Im a fan of the Global Hawk,we should have some of those babbies.
I hope Turkey is a partner of this Euro Hawk program,or will become one.

TAI has partnered with Cassidian (Military branch of EADS which is the licence manufacturer of Global Hawk from Northrop Grumman), with the Talarion UAV programme.

Turkish Aerospace Industries and Cassidian sign Talarion UAV deal

May 11, 2011

Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc. (TUSAS) and German Cassidian signed a cooperation protocol for the development, production and marketing of the unmanned aerial vehicle “Talarion” in Istanbul on Wednesday.

The protocol was signed on the sidelines of the 10th International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF’11) in Istanbul.

Talarion is an advanced twin-jet unmanned air vehicle (UAV) system developed by EADS to meet the requirements of France, Germany and Spain for a fully autonomous Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) airborne platform. The program was officially launched at the Paris Air Show on June 15, 2009. The UAV prototype is expected to take to the air for the first time in 2013 with first production series deliveries in 2015.

Each Talarion system consists of three UAVs fitted with a modular sensor/payload plus a ground control station. Military customers will get unlimited control of their missions and the data obtained therein. France and Germany will receive six systems each with 18 UAVs while Spain would order three systems with nine UAVs.

Ty for the info Fuzili,but is it similar to the Hawk?
Or is it smaller?
Same capabilities?
Cant find any specs.

Yeah, sry bro! There are no detailed specs of the aircraft yet.

The only things clear so far, is that it's a MALE UAV and it has a wingspan of 27,90m, whereas the EuroHawk is a HALE class and I believe it has the same dimentions as the
Northrop Grumman GlobalHawk (wingspan 35.41m).

So, they are completely different, but there is a chance of gaining some expertise and know-how from this cooperation.

ty for the info,and yes the right way to go.
Maybe in the future we see a Turkish Hawk.

I still cant post links but you should google EADS TALARION,and read the piece about TAI beeing the only European country to have developed and succesfully tested a (MALE )UAV of its own and accordingly has gained significant experience with the development of larger long endurance UAV platforms.
They are refering to the TAI ANKA.
So this means they need us to develope the TALARION.
This only shows that they stayed where they were and we moved on.
One can only laugh about this.

There's a new interview I just posted today about Talarion
