KOUSTECH has developed a "Power Distribution System" with the support of ASELSAN engineers to be used in the autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle it has developed.
KOUSTECH, Kocaeli University Autonomous Systems Technologies team, has been developing Autonomous Air Systems for 22 years with its teams of 2 engineering students. KOUSTECH team, which carries out all the design, production, test and qualification processes with its own capabilities and capabilities, also represents our country in the AUVSI-SUAS competition held in the USA.
The team, which has so far developed 4 different fixed-wing autonomous aircraft, 2 different rotary-wing autonomous aircraft and autonomous land vehicles, is developing both platforms and subsystems. While developing electronic sub-systems for these platforms in areas such as gimbal control system, power distribution system, sensor fusion system, antenna tracking system, it develops production technologies in areas such as image processing, autonomous flight, autonomous wayfinding, composite mold manufacturing and mold manufacturing.
ASELSAN – KOUSTECH cooperation
KOUSTECH has developed a "Power Distribution System" with the support of ASELSAN engineers to be used in self-developed autonomous aircraft. The developed power distribution system is a system that can be used in many different systems, especially autonomous aircraft.
With the technical support of ASELSAN Transportation, Power and Energy Directorate (UGES) engineers, the Power Distribution System developed by the Koustech Avionics Systems team meets the power needs of many different electronic systems in the autonomous vehicle.
The power distribution system produced according to MIL-STD-461 and IPC standards consists of 3 different components. One of these components ensures that the voltage needed by each electronic component in the autonomous vehicle is transmitted in an isolated manner. The other component, the Electromagnetic filter, prevents electromagnetic interference, which is one of the biggest problems, especially in autonomous vehicles. With its structure, it prevents electromagnetic interference and helps to purify the system from disruptive effects. The third layer, the connector layer, together with the military type connectors, can provide isolation and modularity of the system.
This product was developed by a university team with the support of Aselsan, which many companies in our country had difficulties developing in these standards. National Technology moves the student earned by employees owning the ability of our country in the future startup is expected to be an important part of Turkey's National Technology Breakthrough with the endüstrü to gain.
Engineer Production
Members who graduated from the KOUSTECH team and actively work as guides in the team take important roles in both the civil and defense sectors. There are many team members who have worked in leading technology and financial institutions of our country such as BAYKAR Machinery, Turkish Aerospace Industry, TEI, STM, NETAŞ, Vakıfbank with the experience they have gained in KOUSTECH and still continue to work. In this respect, KOUSTECH works like a "factory" that produces trained engineers especially for the Turkish Defense Industry.
KOUSTECH team captain Kadir Doğan stated that their main goal is to "produce technology" and underlined that they continue to work despite the difficulties they face.
Doğan said in a statement, “We are doing a very disciplined job. We are a team that constantly gains experience and transfers its experience. We are trying to act as a corporate structure. Our main goal is to train individuals who produce technology for our country and while doing this, to bring technology to our country in the field of autonomous systems. We can see the effects of this technological achievement in many different areas. For example, one of our team members, who has worked and graduated, also works in the Respirator Project, which is produced locally in our country.
We are able to carry out this work with the support of our important defense industry companies such as ASELSAN and BAYKAR and our institutions such as the Turkish Technology Team Foundation. Because it is very difficult for us to find support for the work we do outside of a few companies and institutions. We find it difficult for many companies to explain the work we do and its importance. For this reason, it becomes very important that our institutions and organizations such as ASELSAN, BAYKAR and Turkey Technology Team support us.
There are many young people who want to develop technology in our country like us. In recent years, many young people continue their studies abroad and they are doing very well there. The main reason why young people like us are doing this job abroad is that they can't make their voices heard enough and find support. We also experience this situation a lot. I hope that the successes of teams like ours in this regard create an awareness and support not only of certain individuals and institutions but also of a larger structure against the works of such teams. In this way, our country and nation will win with the spirit of the National Technology Move.” said.
