15 m armed Turkish USV from Dearsan, offered in attack and surveillance versions.
The USV 15 is an armed uncrewed boat from Istanbul's Dearsan Shipyard, one of several Turkish naval drones developed in the early 2020s. The 15-metre composite craft reaches 50 knots on two waterjets and, in its attack version, carries a stabilised heavy machine gun and a turret for Roketsan's laser-guided Cirit and L-UMTAS missiles. A surveillance version swaps weapons for sensors. The prototype was launched in January 2022 and shown at DIMDEX in Qatar that year.

Примечания
Dearsan's datasheet gives a 14.79 m length, 3.83 m beam, 0.75 m draft, a 50 kn top speed and a 300 nmi range at economic speed (converted to km), with twin diesels and waterjets on a composite hull. The attack variant carries a stabilised 12.7 mm machine gun and a turret for laser-guided Cirit and L-UMTAS missiles; sensors include EO, radar, AIS and four 360-degree thermal cameras. A 15 m surveillance version and two 11 m versions were also planned. First shown publicly at DIMDEX 2022.
