The company, which set out to develop domestic and national UAV and
flight control systems, produced the Çağatay Unmanned Aerial Vehicle CGT50. The
UAV can take off vertically with its electric motor propellers without the need
for a runway. It starts to fly horizontally by activating its gasoline engine
after taking off. Equipped with domestic software and controllers, the UAV can
operate fully autonomously in harsh weather conditions. Çağatay UAV, which is
in the under-cloud UAV class, has 6 hours’ endurance. Çağatay UAV can be
controlled via satellite. It has feel-and-avoid, anti-collision and swarm
capabilities. Three personal is sufficient to prepare Çağatay UAV to fly. The
company can produce three systems and six aircraft and sub-components per month.
UAVERA works in cooperation with DGCA to provide products and services for
civilian use.
Çağatay İHA is integrated into HAVELSAN’s “Joint Command and Control
Information System” system, DOOB (The Turkish name is Harbiye). DOOB is used in
the harmonious realization of activities that will facilitate the critical
decision-making process in the rapid and accurate sharing of information on the
battlefield, situational awareness, creating an operational picture.
Çağatay UAV will be able to track, command and control as an element in
the field by the users of the DDOB system during flight and provide sub-cloud
reconnaissance and surveillance air support to the field teams.
Thanks to a study carried out in 2021, Çağatay UAV can now be controlled without distance restrictions. As a result of the R&D project conducted in cooperation with INMARSAT, COBHAM, A-TECHSYN and UAVERA and lasted approximately one year, it became the world’s first satellite-controlled UAV system in its class. This way, Çağatay UAVs will be easily controlled via TÜRKSAT satellites with an uninterrupted and reliable connection.
Çağatay UAV can be produced for different tasks, from the surveillance of
forest areas to the control of oil and energy lines, from inspection of
smuggling activities in coastal areas to regional monitoring for detection
purposes in search and rescue activities, and to ensure facility and
environmental security.
