Is the no. 31 on the bow new? At least in the other images below it is missing.
Turkey has a concept for launching USVs up to 15 m in length from LHDs and large supply ships. In fact it already has a USV (RD-09) that is designed and in the prototype stage. Turkey has been quite vocal about its capabilities and has been quite successful in unmanned systems. There is no reason to think the USA, China and the UK are missing on this concept.What do people think about the possibility of using these to launch UUVs and/or USVs?
Quite a few things possible to do with them: remote stealthy ASM launchers, ASW, communication beacons, etc.
Sorry, that looks like a fairly small scale model in a pool, backed by CGI that would have been cutting edge 5-10 years ago.Turkey has a concept for launching USVs up to 15 m in length from LHDs and large supply ships.
