The Marlin armed unmanned surface vessel (USV) jointly developed by Turkey’s Aselsan and Selfine Shipyard successfully fired a Kuzgun-KY solid fuel surface-to-surface missile (SSM) for the first time, Ä°smail Demir, head of the Turkish Presidency of Defence Industries (Savunma Sanayii BaÅŸkanlığı: SSB), announced.
During the firing test, which was conducted in the Gulf of Saros and attended by the SSB and Turkish navy officials, the missile was fired by remote control from a mission control station located on land, according to video imagery published by Demir on his official twitter page on 28 March.
The Marlin armed USV programme was first announced by Sefine Shipyard in July 2021, and in September 2022, the USV took part in NATO’s Exercise ‘Dynamic Messenger’ in Portugal with an electronic warfare (EW) payload.
