Albatros-S is a Turkish unmanned surface vessel (USV) swarm of the Turkish Navy developed by the Turkish defense company Aselsan.[1]
The USV Albatros-S (Turkish: İnsansız Deniz Aracı, İDA) was developed by the Turkish state-owned defense company Aselsan for the needs of the Turkish Naval Forces. The USV can attack targets in swarm of eight.[1]
In October 2023, a test firing was carried out off Mersin coast in the Mediterranean Sea, at which the target was destroyed when the explosive of Roketsan contained in the USV hit the target on the sea at a high speed and detonated, in the role of a suicide attack (Kamikaze) craft.[1]
