Türkiye highlights naval defense advancements at Teknofest Blue Homeland 2026

The maritime exposition Teknofest Blue Homeland 2026 featured a range of domestic naval defense hardware and autonomous technologies at the Gölcük Shipyard Command in Kocaeli. Organised by Türkiye’s Ministry of National Defense alongside the T3 Foundation, the four-day event displayed various Turkish Navy platforms, missile systems, and uncrewed vessels.

Key technological highlights included defense contractor FNSS’s İ-ZAHA, an uncrewed modular amphibious vehicle engineered to lower human operational risk during landing missions. The Turkish Navy also showcased the TCG İmbat, a Kılıç-II class fast attack vessel capable of reaching speeds up to 40 knots while maintaining a reduced radar cross-section. Additionally, the event hosted national engineering contests focused on uncrewed surface and underwater technology development.
