The autonomous unmanned ground vehicle BARKAN-2 has been integrated with loitering munition, also called "kamikaze drones." With the integration of loitering munition, BARKAN-2 has become the first in its class.

HAVELSAN, which delivered BARKAN to the security forces, continues to work on equipping the unmanned autonomous ground vehicle with new capabilities. While ROKETSAN's Laser Guided Mini Missile System METE was fired from the BARKAN-1 UGV on January 8, 2023, this time on October 12, 2023, the first loitering munition firing was performed from BARKAN-2.
