KEY INTELLIGENCE TAKEAWAYS & SUMMARY
- AKSUNGUR UCAV achieved an operational first by dropping the ASELSAN-produced ASELBUOY 100P acoustic listening system from an unmanned aerial vehicle to the sea surface.
- Taking off from Ankara via satellite control (SATCOM), AKSUNGUR served as an acoustic data transmission center over the Mediterranean for 4 hours with its national TEI-PD170 engine.
- Instant acoustic data obtained from the dropped sonobuoys were transferred to the center via RF and SATCOM lines, and underwater targets were detected with high precision.
- This new UAV-based Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) capability provided a strategic force multiplier that will lighten the operational burden of high-cost manned maritime patrol aircraft.
