Baykar Successfully Tests Shooting AI-powered Explore Missiles For MANAGEMENT 1, Equipped With Anti-jamming Technology

JAKARTA - Turkey's defense technology company Baykar this month successfully completed a new trial round for KEMANKEwa 1, an artificial intelligence-powered mini-crossing missile (AI) designed for a strategic ground attack developed domestically.

In a statement, Baykar said, the KEMANKE GUN 1 missile, which was launched from the Bayraktar AKINCI unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV), managed to hit the ground target with very high accuracy in the trial which was a continuation of previous tests that succeeded in hitting the air target in challenging conditions.

The latest test flight, coordinated by training centers and test flights in Badminton and the Ministry of Environment, shows Bayraktar AKINCI taking off with two KEMANKEKE 1 missiles under its wings.

During the exercise, the cruise, dive and missile attack capabilities were tested. Using the AI-assisted targeting system developed by Baykar, KEMANKE referral 1 accurately destroys the targeted ground targets, quoted from the Daily Sabah July 20.

The KEMANKEGA cruise missile was first introduced to the public at the 2023 Teknofest. This missile took its name from the names of legendary Turkish archers who are known for their precision in hitting targets with arrows, even in the toughest conditions.

These missiles are compatible with Baykar's flagship UAVs: Bayraktar AKINCI, Bayraktar TB2, and Bayraktar TB3. Powered by jet engines, these mini-crossing missiles can operate for more than 30 minutes and reach targets for more than 200 kilometers (120 miles), even behind enemy lines.

Equipped with an AI-backed optical guidance system, KEMANKEANG 1 can automatically identify and destroy targets in difficult weather conditions. The missile is also equipped with an AI-assisted autopilot, which allows high-precision autonomous missions against strategic targets.

Furthermore, it is said, this missile is capable of operating day or night and is equipped with anti-jamming technology to operate in electronic warfare environments.

In addition, the missile also maintains full line-of-sight communication with its parent platform, transmitting all data and visuals collected to ground control stations, offering tracking and real-time analysis to operators.
