Kargu (e8e0cc43-8c28-50e5-8184-4366724b9e1b)
The KARGU is a lightweight (≈ 7 kg), electric‑powered, rotary‑wing loitering‑munition UAV developed by Turkey’s STM. Designed for rapid, man‑portable deployment (under 1 minute), it provides both ISR and precision‑strike capabilities for dismounted troops. With a 30‑minute endurance, 10 km operational radius and a top speed of 72 km/h, the system can engage personnel or lightly armored targets using interchangeable anti‑personnel or armor‑piercing warheads. Its autonomous flight‑control suite supports GNSS‑denied operations, dive‑attack profiles, and swarm‑intelligence coordination, while a dual‑sensor EO/IR payload (10× optical zoom) enables day‑ and night‑time target acquisition. Currently fielded by the Turkish Armed Forces, KARGU has secured multiple export contracts, underscoring its growing role in tactical UAV arsenals.
