Baykar Technology CEO Haluk Bayraktar announced that they have finalized export contracts with two countries for the AKINCI TİHA (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle).
Following the announcement that the first flight tests of the AKINCI B TİHA, which has two 750 horsepower engines, were successfully completed, Baykar Technology CEO Haluk Bayraktar shared with his followers that they have finalized export contracts with two countries for the AKINCI TİHA.
Baykar Technology has not yet shared any information regarding which countries the AKINCI TİHA will be exported to, or the scope and size of the order.
What is the Baykar AKINCI TİHA?
Longer and wider than the Bayraktar TB2, the Akıncı UAV will have a wingspan of 20 meters thanks to its unique twisted wing structure and will be able to carry numerous domestically produced smart munitions. Akıncı will also be smarter and more aware of environmental conditions thanks to its unique artificial intelligence system, offering its users advanced flight and diagnostic functions.
The Akıncı, aiming to be a leader in its class like the Bayraktar TB2, will also perform some of the tasks carried out by fighter jets. It will operate with much more advanced payloads, including an electronic support pod, satellite communication systems, air-to-air radars, obstacle detection radar, and synthetic aperture radar. Reducing the workload of fighter jets, the Akıncı will also be capable of aerial bombardment. Equipped with domestically developed air-to-air missiles, the Akıncı UAV will also be usable in air-to-air missions.
The Bayraktar Akıncı Attack Unmanned Aerial Vehicle System, which is being developed to become the world's most technologically advanced system in its class, will be equipped with domestically produced munitions, missiles, and bombs such as MAM-L, MAM-C, Cirit, L-UMTAS, Bozok, MK-81, MK-82, MK-83, Winged Guidance Kit (KGK)-MK-82, Gökdoğan, Bozdoğan, and SOM-A.
