Interesting development from a Turkish Company, CS Gas launching Drone

FLIR Systems' Star SAFIRE[emoji768] 380-HD

Wasn't Aselsan CATS sufficient in meeting this criteria?

 

[Mr.Department]

English please.

How they solved Gimbal and preferred Star Safire and not Cats.

Wasn't Aselsan CATS sufficient in meeting this criteria?

I am also a bit confused. Lets compare the products.

Wasn't Aselsan CATS sufficient in meeting this criteria?

CATS is heavier and overkill for a drone of the TB2's class. Probably more expensive than the FLIR too due to FLIR's much bigger production scale.

 

[Mr.Department]

Ok, now I have some data :

45 KG - and no Target Pointer ?

OK - 61 kg -

but with laser target designator

How many weapon stations Anka and Bayraktar have?

 

[Mr.Department]

How many weapon stations Anka and Bayraktar have?

http://www.aviationanalysis.net/2017/04/armed-turkish-anka-uav-commence-trails.html

same is TB-2 and Karayel.

 

[Timur]

do we have small uavs with laser targeting ?

like something that can be started from a tank or thrown/ shoot by helicopter ?

specially from tank and ifv it would be a great useful enhancement

KÜÇÜK NOTLAR
* Siha haberlerini terör örgütleride yakınen takip ediyor; Mesela eskisi kadar karabalık dolaşmıyorlar, şemsiye ve vücuda jelatin sararak termal izi azaltıyorlar ...
* Siha operatörleri; uçağı yerden kaldırmadan kendisine verilen koordinatlarda uçurur ve emri alır ve vurur. Burada asıl işi FLIR ve SAR dan görüntülerin aktarıldığı merkezdeki, bölgeyi ve örgütü yakınen takip eden istihbarat ekipleri tüm verileri başka kaynaklardan alarak birleştirir.. iha görüntüsü bunlardan sadece biridir...
Siha operatörü kendisine,bu merkezlerden verilen talimata göre uçar ve vurur...
* Siha küçük terör guruplarının vurulması için maliyet etkin, sessiz ve ansızın bir ölüm sunar... yetmediği yerde T129 Atak, F16... kullanılır...

Interesting development of conceptual radial motor from a small Turkish Paramotor engine company. Engine could be very useful for tactical UAVs.

Power output can be increased by adding multiple power units.

 

[Saithan]

So which tests would be necessary to give this engine a fair evaluation ? it's no longer in a concept stage, now that they've built it. So next step must be to build several prototypes and expose them to criterias expected from AUV engines.

Would Bayraktars engine be a good comparison ?

 

[Otonom Piyade]

Interesting development from a motor enthusiast. It seems they've made a fair bit of investment to develop this engine, but it has potential and could possibly be used on future smaller scale UAV's.
