Turkish defense industry is set to enter a new phase in 2026 with mass production of domestically developed unmanned aerial vehicles. Titra Technology aims to expand inventory numbers and boost exports with high-capacity UAV platforms.

Launched from TCG Anadolu, the Bayraktar TB3 successfully guided ASELSAN’s Albatros-S USV to destroy its target, while all additional strike missions were completed with full accuracy.

In a coordinated test, Bayraktar TB3, Bayraktar KIZILELMA and Bayraktar AKINCI took off one after another, successfully demonstrating strike, maneuver and operational sortie capabilities.

Under a new agreement between HAVELSAN and Egypt’s Arab Organization for Industrialization (AOI), joint production of vertical take-off UAVs and unmanned ground vehicles has officially begun in Egypt — marking a strategic milestone in Turkey-Egypt defense cooperation.

The visit of Japan’s Defense Minister Gen Nakatani to Türkiye marks the start of a new phase in bilateral defense cooperation, with joint opportunities emerging in UAVs, HÜRJET, and AKSUNGUR platforms under a win-win framework.

HAVELSAN’s VTOL-capable BAHA, BOZBEY, and BULUT UAVs completed integration tests with ships and USVs; the first deployment will be on Malaysia’s new 99-meter multipurpose vessel.

Büyütech and Titra Teknoloji signed a strategic agreement at IDEF 2025 to integrate locally developed, high-performance camera systems into Türkiye’s UAVs and unmanned helicopters.

At IDEF 2025, STM introduced the BOYGA-B multi-munition UAV and the TUNGA Smart Ammunition System, designed to enhance Türkiye’s precision strike and tactical air capabilities.
