BAYRAKTAR TB3 DRONE FEATURES

Bayraktar TB3 drone is an armed unmanned aerial vehicle system capable of taking off and landing from ships with short runways. In addition to reconnaissance-surveillance and intelligence missions, it has the ability to carry out operations with the domestic smart munitions it carries under its wings. Designed for use on helicopter ships and aircraft carriers with its foldable wing structure, the aircraft offers the user the ability to perform operations with armed unmanned aerial vehicles in overseas missions. Bayraktar TB3, which has line-of-sight communication as well as line-of-sight communication capability, can thus be controlled from very long distances.

Baykar is developing the TB3 so that it can land and take off from the TCG ANADOLU Amphibious Assault Ship, which landed as Türkiye's first amphibious assault ship. TCG ANADOLU will be able to operate with 50 to 110 Bayraktar TB3s depending on the configuration. On the other hand, the assembly work of Bayraktar TB3 prototype is expected to be completed in the first half of this year and the TB3 is expected to make its first flight in 2023.
