Çivi is an FPV kamikaze drone system designed to overcome the line-of-sight limitations of conventional FPV platforms. It uses the DELİCAN UAV as its primary carrier and an airborne communications relay, enabling uninterrupted command and control and high-precision strike capability at ranges exceeding 20 km. The system maintains mission effectiveness in heavily contested electronic warfare and jamming environments. Advanced navigation and control algorithms allow autonomous deployment to the operational area without operator intervention.
The DELİCAN operator can monitor Çivi’s position, system parameters, and distance to the target in real time. The Çivi operator can process imagery transmitted from DELİCAN to conduct target analysis. Electro-optical and thermal imaging systems provide day and night target acquisition. AI-based image processing supplies target detection, tracking, and identification, and precision engagement remains under operator control.
Çivi can be equipped with multiple warhead configurations for different mission profiles. An integrated proximity sensor provides a selectable triggering distance of 3 to 30 meters, enabling controlled detonation at the selected distance.
Mission-abort behavior is designed to minimize operator cognitive load. During a terminal-phase abort, the system performs an automated mission-termination maneuver and enters HANG mode, allowing the operator to regain control. Autonomous maneuvering algorithms also enable safe return or controlled self-neutralization.
