Unmanned ground vehicles and drones integrated in the field

Efforts carried out to enable joint operations of unmanned systems in the Turkish defense industry were showcased to international delegations at the International Best Military Drone Team Competition.

In the studies carried out under the coordination of the Infantry School Command, DASAL Aviation Technologies, a subsidiary of Altınay Defense Technologies, and Tekatron Technology introduced their solutions that bring together unmanned ground vehicles and drones. Thanks to the integration, a ground vehicle can be evaluated not only with its own equipment, but also with different unmanned aerial vehicles it carries and directs to the mission area.

Tekatron's unmanned ground vehicles featured MİKON 10-inch FPV drones, swarm-capable drones, a MİKON 15-inch drone with a mechanism to drop four 60-millimeter mortar munitions, an anti-tank munition drone, and the Arı Kuşu reconnaissance-surveillance drone. This variety allows ground and air elements to be configured in a way that complements each other.
