Problem
Conventional artillery and missile systems require fixed launch platforms, extensive logistics, and often lack the flexibility to engage time‑sensitive or moving ground, naval, aerial, and underwater targets with precision. This limits rapid response and increases collateral damage risk in dynamic combat environments.
Solution
Loitering Munition develops autonomous drone systems that combine real‑time surveillance, target acquisition, and strike capabilities in a single, portable platform. Their product family includes SALDIRAY for precision ground‑target destruction, BATIRAY designed for deployment from naval vessels, YILDIRAY capable of detecting and engaging aerial threats, and ATILAY for submarine detection and neutralization. Each system loiters over the battlefield, uses onboard sensors to identify targets, and can execute a kinetic strike without external guidance, providing forces with a flexible, low‑signature option for rapid, precise engagement across multiple domains.
Target Audience
Primary customers are defense forces and military procurement agencies seeking versatile, low‑cost strike solutions for ground, naval, air, and anti‑submarine operations.
Features
- Integrated sensor suite (EO/IR, radar, acoustic) for autonomous target detection and classification
- Loiter time of up to several hours, enabling on‑demand strike after target identification
- Compact, launch‑from‑any‑platform design suitable for ground units, naval ships, and submarines
- Precision-guided warhead with selectable impact profiles to minimize collateral damage
- Secure, encrypted data link for real‑time video and telemetry feed to command operators
- Fully autonomous flight control with optional manual override for mission flexibility
