Songar, the first national armed drone system to be
developed by ASİSGUARD, has been delivered to the Turkish
Armed Forces (TAF) after the successful completion of
acceptance tests. Equipped with advanced features, Songar
will undertake critical tasks in operations conducted by
both TAF and the security forces.
Equipped with an automatic machine gun, Songar can carry out
operations within a 3-kilometre radius. The system can
transfer images in real time and carry 200 rounds of 5.56x45
mm NATO ammunition. The drone features a specially designed
flexible ammunition feed chute (ammunition belt) and an
automatic firing mechanism, and can operate at altitudes of
2,800 metres.
Stating that they have been working hard to develop the
system solutions required by Turkey and the rest of the
world, Ayhan Sunar, General Manager at ASİSGUARD, underlined
that the Songar system is currently unique, saying: “As one
of the most prominent drone systems in our product family,
Songar can undertake many critical tasks, including locating
the target area, eliminating the threat, transferring
real-time images and carrying out post-operation damage
assessment . It stands out as one of the leading national
capabilities in asymmetric warfare as a result of its firing
accuracy.”
Songar developed with unique systems
Launched for the first time at IDEF’19, Songar is undergoing
continuous improvement through intensive efforts. It has
achieved further success in field tests after the
integration of a grenade launcher in place of the machine
gun, and its firing precision has been significantly
improved with the inclusion of an “Electronic Sight and
Ballistic Calculation Module”, specially designed by
ASİSGUARD
TM. National and international patent applications
have been made for Songar's unique stabilisation system.

software in for military land vehicle electronics;
