An analysis on Operability of Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Systems over Turkish Territory

Abstract

The requirements for operational arena of Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (TUAV) are highly effected with the geographical and weather conditions. A TUAV requirement for a flat terrain with moderate weather over the year varies dramatically from a mountainous terrain with severe weather conditions. Availability of the infrastructure such as airfields, highways is another contributing factor towards the system requirements. Transportability brings another concern when TUAV system is to be deployed by existing aerial assets. This paper evaluates the conditions of Turkish territory and infrastructure; transportability/mobility and therefore tries to approach to the best set of requirements for a TUAV system, with a review of crew and ground vehicles that can operate in Turkish Armed Forces.
