Stating that BAHA is a component of HAVELSAN's important project, Özçelik said, “When BAHA first emerged, it was a platform used to test our domestic and national autopilot software and swarm algorithms. We have developed our algorithms on this platform. We wanted to test the improvements made in the regions where our armed forces are located, and we went to many areas. Our aim in doing this was primarily to correctly define, see and test the need of our armed forces in the region. However, we have also developed and improved this test platform itself.” said.
We updated BAHA
Expressing that they have completed these studies on BAHA, Özçelik said, “We have updated BAHA. We are currently conducting our flight tests with a platform with completely different features as a new design. We will be on the field to try this platform very soon. BAHA is not only a product we designed for our armed forces, but also one of our products that we want to export to our friendly and allied countries. In this context, we introduce our product to many countries in different events and conduct test and demo activities related to it. In this context, we are making great efforts to sign an agreement.” used the phrase.
Able to detect and diagnose very remotely
Emphasizing that the new BAHA has many features, Özçelik continued:
“One of the most important of these is that he will now be able to fly in unsuitable weather conditions for flight. In this context, it will be able to fly under certain rain and precipitation conditions, especially in cold weather conditions, together with its sealing feature. In addition, as an imaging system, there will be electro-optical systems with cameras that are much more advanced and capable of detecting and diagnosing from a much longer distance. Again, there will be solutions that will enable it to fly stably in the signal mixing environment. To develop these, we carried out many testing activities in the field. The production of the new prototype is finished, now in flight tests, we have started our user demo activities. In this context, we are testing our newly developed aircraft, I hope we will get much better results and support our armed forces. Production of the new prototype is finished, flight tests are currently ongoing. We anticipate it to be put into use together with the digital unity project in the coming period. The Digital Unity Project is a project consisting of unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned land vehicles and unmanned sea vehicles. Together with the command and control system developed by HAVELSAN behind it, as a fully integrated system, it actually constitutes the infrastructure of the future combat system. In this context, HAVELSAN has serious product studies.”
Pointing out that BAHA has a domestic rate of 90 percent, Özçelik said, “It is designed by us, its body is produced entirely by our domestic companies. We mostly buy the components we use in our content from our local companies.” he said.
Stating that the tests and performance tests continue intensively on BAHA's new platforms that can carry different types and weights of payload, Özçelik added that they continue to work to sign new agreements both at home and abroad.
