KMC weapon system, developed by ROKETSAN to launch tactical-grade missiles with laser or IIR guidance, has been spotted on MARLIN USV. The integration was spotted on an informative video shared by SSB about the indigenous engine programmes. During the part of BMC Power’s LEVENT diesel engine that powered the MARLIN USV, the USV was spotted with ROKETSAN’s KMC. This marks a new addition to the list of payloads that have been integrated into ASELSAN and SEFİNE’s USV. Other payloads include KUZGUN KY surface-to-surface missiles and AREAS-2NC electronic warfare system. KMC, mainly used on FNSS’s KAPLAN STA armoured weapons carrier, has been integrated on Ares Shipyards’ ULAQ and Dearsan’s SALVO 15 USVs. HAVELSAN’s SANCAR is also likely to obtain the system. The system can currently use CİRİT 70 mm laser-guided missiles and UMTAS ATGMs (Both variants). SUNGUR air defence missiles and the extended-range UMTAS-GM missiles are also being considered for the system.
