Selçuk Bayraktar, the chief expertise officer (CTO) and chairperson of the board of the Turkish drone magnate Baykar, famous in an interview Wednesday that the agency is conducting extra analysis on work on algorithms often known as synthetic intelligence (AI) to extend flight security and allow the plane to understand and perceive their environment.
“Of course, we are mainly conducting these studies for our unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms, but at the same time, we are preparing our flying car named ‘Cezeri,’” Bayraktar advised Demirören News Agency (DHA).
Baykar’s CTO was watching the ultimate of the Rocket Competition held on the charming Tuz Gölü take a look at discipline in central Anatolia as a part of the Teknofest aerospace, area and expertise pageant.
“Teams making ready for these competitions obtain monetary help in order that they will notice their initiatives. There are additionally financial rewards. Of course, all of this may occasionally not maintain a really vital place when in comparison with their achievements. But extra importantly, these groups carry the staff spirit they set up to modern initiatives and make a mark on the world with these initiatives. In a way, this competitors turns into the beginning step for that,” he defined.
Touching upon Türkiye’s first indigenously designed and produced unmanned fighter plane, Kızılelma, Bayraktar mentioned: “In the approaching years, we’re designing its supersonic variant as properly. The growth actions proceed, however we’re presently making ready for manufacturing for the preliminary non-supersonic variant we name Kızılelma A.”
Having accomplished its maiden flight in December final 12 months, the quick drone fighter jet, Kızılelma, represents a major enlargement of capabilities for slow-moving reconnaissance and missile-carrying drones.
“We are conducting research on advanced algorithms known as artificial intelligence to enhance situational awareness and flight safety. However, these efforts are not intended to completely replace humans, especially on armed platforms. The focus is more on enhancing flight safety and enabling the aircraft to perceive and understand its surroundings through algorithms,” Bayraktar defined.
Ankara to host Teknofest
