TÜBİTAK SAGE's KUZGUN-SS glide munition dropped from Baykar's AKINCI UCAV and successfully hit the stationary sea target.
Following the integration on AKSUNGUR UCAV a year ago, KUZGUN-SS was dropped from AKINCI UCAV on a stationary sea target. Alongside MAM-T, KGK-82, TOLUN SDB, and the wing kit version of TEBER, KUZGUN-SS will be the fourth extended-range glide munition in AKINCI's arsenal.
Another development on the KUZGUN munition family is revealing the solid-fuel rocket variant KUZGUN-KY's fixed launcher on Marlin AUSV, holding eight missiles, shared by TRT News. Malaysian Dayatech also offers a turreted launcher for all KUZGUN variants, which is meant for small naval platforms.
KUZGUN modular joint munition family revealed in IDEF'19 consists of three variants: gliding KUZGUN-SS, solid-fuel rocket KUZGUN-KY, and turbojet-powered KUZGUN-TJ. The munitions will be available to aircraft, ground platforms, and naval platforms.
The unpowered KUZGUN SS will be available to aircraft with a range of 40+ km (depending on launch altitude and speed) and a 14x2 kg warhead.
The available warhead types are HE-FRAG, multi-purpose, and thermobaric. As the standard feature of the KUZGUN family, KUZGUN-SS will be able to use laser, IIR, mmW radar, and hybrid IIR/laser seekers.
