The Turkish Gendarmerie General Command exhibited its newest operational technologies at the 17th International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF 2025) in Istanbul. Hosted by the Ministry of National Defense, the event featured advanced innovations that enhance the Gendarmerie’s field capabilities and safety. Among the showcased systems were the four-legged robot, Vehicle Driver Analysis System (ASAS), and the Karagöz mobile facial-recognition body camera.
Major Mehmet Çakır, serving at the Gendarmerie Logistics Command, explained that four-legged robots offer superior maneuverability and obstacle-crossing ability compared to traditional wheeled vehicles. These robots are employed in so-called “3D” (Dirty, Dangerous, Dull) missions — tasks that are risky, repetitive, or unsanitary for human personnel. Çakır emphasized that by introducing these autonomous robotic systems, the Gendarmerie is keeping pace with global trends in robotics and increasing operational efficiency and safety in the field.
First Lieutenant Mehmet Gencer detailed the ASAS (Driver Analysis System), which enables real-time monitoring and management of vehicles, personnel, and critical equipment from a central command center. The system tracks driver behavior, ensures traffic compliance, and can even assist in canine search operations by mapping covered and uncovered areas. Gencer stated, “This system enhances transparency during judicial procedures involving suspects. Cameras and tracking devices allow us to document operations accurately, ensuring the safety of both personnel and citizens.” Currently deployed in 28 provinces, ASAS is planned for nationwide rollout.
Sergeant Major Hilal Adaş Saruhan introduced the Karagöz body camera, highlighting its integrated audio-video recording, facial recognition, and identity verification capabilities. The camera automatically alerts the operator if a scanned individual has an active warrant and displays detailed information in real time. “We use this system not only during judicial duties but also in large gatherings such as concerts and festivals,” Saruhan noted. “It increases public trust and strengthens transparency.”
The Gendarmerie’s participation at IDEF 2025 illustrates Türkiye’s growing expertise in digital policing and public security technologies. By integrating artificial intelligence, advanced sensors, and robotics into daily operations, the Turkish Gendarmerie is setting new standards in smart law enforcement and field management.
