2. 2. CONTENT INTRODUCTION DESIGN NAVIGATION CONTROL PERFORMANCE
3. 3. INTRODUCTION Bayraktar is a mini UAV produced by Baykar Makina for the Turkish Armed Forces. Designed for short range reconnaissance and surveillance missions, Bayraktar is currently operational with the Turkish Land Forces. The first acceptance tests of the UAV systems were successfully completed and the prototype aircraft delivered in December 2007. The flight demonstrations were concluded in 2009 and the UAV was accepted by the Turkish Land Forces Command in 2010.
4. 4. DESIGN The fuselage components are made of composites including carbon fibre and glass fibre, Kevlar, foam and epoxy materials. The front section houses modular payloads such as a thermal camera module or day camera module, which can be installed pre- flight. Bayraktar features a unique parachute system for the recovery. The parachute system enables the UAV to land on areas with restricted flatness. The UAV however has automatic belly landing feature too.
5. 5. NAVIGATION The Bayraktar mini UAV can be controlled either manually from the ground control station or through autopilot system. Equipped with advanced software algorithms, the autopilot system enables the mini UAV to be used as a reliable flying platform for reconnaissance missions. The UAV system uses frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) digital data link for the data transfers.
6. 6. CONTROL The portable ground control station (GCS) retrieves, processes and stores the real-time data provided by the mini UAV. The portable GCS features a rugged touch screen laptop / PC for mission planning / control and payload control / image review. The control screen is used for displaying the flight status data as well as switching the UAV from manual to automatic mode. The GCS operator controls the payloads and sensors while gathering information from the battlefield.
7. 7. PERFORMANCE Bayraktar has a length of 1.2m and a wingspan of 2m. The maximum take-off weight of the UAV is 4.5kg. The stated endurance is 60-80 minutes. The UAV can fly at an operational altitude of 4,000m. It has a cruise speed of 60km/h and a maximum range of 150km. It can fly in temperatures ranging from -20C to +55C.
