Turkey is a formidable power and they sketch out an illuminating picture of the future here.
With a payload capacity of 200 kg, an endurance of 9 hours, a service ceiling of 21,000 ft, and a control radius of 200 km, the Alpin-2 provides significant logistical advantages to its users. The platform offers notable operational benefits thanks to its Anti-Jam GNSS, Controlled Reception Pattern Antennas (CRPA), GNSS-independent visual navigation capability, real-time mission planning, Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) system, SATCOM satellite communications, and VHF air-band communication systems. The Alpin-2 platform is capable of executing a wide range of missions with various payload options, including cargo, SAR radar, weapon systems, electronic warfare (EW), LIDAR/mapping, communication relay systems, and EO/IR cameras. Following the delivery of two units in 2023, it is planned that four additional platforms will be delivered by the end of this year.

Sharing up-to-date information on the Kamikaze DELİ Product Family and the Merküt FPV Drone, both of which in development and production, DÖNMEZ stated: “In fixed-wing UAVs, our primary focus has been on the loitering munition concept. The underlying reason for this focus stems from our company’s swarm efforts. Why is the fixed-wing loitering munition and fixed-wing swarm concept so important? Characteristics such as dive methodology, dive angle, target detection, endurance, and loitering munition capability are inherent to fixed-wing UAVs. We are talking about a platform with a range of 50 kilometers, an endurance of up to 40–45 minutes, and a warhead capacity of up to 4 kilograms.
