Descripción general
ASELSAN's high-speed catamaran target drone, used by the Turkish Navy for gunnery and missile training.
ALBATROS-K is a high-speed catamaran uncrewed surface vessel from Turkey's ASELSAN, built to serve as a realistic moving target for naval gunnery, close-in weapon systems, and guided-missile firings. Around 10 to 16 m long with a 4.5 m beam and twin diesels, it reaches about 35 knots and can follow pre-set manoeuvres autonomously, semi-autonomously, or under remote control. It entered Turkish Navy service in 2017 and is the target member of ASELSAN's Albatros family, separate from the swarm-capable ALBATROS-S.
