Baykar and Leonardo The cooperation agreement between the two giant companies marks a significant turning point in the defense sector. Leonardo's high-tech sensors and electronic systems based in Italy Baykar's To SİHA platforms came together to integrate. This collaboration will have a major impact not only for the future of Türkiye's defense technologies, but also for competition in the global defense market. In this article, we will take a closer look at the details and possible impacts of the collaboration between Baykar and Leonardo.
Fundamentals of Baykar and Leonardo Collaboration
One of the leading companies in Italy's defense industry Leonardo, one of Türkiye's most important defense industry manufacturers Baykur signed a major collaboration with. This collaboration is particularly Baykar's SİHAs (Armed Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) It aims to integrate extremely important sensors and electronic systems. Leonardo CEO Roberto Cingolani, the company of this agreement Britestorm Electronic Warfare System, Gabbiano X-Band Radar ve Skyward Infrared Search and Track System announced that it includes integrating advanced technology products such as these into Baykar.
This development Baykar UAVs has the potential to significantly improve performance. These new sensors and systems To enable UCAVs to perform their duties more efficiently, sensitively and effectively. In this way, BaykurThe operational capabilities of the unmanned aerial vehicles produced by will be taken to a much more advanced level. Thanks to this cooperation, Cingolani Leonardo and Baykar partnership aims to generate 2029 million Euros in revenue by 600 He explained.
Emphasis on Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Technology
Baykar Chairman of the Board Selcuk Bayraktar, in his statement regarding this strategic cooperation, especially yapay zeka He drew attention to the importance of supported technologies. Bayraktar said that Baykar's artificial intelligence-based systems, By combining Leonardo's advanced technologies, next-generation solutions will shape the future of unmanned aerial systems. He stated that this synergy will develop the goal of achieving future air superiority with artificial intelligence-enabled technologies It was emphasized that it would be a critical step in this direction.
Baykar's, SİHA platforms combined with Leonardo's vast capabilities in artificial intelligence It is expected to produce vehicles with strategic capabilities that were not previously possible. This stands out as a factor that will strengthen Baykar's global position in the field of defense.
Leonardo's Strategic Goals
With the income it will receive from this collaboration, Leonardo continues its growth plans in line with a broader strategic goal. The company aims to generate 2029 billion Euros in revenue by 30It aims to achieve this goal through new joint ventures and an increase in defense spending in Europe. crawlers, Leonardo receives €6 billion in additional annual revenue from orders from the European Union He stated that he expected to obtain.
In this process, especially new generation fighter jets, tanks and armored vehicles Collaborations and joint ventures regarding production will be on the agenda. Leonardo, Rheinmetall The tanks and armored vehicles that it has started to produce in partnership with attract attention as part of these strategic goals.
The United Kingdom, Japan and Italy's Sixth Generation Fighter Aircraft Project (GCAP)
Another important development was Leonardo's sixth generation fighter jet program GCAPwill be featured in. United Kingdom, Japan and Italyuntil 2035 production of sixth generation fighter jets It is reported that Leonardo will also play an important role in this program and an investment of 40 billion Euros will be made within the scope of the project. This will further strengthen the company's technological capacity in the field of air defense and aviation.
Leonardo's Space and Cybersecurity Investments
Leonardo is not only a defense technology company, but also space ve cyber security continues to make major investments in the fields of 2027-2028. Launching 18 new satellites Leonardo, who plans to build these projects, stated that these projects will have a budget of 900 million Euros. Italian Ministry of Defencewill provide significant financial support to this project.
The second reason to use the Leonardo's investments in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence will also support the company's growth targets in the global security market. This strategy will Leonardo is not just a defense company, but a global security company. will provide.
Conclusion: Baykar and Leonardo's Future Role
The collaboration between Baykar and Leonardo, Turkish defense industry ve global defense sector This collaboration is a giant step for Baykar's SİHA platforms making it much more advanced, Leonardo's impact on the global market Baykar SİHAs, which will be equipped with advanced sensors and artificial intelligence integrations, will especially in defense and security strategies will continue to play an important role.
On the other hand, Leonardo's long-term growth targets are not limited to the defense industry alone, space, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity This strategic collaboration will consolidate the future leadership of both companies and enable them to gain a more solid position in the global defense and security market.
