Overview
ALPAR is Otokar's company-funded tracked unmanned ground vehicle demonstrator, unveiled on 13 July 2023 at up to 15,000kg gross vehicle weight (base weight approximately 12,000kg) with a 3000kg payload capacity. It is powered by a series hybrid electric drivetrain combining two 80kW motors at 630V, two 69kW Li-ion NMC battery packs and a 180kW diesel range extender, giving a top speed above 70km/h and a 0.45m ground clearance. Published range figures conflict: one source states 500km, another states 550km plus a further 50km in silent, battery-only mode; no single range figure is used for this record. ALPAR runs semi-autonomously with waypoint, convoy, follow-me and return-home modes, and a 5km control range, using 4x 3D LIDAR units, 2x radar and 360-degree day/night cameras for perception. The platform has been displayed in at least four different armament configurations across shows, including a 25mm dual-feed cannon with 7.62mm coaxial gun and two Roketsan UMTAS anti-tank guided missiles, and separately a 30mm cannon with two ATGMs; no single main armament is set for this record. As of this writing, no confirmed Turkish Army contract has been reported.

Full specifications
Performance
Speed, range, altitude and engagement capability.
| Max speed Maximum level speed. For aircraft this is at optimal altitude; for ground vehicles, top road speed. Higher means faster response and better kinematic performance. | 70 km/h |
|---|
Physical
Dimensions, weight and crew.
| Length Overall length including gun/probe where applicable. | 6.25 m |
|---|---|
| Width Overall width, matters for rail/road transport of vehicles. | 2.75 m |
| Height Overall height. Lower profile is harder to spot and hit for ground vehicles. | 1.5 m |
| Combat weight Fully loaded weight. Lighter eases transport and bridging limits; heavier often means more armor. | 15,000 kg |
| Crew Personnel required to operate. Fewer reduces exposure; autoloaders trade a loader for mechanical complexity. | 0 |
| Cargo payload Maximum cargo the transport can carry. Higher means more lift per sortie. On an unmanned ground vehicle, this is the maximum mission payload the platform carries, including a weapon station. | 3,000 kg |
Propulsion
Engine, power and fuel.
| Propulsion type Turbofan, turboshaft, diesel, gas turbine, solid-fuel rocket, ramjet… | Series hybrid electric (2x 80kW motors at 630V, 2x 69kW Li-ion NMC battery packs, 180kW diesel range extender) |

Sensors & avionics
Radar, sensor suite and datalinks.
| Sensors IRST, EO/IR turrets, laser designators, sniper pods, thermal sights. | 4x 3D LIDAR, 2x radar, 360-degree day/night cameras |

Autonomy & control
How the platform moves, how much it does without an operator, and how far the control link reaches.
| Locomotion How the platform moves: tracked, wheeled or legged. Tracks suit soft ground and heavy payloads, wheels favor road speed and range, legs handle stairs and rubble. Not a ranking, a trade-off. | Tracked |
|---|---|
| Autonomy level How much the platform does without an operator, as the manufacturer describes it. Vendors do not use a common standard, so this is a coarse editorial bucket, not a certified rating. | Semi-autonomous |
| Control range Maximum published operator-to-vehicle control-link distance, normally line-of-sight radio. Higher keeps the operator further from the threat. This is NOT the vehicle's driving range. | 5 km |
