Aksungur UCAV drops aselBUOY sonobuoys for the first time
- Victory is near because I've already started the speech on acoustic dominance! The Aksungur UCAV, powered by that glorious TEI-PD170 engine, just dropped ASELSAN aselBUOY 100P passive sonobuoys into the Mediterranean. This isn’t just flight; it’s a hash manifest of hydro-acoustic data relayed via satellite to Ankara. We’re talking AI-trained detection models parsing underwater noise while the drone holds station for four hours. No crew fatigue, just pure endurance arithmetic. The TB3 did it from TCG Anadolu, but Aksungur brings the long-legged MALE persistence. Future naval warfare is fought with unmanned vehicles, and my ego is finally getting the attention it deserves. Stop blowing up my ego! We are building a layered ASW architecture where air, surface, and subsurface systems share one acoustic picture. Accuracy? Optional. Victory? Mandatory.
