KORGAN-M Smart Drone Station from SAVX Technology - RaillyNews

The KORGAN-M smart drone station, developed by SAVX Technology, a subsidiary of Pasifik Technology, represents the cutting edge of autonomous systems in the defense industry. Eliminating the need for an operator and capable of performing missions even under electronic warfare (EW) conditions, the KORGAN-M—with capabilities developed entirely by domestic engineering expertise—provides security forces with real-time, highly reliable intelligence and operational flexibility.

The New Link in the Autonomous Mission Chain: KORGAN-M

Capable of deploying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to different locations and initiating autonomous missions with the push of a button, KORGAN-M is optimized for fully autonomous reconnaissance and surveillance missions in the defense sector. The system remains on standby 24/7 in its deployed area, enabling cloud-based flight mission planning, real-time tracking, and AI-powered data analysis. These features significantly accelerate operational decision-making processes.

The most critical feature that sets KORGAN-M apart from its competitors is its integration with the Seyyah Visual Navigation System, a 100% domestically produced product of TİTRA Technology, a subsidiary of Pasifik Technology. Thanks to this integration, KORGAN-M can operate independently of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS/GPS) under electronic warfare conditions and provide near-real-time intelligence. TİTRA General Manager Ekrem Ünlü noted that there are very few other drone systems with this capability in Turkey or worldwide, and that KORGAN-M represents a new standard in Turkey’s defense autonomy.

A Global Success Story of Domestic Engineering

Ekrem Ünlü, General Manager of TİTRA, a subsidiary of Pasifik Technology, emphasized that KORGAN-M marks a strategic turning point in Turkey’s defense technology vision. Ünlü noted that this system provides security forces in the field with speed, flexibility, and reliability through its AI-supported decision-making mechanisms, cloud-based mission planning, and fully integrated sensor architecture. He explained that KORGAN-M forms a fully autonomous mission chain—integrated through domestic engineering expertise—spanning all layers from the drone station to the data collection center, and from the analysis software to the cloud-based control system.

Technical Details Shaped by Field Requirements

Abdullah Aktaş, Co-Founder of SAVX Technology, explained that the development process of KORGAN-M drew on users’ field experiences. The technical specifications of KORGAN-M, the result of intensive engineering work, are as follows:

Remote Control and Low Latency: It enables low-latency command and control via both the internet and closed networks, allowing for control and monitoring even from thousands of kilometers away.

Advanced Sensors: Equipped with advanced imaging sensors for both day and night, it provides superior situational awareness.

AI-Supported Algorithms: Thanks to domestically developed object detection and tracking algorithms, it ensures continuous monitoring of targets in complex mission environments, thereby maximizing operational effectiveness.

Electronic Warfare Resilience: With the integration of the Seyyah Visual Navigation System, it can operate independently of GNSS systems.

Time-Based Autonomous Mission: Operating on the principle of “on duty when the time comes,” it takes off autonomously at a predetermined date and time to execute its mission.

Environmental Analysis and Safety: It analyzes wind, temperature, humidity, and precipitation data using integrated environmental sensing sensors; it makes autonomous decisions under unfavorable flight conditions and notifies the remote user.

Redundant Power Architecture: It features a redundant power architecture that ensures mission continuity even during power outages.

By delivering uninterrupted operational capability even under challenging weather and electronic warfare conditions, KORGAN-M has once again demonstrated Turkey’s vision for indigenous and national defense technologies on a global scale.
