The Bayraktar Mini UAV is a mini class unmanned aerial vehicle produced by Turkish manufacturer Baykar (short of Bayraktar Brothers). 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. .[1]
