Turkey\u2019s vice president, Fuat Oktay, visited the Baykar Makina production unit to inspect the Ak\u0131nc\u0131.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bayraktar believes the platform\u2019s development foreshadows a more advanced version of itself down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are hoping to have our first unmanned fighter aircraft by 2023. We are also hoping to fly our first unmanned aerial vehicle that can carry up to 1.5 tons of payload for strategic missions in 2019,\u201d Bayraktar said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Baykar is Turkey\u2019s leading privately owned drone specialist. It has supplied 58 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/unmanned\/2018\/03\/06\/unmanned-tech-ambitions-shape-turkeys-future-military\/\" target=_blank>unarmed and armed drones to the Turkish military<\/a> that are mainly deployed in areas (southeastern Turkey, northern Syria and northern Iraq) where the country is fighting Kurdish militants. Fifteen Baykar drones are simultaneously on duty for counterterror missions. The company wants to raise that number to 50.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/air\/2017\/11\/03\/drone-wars-turkey-ups-homegrown-options\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/anka-22.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Drone wars: Turkey ups homegrown options<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Turkey is seeking to counter threats on both sides of its border, and local industry is preparing to fulfill that demand.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Baykar\u2019s TB-2, a drone that comes in both armed and unarmed versions, is mainly deployed in Turkey\u2019s southeast to combat Kurdish militants. The armed version uses the MAM-L and MAM-C, two miniature smart munitions developed and produced by state-controlled missile-maker Roketsan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Industry sources say Turkey\u2019s industry also is developing BSI-101, a signals intelligence system, for the TB-2 to end the country\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2017\/07\/03\/turkey-s-increasing-reliance-on-drone-systems\/\" target=\"_blank\">dependence<\/a> on American-made SIGINT systems for drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The TB-2 can fly at a maximum altitude of 24,000 feet for up to 30 hours. Its communications range is 150 kilometers. The aircraft can carry up to 55 kilograms of payload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe (the world) are decades away from fully unmanned fighter aircraft. But for countries like Turkey that fight asymmetrical warfare, the gear built between full unmanned fighters and today\u2019s armed drones will be crucial,\u201d a senior defense procurement official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Increasing asymmetrical threats on both sides of Turkey\u2019s Syrian and Iraqi borders have urged the country\u2019s military and procurement and industry officials to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2016\/10\/19\/turkey-looks-to-enrich-drone-fleet\/\" target=_blank>boost existing drone programs and launch new ones<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ak\u0131nc\u0131 is the latest version of a family of drones Turkey thinks could best fight insurgency at home and abroad. In June, Turkish officials said a contract had been signed for the development and production of the 4.5-ton Ak\u0131nc\u0131. The first deliveries are scheduled for 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ak\u0131nc\u0131 features an altitude of 40,000 feet and a payload capacity of 1,350 kilograms, which it can carry for up to 24 hours. The aircraft is powered by two turboprop engines, each generating 550 horsepower. The engine is under development by Tusas Engine Industries, or TEI, a state-controlled engine maker of the PD170.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TEI has been working on the PD170 since December 2012 when it signed a development contract with SSM (now SSB), the country\u2019s procurement agency,.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2.1-liter, turbo-diesel PD170 can produce 170 horsepower at 20,000 feet, and 130 horsepower at 30,000 feet. It can generate power at a maximum altitude of 40,000 feet. The PD170 was designed for the Anka, Turkey\u2019s first indigenous medium-altitude, long-endurance drone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ak\u0131nc\u0131 has a 20 meter wingspan, and is 12.5 meters long and 4.1 meters high. It can be equipped with indigenously developed satellite communications technology; a common aperture targeting system FLIR; a wide area surveillance system; electronic and signals intelligence systems; an electronic support measure pod; a collision avoidance system; a multirole active electronically scanned array air radar; and a synthetic aperture\/ground moving target indicator radar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ak\u0131nc\u0131 can be armed with a wide range of air-to-ground munitions including MAM-L, MAM-C, CIRIT, Mk81 and Mk82 general-purpose bombs, smart munitions (such as HGK, KGK and LGK) with various guidance kits, and SOM air-launched cruise missiles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A privately owned Turkish drone
