At a time when India has started investing in military drone technology, Turkey has taken another leap forward by designing its first artificial intelligence-powered combat drone. Turkish drone manufacturer Baykar Defense has reportedly begun the phase of conceptual design. Over the years, Turkey has made rapid strides in drone technology with the right mix of planned financial investment and technical know-how. Turkey’s emergence as a ‘drone superpower’ was “by no means peaceful and comes as a result of various confrontations between Russian and Turkish proxies in the Near East,” according to Nicholas Velazquez, who writes for Geopolitical Monitor. The capabilities demonstrated by the Bayraktar TB2 U A V in the Libyan and Syrian civil wars have consolidated Turkey’s position as a drone superpower. In contrast, India seems to be taking baby steps in the U A V sector with the country recently setting up a dedicated Drones Directorate to focus on the U A V. The country’s premier research institute, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), is currently developing the indigenous Rustom-2 medium-altitude long-endurance drone. The indigenously-developed drone has been designed for strategic reconnaissance and surveillance operations. In April, India will test-fly the homegrown Rustom-2 drone from the Chitraguda test range in Karnataka. Currently, the DRDO Bharat light surveillance quadcopter drone, which has been developed by DRDO for the Indian Army, is considered the most advanced homegrown drone. The development of an AI-powered combat drone has been labeled as the “top priority program” by Haluk Bayraktar, General Manager of Baykar Defense. “The privately-owned company will complete the conceptual design phase by 2023, the centennial of the Turkish republic,” said Bayraktar. The upcoming AI-powered drone will possess the ability to fly at an operating altitude of 40,000 feet and will be able to carry out missions for five hours while being connected to a satellite communications data network. the drone will be super-speedy with a cruise speed of 0.8 Mach. It will be able to carry a maximum of 1 ton of payload and would be used in close air support, strategic, hostile air defense system attacks, and missile assault missions.
