Turci opet imaju novitete
Turkey unveiled kamikaze drone with AI-assisted optical guidance
Citat:Winged mobile munitions Kemankes [Kagem] developed by Baykar [the manufacturer of Bayraktar TB2 drones] were shown for the first time. This happened at the TeknoFest 2023 exhibition. Our loitering munition has a communication range of 50+ kilometers.
Citat:The new Turkish kamikaze drone will be able to fly for at least an hour in the air and will quickly head to the target thanks to its turbojet engine. The kamikaze, which also can perform an autonomous flight, is specifically designed to destroy strategic targets behind the front [deep in the enemy’s rear].
Kagem, equipped with optical guidance assisted by artificial intelligence, can operate up to an altitude of 18,000 feet. The normal cruise speed of the munition, which can dive towards its target at a maximum speed of Mach 0.7, is Mach 0.3.
With a length of 1.73 meters and a wingspan of 1.25 meters, Kagem can carry a payload of 6 kilograms. It is equipped with a camera system with 2-axis stabilization, 36x zoom, and a laser rangefinder with a range of 2.8 kilometers. Baykar is also believed to be working on heavier, longer-range ammunition.
Turkish sources say the operational range of the new kamikaze drone will be 200+ km.
