MESAN introduced its mine detector and mine detection robot at SAHA 2026 International Defense, Aviation and Space Industry Fair. These technologies, developed for field security and hazardous area clearance operations, place personnel safety at the forefront of their design. MESAN Board Chairman Devrim Erol stated that these long-developed systems were being presented publicly at this scale for the first time, noting that the company highlighted three products this year.

The MEDAS mine and improvised explosive device detector is built on an innovative technology platform. The system successfully performs target detection even in challenging soil conditions. Erol noted that initial design work conducted between 2020 and 2022 remained at the theoretical level; however, comprehensive research and development efforts launched from 2023 onward required significant investments and effort. Today, MEDAS provides operators with distinct advantages in both safety and operational speed through its capability to detect targets of varying characteristics. The system has been field-tested and refined based on user feedback; the primary objective is to reduce false alarm rates while improving detection success.

The MEROB mine detection robot was developed as a solution that prioritizes personnel safety in high-risk areas. MESAN created this platform through collaboration with robotics sector leaders. MEROB is a remotely controlled system with autonomous capabilities that can detect mines and explosives through integrated sensors. The system enables operators to conduct missions without entering dangerous zones directly. As the importance of robotic systems in field operations continues to grow, MEROB represents a concrete product of an approach that avoids putting personnel at risk.

Within the scope of civilian applications, the MEDAR TD traffic control unit was also presented at the fair. This system enables more effective management of traffic and passage control in the field. Designed for both military and civilian use scenarios, MEDAR TD stands out through its rapid deployment capability and ease of use. The system detects vehicles passing through the area and transmits data to central systems, enabling desired analyses to be performed.

Erol emphasized that listening to field requirements is the greatest strength in product development processes. All developed systems are designed to address real operational needs and therefore find acceptance in the field. MESAN has conducted exports to 13 countries over the past three years and held significant partnership discussions during SAHA 2026 for new collaborations both domestically and internationally.
