Bayraktar TB3 STOL UCAV hit a target with MAM-L glide munition, designated provided by KALKAN VTOL UAV fitted with Baykar’s own BG-180 EO system during a test.
The recent munition test for the Bayraktar TB3 LHD/Carrier-capable UCAV saw a team-up with Baykar’s KALKAN VTOL UAV developed to support ISR capabilities.
KALKAN VTOL, fitted with the BG180 EO system with five kilometer laser designation range, acted as a remote sensor for Bayraktar TB3, which launched a MAM-L laser-guided glide munition. The video shared by Baykar also shows that the test was conducted by a Bayraktar TB2 fitted with an ASELFLIR 500 EO/IR system.
BG180 is a part of Baykar’s line of electro-optical systems, which also includes the smaller BG160 in day and thermal variants, the slightly larger BG220 with day and thermal imaging, and the heavy-duty BG460 for UCAVs. BG160 to BG220 are available to the KALKAN VTOL UAV used in the test.
