ANKA Multi-Role ISR System

The TAI Anka is a family of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries for the requirements of the Turkish Armed Forces. Basic Anka-A is classified as a Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) UAV. performs day and night, all-weather reconnaissance, target detection / identification and intelligence missions with its EO/IR and SAR payloads, featuring autonomous flight capability including Automatic Take-off and Landing.

ANKA incorporates a heavy-fuel engine and electro-expulsive Ice Protection System with an Advanced Ground Control Station and dual datalink allowing operational security and ease.

The system is expandable with a Transportable Image Exploitation Station, Radio Relay, Remote Video Terminal and SATCOM.

Anka +A 

On 19 July 2012, the Turkish Defense Industry Executive Committee (SSIK) announced that Turkish Aerospace Industries had commenced research and development for the design and development of a "hunter killer" High Altitude Long Endurance version of the ANKA UAV, named the Anka +A. It is planned that Anka +A will carry Cirit missiles of Turkey's Roketsan. The engines of Anka +A UCAV has not yet been determined. It may have more powerful turbo engines or it could have gas turbine engine. The weight of Anka +A UCAV will be more than 4 tons compared to Anka UAV's 1.5 tons. It is highly expected that the UCAV will be presented to public in the events of IDEF'13 on 7–10 May 2013.
