Baykar has conducted Maximum Flight and Dive Tests with two KEMANKES 1 mini cruise missiles as part of the system’s ongoing test campaign.
Baykar’s high-tech, AI-powered unmanned systems continue to successfully complete their test campaigns. As part of this process, two KEMANKES 1 AI-powered Mini Cruise Missiles have successfully completed their Maximum Flight and Dive Tests.
The testing schedule of KEMANKES 1, the first member of Baykar’s KEMANKES family of AI-powered Mini Cruise Missiles, is progressing successfully. As part of the test, two KEMANKS 1 missiles were launched from Baykar’s Flight Training and Test Center in Keşan, Edirne, aboard a Bayraktar TB2 UCAV, which flew to a designated point in the air. The KEMANKES 1 missiles were then released from the Bayraktar TB2 to carry out the Maximum Flight and Dive Test. The AI-powered mini cruise missiles flew more than 100 kilometers toward their designated targets and successfully completed the test before landing safely via parachute.
Named after archers
KEMANKEŞ 1, the indigenously developed mini smart cruise missile designed by Baykar for use against strategic targets, was publicly exhibited for the first time during TEKNOFEST 2023, held at Atatürk Airport from April 27 to May 1. The name “KEMANKES” is inspired by the master archers in Turkish history, renowned for hitting their targets with perfect precision even under the most challenging conditions.
The strike power of national UAVs
KEMANKEŞ 1 can be integrated into Baykar’s indigenously developed platforms—Bayraktar AKINCI UCAV, Bayraktar TB2 UCAV, and Bayraktar TB3 UCAV—to carry out missions. The mini intelligent cruise missile, which can remain airborne for approximately one hour, uses its jet engine to swiftly engage high-risk targets behind enemy lines. With a mission range of over 200 kilometers, KEMANKES 1 features an AI-supported electro-optical guidance system that enables it to identify and destroy targets with pinpoint accuracy, even under challenging weather conditions.
A game-changer oN tHE battlefield
Equipped with an AI-supported autopilot system, KEMANKES 1 will conduct autonomous flights and neutralize strategic targets with high precision, altering the balance on the battlefield. Capable of operating in both day and night conditions, KEMANKES 1 features anti-jamming technology that allows it to carry out missions without being affected by electronic interference. Maintaining full line-of-sight communication with its host platform, it transmits all collected data and imagery to the ground control station via the platform, supporting the user with data tracking.
