About Bayraktar TB2
TB2 has a maximum take-off weight of approximately 700 kilograms, useful load of 150 kilograms and endurance above 20 hours. Its triple-redundant flight-control system manages taxi, take-off, cruise and landing, while line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight communications connect the aircraft with its ground station.
Electro-optical and infrared payloads provide surveillance and target designation, and four underwing stations carry precision-guided weapons. The newer TB2T-AI configuration adds onboard AI, terrain-referenced visual navigation and autonomous route planning, extending the aircraft's ability to operate through interference and reduced external navigation support.
