SOM's capabilities cover all product life cycle stages of its systems. It has both organizational and technological competence at all stages, from the formation of the system idea to research and product development, production and after-sales activities.

Our R&D capabilities include the end-to-end design and development of UAV systems' air platforms and ground components, including subsystems, and our activities are carried out in accordance with relevant military and civilian standards.

The design, analysis, prototype production and integration of composite, mechanical, electromechanical parts, communication and power cable sets in air platforms and ground components are carried out within SOM.

The software used in our systems is developed by SOM specifically for the relevant platform and subsystem.

Among our R&D capabilities

Mechanical systems design and development

Mechanical system design and development

CAD-based aircraft design and optimization, structural part design

Aircraft and mechanical systems analysis and simulation (aerodynamics, control and stability, structural analyses)

Aircraft performance analysis

Propulsion, fuel and take-off systems design and analysis

Propulsion systems integration

Electronic systems and avionics (aviation electronics) development

RF and microwave system design and analysis

Electrical/power systems design and analysis

Communication and power cables design and analysis

Mechatronic systems design and analysis

-    Software development

o Object-oriented software development (interface, map and navigation systems, network-based and distributed systems, image transfer systems)

o Embedded software development

o Developing artificial intelligence (machine learning, image processing) applications

o Development of flight control and guidance systems

o Developing hardware-informed (HIL) simulation systems

- Design and development of ground support systems and test equipment

- Payload (camera, ammunition, radar, electronic support pods, etc.) electronic, mechanical and software integration and analysis activities are carried out.

Within the scope of R&D activities, prototype production, testing and design verification activities are also carried out.

The designed UAV systems are produced together with their subsystems and components, integrated and put into service after passing the detailed testing and quality control stages.

In our production activities, modern machinery and equipment required for high technology production are used. 3 and 5-axis advanced CNC machines, automatic typesetting machines, autoclaves wide enough to allow the production of long parts such as wings, composite ovens of various sizes and precision measuring devices are among the important equipment in our production park.

In composite manufacturing, part-specific techniques such as hand-laying, vacuum bagging, vacuum infusion, RTM can be used, and manufacturing can be done with exotic materials such as carbon fiber, kevlar, prepreg or their hybrids.

In our CNC park, aluminum and titanium alloy materials, which are used extensively in aviation, can be produced with precise surface and machining tolerances.

Our PCB and avionics production activities are carried out under clean room conditions in accordance with relevant military and civilian standards. In order to maintain military-level product quality, our production control processes are supported by appropriate equipment such as spectrum and network analyzers, signal generators, and high-resolution microscopes.

In today's world, the defense industry is a fundamental component of the world economy and one of the main trump cards of the balance of power. Defense expenditures have gradually increased due to rival countries' efforts to respond to advances in weapons technologies. This race has been the harbinger of technological armament that has given rise to a number of new defense doctrines since the end of the Cold War. One of these doctrines is the rise of “network-centric” warfare in response to “platform-centric” warfare, which is often considered the most significant military revolution of the past century.

This doctrine emphasizes the importance of complete control over information and network-management rather than the use of heavy industry in defense. This change was nourished by and contributed to economic and commercial developments and developments in information technology.

Since new knowledge-based economies and technologies began to replace the old heavy industry, unmanned systems, in particular, have begun to be seen as an important opportunity for countries to get rid of personnel-based operations on the battlefield. Especially for our country, the transition to unmanned aviation has been an opportunity not only to close the gap with other countries, but also to widen the gap to our advantage.

In this context, our company is inspired by the worldview and vision of our scientists, the founders of positive sciences, by following in the footsteps of our ancient civilization to develop unmanned aerial systems and produce the most advanced technologies at the global level. We strive to provide national technology accumulation in line with these values. We also strive to offer reliable, integrated and complete systems that connect high technology and mission-critical functions to serve our armed forces.
