The man behind the development of the Turkish drone industry, Ozdemir Bayraktar planted the seeds of the country’s success 20 years ago.
The Bayraktar AKINCI UCAV, an original aircraft indigenously developed by Baykar, successfully passed a series of firing tests against moving and fixed targets at sea. Bayraktar AKINCI destroyed its naval targets with its indigenous electro-optical system and indigenous mini smart munitions.
Baykar, which has been Türkiye’s leading defense and aerospace exporter for the last three years, became one of the country’s top 10 exporters across all sectors in 2023. This achievement marked the first time in Turkish history that a defense and aerospace company ranked among the top ten exporters
