The testing process of the KEMANKEŞ 2 Mini Smart Cruise Missile, developed nationally and uniquely by Baykar, has started. Tests of high-tech unmanned systems developed by Baykar continue successfully. The testing process of the KEMANKEŞ 2 Mini Smart Cruise Missile, which will be carried out at Baykar Flight Training and Test Center in Edirne's Keşan district, has started.

EFFECTIVE AGAINST RISKY TARGETS

The mini smart cruise missile, which can stay in the air for approximately 1 hour, will be able to travel quickly thanks to its jet engine and be effective against the riskiest targets behind enemy lines. KEMANKEŞ 200, which has a mission range of 2+ kilometers, will recognize its target thanks to its artificial intelligence-supported optical guidance system and have the ability to destroy it with full accuracy even in difficult weather conditions.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SUPPORTED

It will change the balance on the battlefield by performing autonomous flight with its artificial intelligence-supported autopilot system and neutralizing strategic targets with high precision. KEMANKEŞ 2, which can be used in day and night conditions, will be able to operate without being affected by electronic jamming thanks to its anti-jamming technology. KEMANKEŞ 2 will provide support to the user in data tracking by transmitting all the data and images it obtains to the ground control station.

EXHIBITED FOR THE FIRST TIME AT TEKNOFEST

The first version of the mini smart cruise missile, KEMANKEŞ 1, developed nationally and indigenously by Baykar for use against strategic targets, was exhibited publicly for the first time at TEKNOFEST 27, held at Atatürk Airport between 1 April and 2023 May.
