In line with our vision to be one of the leading UAV companies globally and thanks to our extensive knowledge and expertise gained over decades, we have designed, developed and manufactured indigenous UAV Systems in wide range of categories; ARI (Micro), EFE (Mini), BORA (Small) and KARAYEL (Tactical).

UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE SYSTEMS

State-of-the-art KARAYEL UAV System is an autonomous reconnaissance and surveillance platform and is the first Tactical UAV System designed to be compatible and manufactured in accordance with NATO ‘Airworthiness’ standard; STANAG 4671. KARAYEL UAV System has novel triple redundant distributed avionics architecture, which ensures protection against all kind of uncontrolled single point failure/crash. Therefore, Lentatek has carried systematic fault safety used only in manned aviation in the world until now to an unmanned aerial vehicle for the first time with KARAYEL. KARAYEL has lightning protection thanks to the aluminum network grid on its composite structure. ‘Pneumatic De-Icing System’ which automatically detects icing conditions and activates carries KARAYEL one step further in terms of operations in critical climates. KARAYEL, which is an aerial reconnaissance and surveillance platform, can perform target pointing, lighting and ammunition direction with day/night target detection and identification by its EO/IR camera payload system.

We have not only been developing software for ground and air systems indigenously at Lentatek’s Technology Center of Excellence (TCE) also we have been designing UAV Systems capable to operate in different speeds and altitudes with various payload systems, in accordance with STANAG-4671 “Airworthiness Requirements”. All UAV Systems have been designed, developed and manufactured indigenously in house including but not limited to the structural and aerodynamic design work, the autopilot system, the central control, the computer including the ground control station, the design works of all avionics, all software developments and system productions.

��KARAYEL DEMO (2007-2009)

In 2007, development activities of KARAYEL demonstration version has started. KARAYEL Demo version has indigenously designed and developed autopilot system with fully autonomous take-off, flight and landing capabilities. Triple redundant critical flight systems of today’s advanced KARAYEL has been also firstly tested in the KARAYEL demo version. System has designed and manufactured in accordance with “NATO STANAG 4671” Airworthiness Requirements to ensure system reliability. KARAYEL Demo UAS (including indigenously manufactured ground control station), has joined our UAV product range as the pioneer of our UAV systems.
