The Cargo UAV developed by TAI (Turkish Aerospace Industries) is being showcased at the Paris Air Show.
The initial version of the Cargo UAV, exhibited as a small model, is designed to carry a useful load of up to 50 kilograms. This capacity allows for the transportation of valuable supplies such as weapons, ammunition, fuel, equipment, and provisions.
TAI’s Cargo UAV is expected to demonstrate agility, speed, and high levels of safety, building upon the established infrastructure used in other TAI air platforms.
The incorporation of subsystems from previous UAV models, such as ANKA-2, Aksungur, and ANKA-3, suggests a similar approach in autopilot and avionic systems.
While the current version of the Cargo UAV appears compact, its primary objective is to swiftly reach targeted locations and execute agile movements, despite limited airtime.
Considering TAI’s working methodology and field requirements, it is anticipated that larger versions of the Cargo UAV will be developed in the future.
The Cargo UAV’s design enables it to carry various types of payloads, including cameras and potentially other equipment like radars or ammunition. This versatility ensures the platform’s applicability in military and non-military scenarios.
