Aselsan will provide the 12.7mm STAMP gun systems, and Turkey\u2019s state-controlled missile-maker Roketsan will outfit the surface warfare drone with indigenous missile systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sefine began the USV work in 2019 in cooperation with the Presidency of Defence Industries, Turkey\u2019s defense procurement agency. Aselsan joined the program in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A news release from Aselsan said the new drones will provide autonomous reconnaissance and intelligence gathering, and fulfill missions such as surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare, and the protection of bases, ports, critical facilities and high-value surface assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NB57 and RD09 are to reach a maximum speed of 40 knots. They\u2019re also expected to have an operational range of 600 nautical miles and be on duty for four days without replenishment. Both USVs can be transported by cargo aircraft, naval ships or land to the mission area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Aselsan\u2019s STAMP automatic gun on both vessels, the RD09 will have two tactical missile launchers developed by Roketsan, while NB57 will be fitted with four lightweight torpedoes of the American-made Mk-46 class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
