ROADMAP

TUSAŞ Technology Roadmap is a decision support system that guides R&D projects, cooperation between universities and the defence industry, and academic work in order for TUSAŞ to achieve its strategic goals. Through TUSAŞ Technology Roadmap, TUSAŞ keeps track of future technologies and other necessary competencies to be acquired in line with the strategic goals of our defense industry.

Within the scope of the latest update, information on the acquisition procedures and justifications of technology topics, as well as the evaluations of relevant field experts are recorded for questions such as time, intended use, platform relationship, restrictive regulations, possible stakeholders and target platforms/processes. TUSAŞ Technology Roadmap includes not only the studies foreseen to be conducted by TUSAŞ, but also the technology topics developed by external technology focal points with which TUSAŞ cooperates or may cooperate, and which are predicted to be used in TUSAŞ products.

TUSAŞ Technology Roadmap ensures the continuous collection of comprehensive and up-to-date information with its processes that were digitized in 2023. Its framework enables instant analysis and is accessible to all employees. In addition to the information obtained from the product groups, the latest developments in the defense and aerospace industries are tracked, publications and patents of stakeholder companies in related industries are followed, technology trends are researched, and forecasting activities are carried to solve emerging requirements. The data collected as a result of these comprehensive activities are analyzed and evaluated within TUSAŞ Technology Roadmap.
