Iran’s missile and drone attacks on critical Gulf infrastructure exposed fresh gaps in regional air defense. Analysts believe Turkish defense systems could draw greater interest in the post-crisis period.

The MARLIN unmanned surface vessel, developed by SEFİNE and ASELSAN, was tested with Kraken Robotics’ KATFISH synthetic aperture sonar system off Istanbul, focusing on the detection and classification of mine-like underwater targets.

ASELSAN’s SARP 100/25L remote controlled stabilized weapon system stands out in modern land warfare with on-the-move accuracy, day-and-night vision, and automatic target tracking.

The US Space Force has awarded L3Harris a $150 million MOSSAIC contract to sustain and modernize critical ground systems supporting space domain awareness.

ASELSAN’s KARAT system is set to enhance KIZILELMA with passive target detection and tracking capability, while also strengthening KAAN’s future air-to-air situational awareness.

Ukraine’s Air Assault Forces are testing AI-assisted exoskeletons in combat and logistics roles. The systems are reported to reduce soldiers’ physical load by around 30 percent.

Chinese researchers have introduced an open-source flight control system designed for bamboo-frame UAVs, overcoming low-frequency vibration issues that previously limited their practical use.

Integrated with the Bayraktar TB2, the SPPOD-L self-protection pod successfully completed flare firing tests, giving the UAV an active defence capability against infrared-guided missile threats.
