The Malaman smart bottom mine and Uça guided smart bomb will use acoustic, magnetic and pressure sensors to detect and classify targets.
An important protocol on the serial production of Malaman smart bottom mines and development of the Uça air-launched guided mine was signed on 26 July, during the IDEF exhibition in İstanbul.
