ASELSAN unveils KILIÇ kamikaze AUVs and TUFAN swarm-capable USV

ASELSAN is introducing new unmanned naval strike systems: KILIÇ 10 and KILIÇ 200 expendable “kamikaze” autonomous underwater vehicles with RF/wire-guided control options, acoustic comms, low-signature design, and autonomous/swarm modes, plus the TUFAN USV featuring advanced autonomy and distributed swarm intelligence for ISR and strike. The novelty is the combination of expendable underwater loiter/attack AUV concepts with swarm-capable surface USVs in a coordinated unmanned maritime ecosystem aimed at asymmetric and infrastructure-targeting missions.
