Italian jets fly with Turkish drones in K-SWARM live trial
Leonardo and Baykar have completed the first phase of live testing for their K-SWARM programme, with Italian M-346 jets and the Turkish-built Bayraktar KIZILELMA uncrewed fighter aircraft flying joint autonomous formations over Turkey, the companies stated. The trials, conducted in May at one of Baykar’s flight and test centres in Çorlu, marked the transition of the K-SWARM effort from simulation to live operations. K-SWARM is aimed at designing…
Leonardo and Baykar test M-346 and KIZILELMA teaming in first live K-SWARM autonomous formation flights
The K-SWARM programme is aimed at designing and developing interoperability between crewed and uncrewed aircraft. Leonardo and Baykar said the trials assessed and validated collaborative and coordinated operations using advanced next-generation algorithms. The testing took place in May at one of Baykar’s flight and test centres in Çorlu, Türkiye. The flight campaign involved a Leonardo-owned M-346 Fighter Attack Variant, an Italian Air Force T-3…
Baykar and Leonardo have successfully completed the first manned-unmanned flight test in the K-SWARM program, which is being developed for future air combat concepts. The tests, conducted in Çorlu, verified the coordination capabilities between the Bayraktar KIZILELMA and M-346 platforms in the field.
