Turkish firm unveils Kuzgun (>1,000 km range), TOGAN‑M micro‑UAV and Tengiz underwater systems with torpedo‑launch capability
Kuzgun — one‑way attack drone and swarm doctrine At the SAHA expo in Istanbul, STM revealed Kuzgun, a fixed‑wing loitering munition with a claimed range of over 1,000 km and top speed around 180 km/h. Armed with a high‑explosive fragmentation warhead and bearing design similarities to Iran’s Shahed‑136, the platform is under testing; swarm deployment is planned and commercial interest is strong, though no contracts exist yet.
TOGAN‑M — ultra‑light ISR and portability STM showcased TOGAN‑M, a foldable reconnaissance and surveillance UAV weighing just 2.5 kg, tailored for tactical ISR missions where light weight and transportability are priorities.
Tengiz — autonomous underwater warfare family The company introduced the Tengiz family of autonomous unmanned underwater systems: up to 11.2 m in length, operable to 400 m depth at about 8 knots, capable of ISR and combat roles including anti‑submarine and electronic warfare. The systems can launch heavy torpedoes and carry smart loitering munitions.
AI integration and continuous upgrades STM’s leadership emphasizes the use of artificial intelligence, image processing and machine learning across its platforms, with ongoing upgrades to autonomy and analytical capabilities.
Integration‑driven production and regional localization Describing itself as an engineering integrator rather than a large manufacturer, STM relies on subcontractors for production and offers integration and export. The company is open to technology transfer and local production in Middle Eastern and Gulf states, having signed MOUs in the region and proposing flexible cooperation models—from joint development to local manufacture or adaptation of regional technologies with STM support.
