19. MORS Project – Modular shareable navigation system (Modüler Ortaklanabilir Navigasyon Sistemi).


20. DHL Project – Development of a Doppler speed log (Doppler Hız Logu Geliştirilmesi).


21. SATES Project – Development of a real-time seismic and acoustic detection device (Sismik Akustik Canlı Tespit Cihazı Geliştirilmesi).


22. DETAM Project – Development and application of a search coil magnetometer and a fluxgate magnetometer for early earthquake detection (Deprem Erken Tespiti İçin Arama Bobini Manyetometresi ve Fluxgate Manyetometre Geliştirilmesi ve Uygulaması).


23. EGS Project – Debris imaging system (Enkaz Görüntüleme Sistemi).


Some of these projects are part of the "Broad Area R&D Calls" (Savunma Sanayii Başkanlığı Ar-Ge Geniş Alan (SAGA) Çağrıları) issued by the Presidency of Defense Industries, aimed at addressing identified tactical and technical needs based on academic research. Studies and analyses conducted under SAGA remain theoretical and do not involve the manufacturing of physical products or prototypes.


Notably, three projects—ZAHİDE, ATAKAN, and CANBAZ—were named in tribute to the victims of the PKK terrorist attack on October 23, 2024, targeting Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) facilities.
