National Defense Vision 2050 represents a strategic roadmap that sets out Turkey’s goal of building a long-term, sustainable, and indigenous-based defense architecture against evolving threat perceptions. At the core of this vision lies a fully independent defense industry, strong deterrence, and a military capacity that supports regional stability. With a holistic approach covering land, sea, air, space, and cyber domains, the vision aims to address not only today’s security needs but also the challenges of the future. National Defense Vision 2050 seeks to position Turkey as a globally influential actor in defense through technology-driven transformation, a qualified human resource base, and robust domestic production capabilities.

At a deeper level, the vision highlights artificial intelligence–supported systems, autonomous platforms, defense solutions against hypersonic threats, and advanced cyber security infrastructures. Swarm-capable unmanned systems, network-centric warfare concepts, and space-based early warning technologies are identified as key elements shaping the future battlefield. This strategic framework enhances the operational capabilities of the Turkish Armed Forces, while also fostering the integrated development of the defense industry ecosystem in cooperation with universities and the private sector. National Defense Vision 2050 offers a comprehensive future outlook that brings together technological sovereignty, strategic foresight, and national security awareness within a single framework.
