BOYGA, Autonomous Multi-Rotor Combat UAV with Mortar Payload
The BOYGA project, carried out under the coordination of the Presidency of Defense Industries, was first introduced at the 15th International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF’21)
UAV BOYGA successfully carried out its first firing test in September 2021 in cooperation with STM and MKE.
The munition system integration of BOYGA is carried out by Makine ve Kimya Endüstrisi INC.
BOYGA successfully completed the acceptance tests in June 2022 and was handed over to the Turkish security forces.
With a maximum take-off weight of 17 kilograms, BOYGA can stay in the air for 30 minutes with 1 piece of 81 mm mortar ammunition.
BOYGA can drop 81 mm mortar payload on the target thanks to the developed ballistic estimation algorithm within the planned mission through the Ground Control Station.
BOYGA’s ammunition was adapted to the release mechanism.
