The Turkish Ministry of National Defense announced the delivery of the final batch of the indigenous and national Precision Guidance Kit-82 (HGK-82). Produced with technical support from TÜBİTAK SAGE, these kits mark a new era in Turkey's air power, enhancing its capabilities in the skies.
Turkey's air defense capability has taken a new turn with the successful launch of the Gökdoğan missile from an F-16 aircraft. This significant development demonstrates the country's determination to create indigenous solutions for its long-range air defense needs. The Gökdoğan and Bozdoğan missiles are reducing Turkey's dependency on the USA, propelling the nation forward as a significant player in the global air defense industry.
The Defense Industry Research and Development Institute of TÜBİTAK continues its work on new air-to-air missiles for the Akıncı UCAV. These developments signify significant strides in Turkey's defense technology, positioning the nation prominently in the international defense arena. The indigenous development of these technologies not only strengthens Turkey's military capabilities but also bolsters the civilian sector.
In a landmark achievement for Turkey's defense industry, the national and indigenous combat management system MÜREN, integrated with the AKYA torpedo, was successfully launched from the TCG Preveze submarine. This historic launch, attended by the Minister of National Defense Hulusi Akar, propels Turkey into the ranks of global leaders in submarine technologies and marks the commencement of a new era in international defense.
TÜBİTAK SAGE continues to fortify its leading position in Turkey's defense industry. According to statements by the Institute Director, Gürcan Okumuş, on TRT News, the institution is making significant strides towards 2023 with key projects. Advances in domestic munitions development and testing infrastructures are enhancing Turkey's technological proficiency and independence.
A project supported by TÜBİTAK and conducted by the Engineering Faculty at Mersin University (MEU) is underway, aiming to produce domestic steel fasteners for use in the defense industry.
Turkey's national fighter jet, KAAN, is set to achieve radar invisibility thanks to critical technologies developed by TÜBİTAK.
