High-altitude armed UCAV with AI-assisted sensor fusion and autonomous systems integration. Capable of autonomous multi-target engagement and long-range precision strike.
Akinci is equipped with a synthetic aperture radar in addition to electro-optical and infrared sensors, enabling all-weather intelligence collection and targeting at altitudes above cloud cover. Its dual-turboprop engines give it a service ceiling of 40,000 feet and endurance exceeding 24 hours, capabilities that significantly exceed the TB2. Baykar has marketed Akinci as a platform capable of deploying satellite communication links, electronic warfare payloads, and air-launched munitions in a single configurable airframe.
