About Baykar
Bayraktar TB2 uses a triple-redundant flight-control architecture and can autonomously taxi, take off, cruise and land. Electro-optical payloads support ISR and target designation, while weapon interfaces enable precision strike. The TB2T-AI update adds terrain-referenced visual navigation, autonomous route planning and onboard target recognition.
AKINCI is a larger twin-engine aircraft designed for longer-endurance ISTAR and strike missions with radar, electronic-support and heavier weapon options. Baykar develops the airframes, avionics, ground stations and mission software together, giving operators an integrated aircraft system rather than a platform assembled from separate flight-control and command products.
