Domestic kamikaze drone 'KarguFPV' hits target with full accuracy in first test shot

STM has created a domestic solution in the field of 'FPV drones', which are increasingly used in modern warfare. After tactical mini UAV systems such as Kargu, Boyga, Togan, the 'KarguFPV drone' was introduced for the first time. After the integration of design, system, ammunition and fuse, KarguFPV hit the target with full accuracy in the first test shot.

STM General Manager Özgür Güleryüz stated that STM increased the operational capabilities of security forces with its field-proven mini UAV systems and said, "Now, we are offering a national and innovative solution in the battlefield with our FPV kamikaze drone family. We have equipped the first member of our family, which we developed for operational needs, with an advanced military security fuse and the ability to operate without being affected by electronic warfare. We are adding STM's autonomy and artificial intelligence-supported image processing and precision strike capabilities to FPV. Unlike its counterparts, the product we have presented can mark the target with its image processing-supported autonomous terminal diving capability and make a precise strike. We will add our high autonomy and computer vision capabilities to the future members of our FPV Drone family and present innovative FPV products."

PRECISION STRIKE WITH AUTONOMY

Providing deterrent power against dynamic threats in asymmetric warfare environments, the KarguFPV kamikaze drone targets enemy elements with its operator-controlled real-time vision system and neutralizes its target with anti-personnel ammunition. With its high maneuverability, day and night effective operation capability and low radar cross-section, KarguFPV provides precision strikes against fixed or moving targets. Equipped with an advanced military security fuse and integrated day and night camera, KarguFPV will be able to operate without being affected by electronic warfare systems such as jamming/blinding. The platform offers automatic detonation at adjustable distances with its proximity fuse sensor, while its autonomous terminal diving capability supported by image processing marks the target and provides a precise hit.

KarguFPV has a mission range of 10 kilometers, can stay in the air for 20+ minutes in kamikaze mode, 44 minutes in observation mode (without ammunition and fuse). It has a mission altitude of 500 meters, a maximum altitude of 5500 meters and a maximum speed of 160 kilometers.

FPV (First Person View) drones, which came to the fore especially with the Ukraine-Russia war, stand out as a low-cost and effective attack tool that the operator flies by receiving real-time images from the drone's camera via glasses or a screen and can make precise strikes by directing it directly to the target.
