Скачать или смотреть “BARKAN”! Turkiye’s Army first most dangerous UGV that capable of launches guided missiles

Türkiye’s unmanned ground vehicle Barkan, developed by Havelsan under the coordination of the Defense Industries Presidency, has made its first guided missile firing.

the test shot was made with the laser-guided miniature missile system METE developed by Türkiye’s rocket producer Roketsan.

Unmanned patrols can be carried out at the border walls by attaching a 3-meter camera system, Barkan can detect things up to 200 meters away thanks to the sensors in its front surface.

Barkan can pinpoint targets in motion and has a command-control distance of 2 kilometers.

The vehicle has the Sarp Weapon System developed by Türkiye’s largest defense company Aselsan as a payload, which has 360-degree rotation capability, they informed.

Designed according to the needs of the modern battlefield, Barkan is expected to be an important assistant to the soldier in the field, especially in increasing the success of the operation, reducing the costs and preventing losses.

BARKAN, with its emphasis on firepower, offers multi-role capabilities necessary for a wide spectrum of assignments, including tactical overwatch, medical evacuation, and chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) detection. Its operationally proven features enable it to perform efficiently in difficult terrain and adverse weather conditions.

Equipped with remote control and autonomous mission capabilities, BARKAN is poised to be an integral companion for military units in future warfare scenarios. The vehicle's swarm infrastructure allows for joint operations with other land and air vehicles from a centralized command, enhancing collaborative efforts.

BARKAN’s modular design accommodates various payloads, making it versatile for multi-purpose UGV missions such as armed ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance), close protection, and armed reconnaissance. With its stealth and agility, BARKAN is uniquely positioned to undertake dangerous missions, providing the fire support and multi-sensor intelligence needed for effective operations in modern combat environments.
