TUSAS Aksungur is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) being developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAS) for the Turkish Armed Forces. While the fuselage, wing and landing gear are newly developed for the program, the new UAV continues its common features with the Anka family, especially in terms of interior systems and avionics. It will also be able to be flown using the existing ground control station of the in-service model. Aksungur is the largest unmanned aerial vehicle produced by TUSAS to date. It is designed to be used for long-term surveillance, intelligence, maritime patrol missions or as an Armed Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (SIHA).
