The PARS Watcher Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is getting ready to make a distinction on the battlefield with its lengthy endurance, vary, silence, and exact imaging capabilities.
Titra Technology launched the PARS Watcher UAV on the sixteenth International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF 2023).
Davut Yılmaz, the General Manager of the corporate, acknowledged that they’ve been engaged on the challenge for a couple of yr.
They goal to create a cloud-capable, long-endurance, day-night imaging, dependable, and sturdy product. Yılmaz acknowledged, “In Türkiye, there are unfortunately not many effective and reliable solutions that can fly under the cloud, stay in the air for a long time, and have these features. We initiated this project to fill this gap. The tests for the project have been ongoing for the last 3 months and it has reached a significant maturity level. We have a few more tests to go. I believe that all tests will be completed in the coming days within this year. PARS can stay in the air for more than 4 hours, has a range of about 60 kilometers, and is equipped with a special camera that can capture day-night images. It also has a dynamic flight algorithm supported by artificial intelligence features. While designing it, we aimed to make it as simple as possible yet reliable. Such products can require a lot of maintenance and upkeep when used in the field, which can complicate their use. Therefore, we tried to design a product that requires as little maintenance and repair as possible and is cost-effective. This is how the story of PARS began.”
Yılmaz highlighted a very powerful options that distinguish PARS from different UAVs in its class. He talked about that rotary-wing drones have a restricted endurance of 30-45 minutes within the air, and VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) plane can keep within the air for round 2 hours if they’re electrically powered.
In regular motorized UAVs, this endurance extends to 4 hours, however the threat of being seen will increase because of the excessive noise degree. In this context, PARS fills a big hole as it will possibly keep within the air for a very long time and has a particularly silent design.
Additionally, the digital camera units PARS aside, as it’s not a traditional digital camera however a fusion-type digital camera system with 4 elements built-in. Yılmaz acknowledged, “I believe PARS will attract a lot of attention.”
PARS can be outfitted with a laser designator, Yılmaz mentioned, “It is feasible to mark any goal with a laser. It additionally works with an computerized goal monitoring algorithm.”
”We have the chance to make use of PARS along with DELİ, which we launched simply final week. This truly means utilizing PARS as an observer earlier than kamikaze use. In different phrases, figuring out the targets with PARS and hitting them with DELİ. This idea has been extensively used and in style in navy phrases in recent times. PARS will present important companies with its lengthy endurance, silence, and digital camera.”
Yılmaz emphasised that there’s additionally important demand for the kamikaze UAV DELİ. He acknowledged, “I can say that we have received positive feedback from our soldiers and many countries from Africa to Asia. It will soon be in the inventory, and I believe we will make the first export within this year.”
