Turkish MAM-T munition developed for UAVs acquires "combat-proven" status PHOTO/VIDEO

The MAM-T smart munitions developed by Roketsan using national resources have been proven effective on the battlefield. MAM-T, used in AKINCI UAV, has been widely used in recent operations.

The first firing test of MAM-T mini-smart munitions, developed by Roketsan specifically for armed drone platforms based on TEBER-81 aerial bombs, was developed by Bayraktar in April 2021.

According to information, the MAM-T has received "combat-proven" status due to its use in cross-border air operations.

The MAM-T, which weighs four times more than the MAM-L munition used by Turkish UAVs and exported to more than 40 countries, can inflict much more devastating damage on a target with an equivalent Mk81 warhead. The 230mm diameter MAM-T munition has a range of 30 to 80 kilometres, depending on the speed and altitude of the firing platform.

There is more news on the MAM-T munition, which uses GPS/INS in the intermediate stage and a laser homer in the final stage. The first firing test of the MAM-T munition with infrared IIR has been successful. Thanks to the IIR, the MAM-T will be able to fight without the need for the operator to constantly mark the target with a laser.

On the other hand, the MAM-T, which has a bidirectional data link, will be able to respond more accurately to target information updates due to its Human-in-the-Loop capability. Also, the MAM-T will be able to transmit an image of the target with sufficient resolution to the operations centre for damage assessment even before the explosion.

Innovations in MAM-T are not limited to the integration of the IIR. As part of a further expansion of MAM-T IIR munitions capabilities, the first flight test of the DUAL SEEKER (IIR+TV-enabled homing head) is scheduled to begin in 2024.

The MAM-L IIR and MAM-T IIR, whose rapid integration of UAVs with the existing MAM infrastructure continues, are planned to enter service in 2024.
