This aircraft is scheduled to enter service in early 2023 and has automatic and semi-automatic flight capabilities in addition to automatic takeoff and landing.
The base for these aircraft will be, among other things, the landing ship Andalu, the flagship of the Turkish Navy, where the tactical drone will be able to perform surveillance and intelligence gathering tasks.
