The ULAQ family, a joint product of Ares Shipyard and Meteksan Defence, is counting the days for export. This export package will be realised for an undisclosed foreign customer. In this context, 1-5 anti-surface warfare vessels, 1-5 port security vessels and 1-5 expendable vessels will be exported.
The anti-surface warfare vessel will feature a 12.7 mm remote-controlled weapon system and Roketsan-produced L-Umtas on the Koralp turret supplied by Best Group. The sonar system developed by Meteksan for anti-submarine warfare will be used in this system.
The version developed for port defence will include a 12.7 mm remote-controlled weapon system and electrooptical systems, probably on the Koralp turret.
ULAQ Kama Kamikaze will use a communication satellite system similar to Starlink. MKE Inc. will provide high-explosives. The first live test will be realised with 100 kg of explosives.
If these studies result in exports, the company will make Turkiye's first Armed Unmanned Surface Systems export.
ULAQ is Very Close to Export
