Bayraktar II, a tactical unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), whose software and infrastructure systems were developed by Turkish engineers, has successfully gone through flight tests and is scheduled to be delivered to the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) by the end of the year.
Bayraktar, which was developed by a partnership of two privately owned Turkish companies, has been able to reach an altitude of 27,030 feet and fly for 24 hours during recent test flights, breaking new ground in the history of Turkish aviation.
The TSK will initially be delivering six UAVs, two ground control stations, three ground data terminals, two remote viewing terminals and two camera systems before 2015. Reportedly, the remaining six air vehicles will be delivered to the TSK in the first half of 2015.
