Türkiye showcased its naval technology at Teknofest Blue Homeland 2026 in Kocaeli, featuring uncrewed amphibious vehicles and fast attack craft.
Türkiye concluded Teknofest Blue Homeland 2026, a four-day maritime technology showcase held at the Gölcük Shipyard Command in Kocaeli from August 20 to 23. Jointly organized by the Ministry of National Defense and the T3 Foundation, the event featured a range of Turkish naval platforms, uncrewed systems, and air defense capabilities.
Exhibits included defense contractor FNSS's modular uncrewed amphibious assault vehicle, the İ-ZAHA, designed to reduce operational risks during landing operations alongside crewed vessels. The Turkish Navy also showcased the TCG İmbat, a Kılıç-II class fast attack craft capable of reaching 40 knots with a reduced radar signature. The festival additionally hosted engineering competitions for uncrewed underwater and surface craft.
