Bayraktar TB2
MALE / UCAV
Bayraktar TB2 is a Türkiye MALE / UCAV platform developed by Baykar. Its recorded first flight took place in 2011, and its current programme status is listed as Active service.
Published specifications list a maximum speed of 110 knots, a service ceiling of 22,000 ft, and endurance of 20 hours. These figures can vary by configuration, mission load and operating conditions, so they are presented primarily for comparison.
Notable systems include Autonomy (Fully Autonomous Flight) and Autonomy (Semi-Autonomous). Its mission role is supported by sensors such as EO/IR Gimbal and Laser (Designator).
Baykar developed the domestic TM100 engine for standard Bayraktar TB2 platforms. The TB2T-AI model is a separate development that uses a more powerful turbo engine and advanced artificial-intelligence systems.
