Even although IDEF’23, which isn’t solely one of the essential protection trade gala’s in our nation but additionally on this planet, has ended, the echoes of the tasks introduced right here proceed…
One of the tasks that also has an impression is the ‘Aircraft-Deployable Smart Sea Mine UÇA,’ bearing the signatures of KoçSavunma, MKE, and TÜBİTAK SAGE. UÇA additionally serves for instance of various protection trade corporations working collectively.
Berker Emre Tok, Head of Business Development and Corporate Sustainability Unit at Koç Information and Defense Technologies Inc., talks about how the method developed earlier than explaining the significance of the UÇA venture.
Tok says they have been concerned in a TÜBİTAK venture below the ‘Malaman‘ sensible sea mine venture in 2018 and shares the data that “We have made significant progress in the project as of this year. And at this point, we have put the sea mine into mass production.”
Berker Emre Tok mentions that the product produced below the Malaman venture will endure all qualification exams by the top of this 12 months. Then, they spotlight that it’s going to meet a product that meets the operational wants on the strategic degree of the Turkish Armed Forces.
“We turned the mine we produced into an offensive product”
Tok notes that through the work carried out in Malaman, they rolled up their sleeves to make use of the information gained another way and continues:
“During the Malaman venture, we produced an digital module consisting of sensible mine’s magnetic, acoustic, and stress sensors. The concept of turning this module into an airborne deployable offensive weapon, as in numerous functions on this planet, developed through the years.
Then issues grew to become extra concrete, and our persistent explanations resulted in a synergy and enabled us to create a quick idea. The idea, which will be described as precision aerial mining in its most basic type, was named UÇA.”
Berker Emre Tok additionally shares that UÇA will be launched from both a fight plane or an unmanned aerial car and explains that the mentioned ammunition will be launched to the specified space from a distance of over 120 km.
“By being able to launch from this distance, your aircraft achieves this without entering the range of enemy weapons,” says Tok, in keeping with whom, with UÇA, the enemy’s sea operation space will be successfully managed utilizing this methodology.

“We are excited to have supplied the Turkish Naval Forces with a multi-purpose functionality that can be utilized each for offensive functions and for controlling enemy sea areas. Hopefully, after sure levels, UÇA will enter mass manufacturing and develop into a significant strategic functionality.
In current years, we all know that Turkish UAVs have been in demand from all around the world. UÇA is definitely a product that enhances the potential of home UAVs. In this context, we might continuously hear news concerning the export of UÇA functionality along with UAVs within the close to future.”
