The TAI Anka is a family of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries for the requirements of the Turkish Armed Forces. Basic Anka-A is classified as a Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) UAV. Envisioned in the early 2000s for tactical surveillance and reconnaissance missions, the Anka has made progress towards the integration of Synthetic aperture radar and combat systems. The drone is named after a phoenix-like mythological creature called ''Zümrüd-ü Anka'' (alternatively called ''Anka kuşu'' (Anka bird) in Turkish.) ==Design== The TUAV system consists of three air vehicles (A/V), Ground Control Station (GCS), Ground Data Terminal (GDT), Automatic Take-off and Landing System (ATOLS), Transportable Image Exploitation System (TIES), Remote Video Terminal (RVT) and various Ground Support Equipment (GSE). The TUAV system, which is designed for night and day missions including adverse weather conditions, performs real-time image intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, moving/stationery target detection, recognition, identification and tracking missions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.trdefence.com/?p=1121 )〕 While the TIHA system has an open architecture to support other potential payloads and missions, within the context of the existing project the air vehicle is configured to carry the following payloads onboard:〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tai.com.tr/prog.aspx?contentDefID=8&page=___Programs__NONE_____INTEGRATED%20AIRCRAFT%20SYSTEMS__NONE_____DESIGN%20&%20DEVELOPMENT%20PROGRAMS__NONE_____UAV%20PROGRAMS__NONE_____STRATEGIC%20UAV__NONE_____MALE%20UAV-TIHA__PROGRAM__8 )〕 * Electro-optic Color Day Camera (EO Day TV) * Electro-optic/Forward Looking Infrared/Laser Range Finder/Laser Designator and Spotter Camera (EO/FLIR/LRF/LDS) * Synthetic Aperture Radar/Ground Moving Target Indicator (SAR/GMTI) * Inverse SAR (ISAR) The whole composite airframe is composed of a monoblock fuselage, detachable wing and V-Tail, retractable landing gear, redundant control surfaces, avionics and payload bays and service doors. The sandwich skin structure is reinforced by composite or metallic frames, ribs and supports. Propelled by a pusher type heavy fuel engine, the aircraft is furnished with fuselage fuel tanks and fuel system, ice protection system, environmental control system, lighting system, redundant electrical system with battery backup and harness system. The platform is also equipped with a digital flight control system, electro-mechanical actuators, and flight control sensor systems such as GPS, pitot-static, air data computer, navigation sensor, transducers, temperature, pressure, displacement sensors, etc.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://rockwellcollins.com/sitecore/content/Data/News/2011_Cal_Yr/GS/FY11GSNR22-TAI_release.aspx )〕 Various tasks are distributed along flight management computers and auxiliary control boxes. Identification and communication units and interface computers are employed in order to establish real time wide band communication and provide test and diagnostics functions. An air traffic radio is also integrated in the communication system for the integration of the aircraft into the civilian airspace. All flight critical equipment are dual or triple redundant and emergency modes of operational scenarios are taken into consideration for fail safe design. All airborne and ground based flight control software is developed by TAI while payload hardware and software items are aimed to be developed by national sub-contractors, such as Aselsan and Milsoft. UAV operations are supported by highly sophisticated ground control system with complete redundancy, developed by a domestic defence company Savronik.〔(Unmanned Air Vehicle Ground Control Station Shelter ), ''Savronik''. Retrieved 1 July 2011.〕 Whole mission segments of the air vehicle can be managed, monitored and controlled by a GCS. A pre-programmed mission plan can be loaded before the flight begins or can be altered during the flight. All the imagery stream of the payloads can be displayed and recorded in real time and all the payloads can be controlled from the GCS. ATOLS allows the air vehicle to perform its operation without operator intervention, including the most critical phases which are landing and take-off. In TIES, valuable intelligence information can be obtained by the analysis of bulky imagery data. TIES operators can initiate intelligence missions prior to or during flight. Refined information flows to the upper command layer in order to assist the headquarters to monitor a network of TUAV systems and benefit from the gathered intelligence information. Another interface of the TUAV system is the RVT, with which other friendly units who are close to the target area can utilize the real time imagery that TUAV air vehicle broadcasts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TAI Anka」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
