ASELSAN is preparing to showcase its future-oriented national technologies at SAHA 2026 International Defense, Aerospace and Space Industry Fair, one of Türkiye’s most important gatherings in the fields of defense and advanced technology. Organized by SAHA Istanbul, the fair will take place at the Istanbul Expo Center on May 5-9. During the event, ASELSAN will introduce 5 new products and new versions of 6 existing systems to the global defense ecosystem.
At SAHA 2026, ASELSAN will focus particularly on components of ÇELİKKUBBE, Türkiye’s integrated air defense architecture. The company will present its nationally developed solutions across a wide range of domains, from the depths of the seas to the depths of space, to international delegations. Technologies that will provide new capabilities for ÇELİKKUBBE, new striking powers for the “Blue Homeland” and systems expected to create game-changing effects in air attack missions will be among the key highlights of the fair.
Among the systems ASELSAN will display at SAHA 2026 are the ALP Low Altitude Radar, GÜRZ Hybrid Air Defense System, KORKUT Air Defense System, EJDERHA Counter-UAV System, GÖKBERK Mobile Laser Weapon System and PUHU Electronic Warfare System. These solutions represent a broad capability portfolio ranging from air defense and electronic warfare to counter-UAV missions and laser weapon technologies. With these systems, ASELSAN aims to respond to rapidly evolving battlefield requirements through national engineering capabilities.
The company actively uses artificial intelligence across its research and development processes to create faster, smarter and more integrated systems. The innovative solutions to be unveiled at SAHA 2026 will reflect ASELSAN’s goal of not only meeting current operational needs, but also shaping the future concepts of defense and security. This approach enables national engineering power to be transferred to the field across many areas, including sensors, command and control systems, electronic warfare and air defense technologies.
ASELSAN will not only display its latest products at the fair, but will also recognize suppliers that contribute to the development of Türkiye’s domestic and national defense industry ecosystem. Companies that have achieved success in localization efforts will be awarded in categories such as the highest level of localization, highest export performance and highest added value creation. This step highlights ASELSAN’s approach of growing together with its supply chain and strengthening domestic production capacity at the ecosystem level.
SAHA 2026 will also serve as an important platform for ASELSAN to develop global partnerships and strategic cooperation. The company is expected to sign cooperation agreements with leading international defense industry actors and strengthen existing strategic partnerships during the fair. ASELSAN President and CEO Ahmet Akyol stated that SAHA 2026 will be one of the key milestones in the company’s journey to becoming a global brand, adding that important partnerships will be signed in line with ASELSAN’s export-oriented growth strategy.
According to Akyol, SAHA 2026 will be a powerful platform where Türkiye’s achievements in defense industry and advanced technologies will be presented to the world. He emphasized that ASELSAN will demonstrate the strength of national engineering in global competition through its launches at the fair. The company will introduce 5 new products and new versions of 6 existing products across 3 launch events. ASELSAN’s objective is to become not only a participant in the global technology league, but also a standard-setting and game-shaping brand with strengthened mass production capabilities.
ASELSAN’s presence at SAHA 2026 will carry Türkiye’s defense technology achievements and future vision to the international stage. With new product launches, ÇELİKKUBBE components, electronic warfare solutions, counter-UAV systems, air defense capabilities and global partnership initiatives, the fair will strengthen ASELSAN’s export-oriented growth vision. SAHA 2026 is expected to create a strategic opportunity for ASELSAN to present its national engineering power to the global market and open the door to new export destinations.
