BREAKING NEWS
Türkiye is preparing to export not only a training jet, but also one of the key software systems that will support it operationally. HAVELSAN announced on April 21, 2026 that its Flight Mission Support and Planning System, known as FSGP, will be integrated into HÜRJET and exported to Spain together with the aircraft. That makes the development notable not just as a software sale, but as an example of mission-critical Turkish defense software entering the European market.
FSGP is not a new or experimental product. According to HAVELSAN, its development dates back to 2003 and it has been in active use since 2007, providing a national solution for the Turkish Air Force’s mission planning, mission evaluation, and post-mission assessment needs. The company says the system has already proven itself in the field and now serves as the main mission planning platform for the Turkish Air Force, bringing together different aircraft and munitions requirements under a single structure.
The HÜRJET integration is part of a wider effort to adapt FSGP to new-generation platforms. HAVELSAN said the system is expected to be brought online for HÜRJET in the near term, while integration work for the KAAN national combat aircraft is also continuing. The system includes capabilities such as smart weapon mission planning, mission debriefing support, UAV mission planning, and control station functions. HAVELSAN also says it addresses requirements tied to low observability, electromagnetic emission planning, infrared search and track, next-generation data links, and networked munitions.
The Spain dimension gives the project additional strategic importance. HAVELSAN stated that HÜRJET’s first export success has already been achieved through the agreement signed with Spain, with the aircraft planned to enter service in Türkiye in 2027 and in Spain in 2028. Under that framework, the mission planning system integrated into HÜRJET will also be exported to Spain. This means Türkiye is not only exporting an air platform, but also part of the digital mission ecosystem required to operate it effectively. This final sentence is an inference based on HAVELSAN’s export description of HÜRJET and FSGP together.
HAVELSAN’s role in the HÜRJET program goes beyond mission planning software. The company also said it is working intensively on a full mission and flight training simulator for HÜRJET, which is expected to be made ready for the Turkish Air Force this year and then exported to Spain together with the aircraft. Taken together, these elements show that the HÜRJET program is evolving into a broader export package that includes training, mission planning, and operational support capabilities alongside the aircraft itself. This final point is an inference based on HAVELSAN’s description of the simulator and FSGP export path.
