La empresa de defensa turca Havelsan demostr\u00f3 la semana pasada un hito clave de su proyecto Digital Troop en Ankara, la capital del pa\u00eds: un esfuerzo centrado en la tecnolog\u00eda digital para tropas y enjambres de drones.

MERSIN, Turkey \u2014 The Turkish defense company Havelsan last week demonstrated a key milestone of its Digital Troop project in the country\u2019s capital Ankara \u2014 an effort focused on digital technology for troops and drone swarms.<\/p>\n

During the field test, the company deployed two Baha sub-cloud \u2014 or low-altitude \u2014 unmanned aerial vehicles; two Barkan unmanned ground vehicles; and a swarm consisting of five drones.<\/p>\n

Mehmet Akif Nacar, who leads Havelsan, said the assets performed their tasks during the scenario. He explained that two Pioneer drones provided aerial surveillance and guided the unmanned ground vehicles to identified targets, while the swarm provided reconnaissance. The entire operation was controlled by the so-called Mixed Swarm Operation Center.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis stage was one of the most important milestones we wanted to achieve in terms of digital forces and swarm technologies. In the future systems, we will continue to develop this ecosystem by working on different scenarios \u2014 scenarios where more unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned ground vehicles and swarm drones can be used, and where multiple drones can operate simultaneously,\u201d Nacar said.<\/p>\n

The company told Defense News that the Digital Troop\u2019s research and development phase began three years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2020, the design and development studies of the unmanned ground vehicle Barkan were conducted, the first power supply was provided and the first run was conducted at the end of the year. In the same year, the first design and development studies of the Baha sub-cloud unmanned aerial vehicle began, and the first test flight of Baha was conducted five months later,\u201d the firm said.<\/p>\n

Then in 2021, Havelsan launched field tests of its unmanned ground vehicle and drone swarm technologies, the company noted, while a task group worked on the subcloud drones in 2022.<\/p>\n

Havelsan declined to comment on upcoming developments, citing confidentiality.<\/p>\n

What is the Digital Troop effort?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Digital Troop concept aims to develop technologies that enable battlefield activities to take less time and be more effective. The idea consists of three main pillars:<\/p>\n
