Turkey’s most advanced unmanned surface vessel, ULAQ, will be delivered to the Turkish Navy in May. Already in operational use with Qatar’s Coast Guard, ULAQ is the world’s first USV with a signed export contract and will play a key role in Turkey’s “Blue Homeland” doctrine across multiple naval missions.

Bayraktar TB3, the world’s first UAV capable of taking off and landing on a short-deck ship, successfully conducted four autonomous sorties on the Turkish flagship TCG Anadolu on April 22, 2025. The tests were completed without any landing assistance, using advanced AI algorithms developed by Baykar.

Turkey’s HAVELSAN has achieved a new global milestone with its domestically developed ADVENT Combat Management System, now operational in four continents following its export to the Chilean Navy. Experts note that only a handful of countries can produce a comparable system.

Turkey will donate the Doğan-class fast attack craft TCG Volkan to the Maldives. After maintenance and training phases, the vessel will be transferred and commissioned by mid-2025 to enhance the Maldives’ maritime defense capabilities.

ASELSAN has signed export contracts worth $52.7 million with a client in the Pacific region for the direct sale of radar, weapon, air defense, and data link systems designed for naval platforms. The deal strengthens ASELSAN’s global presence in maritime defense technologies.

Turkish Naval Air Command’s maritime patrol aircraft continue their reconnaissance and surveillance missions across the Black Sea and other Blue Homeland zones throughout the Ramadan Bayram without interruption.

HAVELSAN signed an agreement with the Chilean Navy to integrate the ADVENT Combat Management System into two frigates. The four-year modernization project makes Chile the 9th country to adopt ADVENT.
