DUMRUL and ALPIN: Advanced rotary-wing UAVs

DUMRUL is an electrically powered, silent helicopter with a takeoff weight of 17–18 kilograms and an endurance of up to 30 minutes. Designed for close-range surveillance, the UAV is equipped with integrated imaging systems and weapons, enabling effective engagement with targets. Developed to meet operational requirements, DUMRUL is being prepared for its first mission.

ALPIN, Türkiye’s first indigenous unmanned helicopter, has a flight endurance of up to nine hours, thanks to its extended fuel tank. With a payload capacity exceeding 200 kilograms, it supports both military and civilian applications by facilitating the secure transport of equipment and supplies.

ALPIN is capable of fully autonomous takeoff and landing as well as executing pre-programmed missions. It has already entered service with Türkiye’s security forces.
