Turkey's Unmanned "Mini Tank" Enters Mass Production

[Test7]

Katmerciler signed a serial production agreement with ASELSAN for the remote-controlled unmanned ground vehicle.

Katmerciler developed the entire platform, including the remote control communication infrastructure of the armed unmanned ground vehicle. The vehicle can be used in reconnaissance, surveillance and target detection tasks. Weapons and all kinds of systems can be integrated into the turret. Thanks to satellite communication, it can be commanded remotely. The vehicle can act autonomously. It can move in steep road, terrain and climate conditions.

As per the mass production contract signed between Aselsan and Katmerciler, armed unmanned ground vehicles, also called “unmanned mini tanks”, will be delivered to the Land Forces Command by 2021.

Furkan Katmerci, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Katmerciler, made a statement following the signing of the contract. He reminded that they first introduced the unmanned ground vehicle concept five years ago in line with the needs of the country. Pointing out that they introduced the first example of the concept, UKAP three years ago, Katmerci noted that the UKAP Platform has turned into an “unmanned mini-tank” with its upper equipment.

The vehicle will be able to detect and destroy the target automatically with the Sarp Dual Remote Stabilized Weapon System developed by Aselsan. The vehicle has a very low thermal trace feature. Suitable for use in day and night, harsh weather conditions and climate, the vehicle has electric and hybrid model options.

The vehicle offers a wide range of options with its weapon station with heavy and light weapons, reconnaissance surveillance vehicle, medical evacuation and cargo vehicle, and configurations that can assist in landing operations.

I think I can be the only one who doubts that such unmanned land vehicles will be used efficiently

How does it defend against jamming?

Antiradiation missile?

Antiradiation missile?

What do you mean? I mean like a tank with a jammer on it that has like 5km range?

A tank with a radio beacon for a missile to home on is an easy target I mean. Last generation antiradiation missiles can home even on handheld radios.

it has satelite communication capability

The Turks have probably introduced a certain degree of resilience towards EW in these vehicles. In addition, they will utilise AI e.g. capable of autonomous operations, hence, even if communication is jammed they will be able to partially complete their mission.

Lastly, the foes of Turkey are retarded when talking about EW and jamming capabilities, so no problem for now.

@Philip the Arab this one is for you

US DOD has provided hundreds of such gadgets to armed forces for testing purpose. But all rejected. Nothing can counter manned intelligence. Too expensive to maintained in battle field. They only good for local crime consumption or urban counter terrorism .

Lol, I'm willing to bet you could jam one of these with an Ali Baba jammer for 10 dollars.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Turkey has great initiative to safe guard it's borders with these Tanks

USMC is experimenting with such vehicles for fire support and as mules. They literally are experimenting with four legged robots, some have mini/machineguns.

Along with AI autopilot trucks which will follow lead truck operated by a truck driver. To minimize casualties in logistics missions.

Put minigun on it and rocket pods. Maybe a 2x ATGM launcher as well(if parameters allow).
