With its latest Akinci unmanned combat drone, Turkey joins a select few nations capable of manufacturing military UCAV's featuring state-of-the-art technology

The affordability, access and effectiveness offered by the drone has given rise to active discussions among defence analysts, generals and policymakers of the revolutionary rise of drone power in the 21st century. Baykar’s Akinci UCAV further establishes Turkey’s position within the highly-competitive global defence economy, while presenting governments with more powerful and versatile drone solutions.

A micro-munition produced by Roketsan, a Turkish defence manufacturer, to be used on the Akinci PT-2 TIHA. Using domestically-produced ammunition not only stimulates the Turkish defence economy further and diversifies it further, but also ensures the sustainability of supply and easier logistics for Turkish operations, a key priority of Turkish national defence strategy. A similar principle of interoperability allows the Akinci to use a wide suite of missiles and munitions from multiple Turkish defence manufacturers.
