Development
With the concept of short range day and night aerial reconnaissance and surveillance applications, system design activities started within 2004. Initial prototype Bayraktar A has been developed in 2005, and following successful autonomous flight demonstrations, Baykar has been awarded with a contract to start serial production. After hundreds of trials and feed backs, system was subject to major modifications. As a result, Bayraktar B Mini UAV Systems fielded and became operational in 2007 to serve initially for Turkish Armed Forces. Due to its success in the region, the system was purchased by the Qatar Armed Forces in 2012.
