AKSUNGUR deploys aselBUOY system from UAV at sea for first time
During an exercise off Antalya, AKSUNGUR deployed three aselBUOY 100P Underwater Acoustic Listening Systems developed by ASELSAN and one sonobuoy into the sea. The unmanned aerial vehicle flew for approximately four hours and transmitted the acoustic data it collected to the ground control station in Ankara, enabling the detection of underwater targets.
AKSUNGUR took off from Ankara and flew under satellite control to the operational area off Antalya, completing an exercise focused on the joint use of indigenous systems in maritime missions.
As part of the exercise, AKSUNGUR carried three aselBUOY 100P Underwater Acoustic Listening Systems developed by ASELSAN and one sonobuoy. Operating with the indigenous TEI-PD170 engine developed by TEI, the platform released the systems into the sea through a pod mounted on the aircraft.
Acoustic data transmitted to Ankara
AKSUNGUR descended to an altitude of 1,000 feet off Antalya and released the systems it was carrying into the Mediterranean. The platform then climbed to 6,000 feet and began listening for signals.
After flying for approximately four hours in the operational area, AKSUNGUR transmitted the acoustic data collected by the aselBUOY systems to the integrated acoustic data transmission center connected to the Ground Control Station in Ankara. Underwater targets were detected using the data processed at the center.
aselBUOY released from a UAV for the first time
The exercise marked the first time ASELSAN’s aselBUOY system was released into the sea from an unmanned aerial vehicle. The activity completed the full mission chain, including transporting the systems to the operational area, releasing them into the sea, collecting data obtained underwater and evaluating it at a remote ground control station.
The activity demonstrated the use of AKSUNGUR’s long endurance, high payload capacity and satellite-based control capabilities in maritime missions. The platform’s capabilities for joint operations with maritime patrol aircraft were also advanced through this work conducted with indigenous acoustic listening systems.
