SSB President Haluk Görgün described LBA Systems, introduced at the Paris Airshow, as a milestone in high-tech cooperation; the Baykar–Leonardo joint venture will focus on UAV design, production, and maintenance.

Baykar’s next-generation AI-powered UAV, the Bayraktar TB2T-AI, climbed to 37,096 feet during a test flight in Keşan, surpassing its previous record of 30,318 feet set in February 2025, and proving its high-altitude endurance capability.

Baykar and Italy’s defense giant Leonardo officially exchanged documents for their strategic cooperation agreement during the Turkey–Italy Intergovernmental Summit in Rome. The partnership aims to establish a joint venture focused on the European UAV market and integrated defense technologies.

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.

Bayraktar TB3 successfully hit a 6x6 meter sea target from over 50 kilometers away in its first firing test with Roketsan’s IHA-122 Supersonic Missile, coordinated with Bayraktar TB2 for laser designation.

Turkey’s Baykar and Italy’s Leonardo have signed a five-year partnership agreement in Rome to co-develop and co-produce unmanned aerial systems. The deal includes joint production in Turkey and Italy, leveraging European certification and market access advantages.

Developed by Asisguard, the 3.5 kg indigenous gimbal features a cooled thermal camera, 30x optical zoom, and advanced stabilization, offering UAVs superior day-night imaging performance.

Baykar’s new turbo-powered, AI-integrated Bayraktar TB2T-AI UAV successfully completed flight tests, surpassing 30,000 feet and setting a new altitude record.
