Aselsan unveils Kiliç kamikaze autonomous underwater vehicle concept

Aselsan showcased the Kiliç series of kamikaze autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) intended for maritime strike/area denial, with claimed 10–100/200 nm range and multiple control modes (wire, RF, satcom). The concept includes semi-submerged comms/sensor masts and envisions swarm employment and launch from shore or integration with unmanned surface vessels, indicating a push toward networked unmanned undersea attack systems.
