Altınay Savunma Exports and International Activity: Fairs, Partnerships and the Top-100 Goal
Altınay Savunma’s exports and international footprint are best read not from disclosed sales figures, but from the international fairs, exercises, partnerships and quality-network memberships where its technologies appear. The company’s stated ambition is to become one of the world’s top 100 defence firms. This article compiles its publicly verifiable international activity, keeping a strict “exhibiting/talks ≠ a sale” distinction.
How to read Altınay’s exports and international activity
Altınay Savunma is a subsystem supplier that does not publicly itemise country-level sales or signed export contracts in detail. Its international dimension is therefore assessed mainly through promotional and exhibition activity, membership in international quality and partnership networks, and global cooperation steps. An important methodological caveat: exhibiting at a fair, demonstrating at an exercise or holding talks does not, on its own, amount to a direct sale or export. This article makes no assumptions about countries or contracts and reports only public activity.
Presence at international fairs and events
Altınay’s technologies and subsidiaries have featured at numerous domestic and international events. According to public information, its technologies were seen at platforms such as IDEF’25, TEKNOFEST 2025, SAHA EXPO and Eurosatory 2026. Eurosatory, held in Paris, is regarded as one of the world’s largest land-systems fairs and is an important stage for international visibility for Turkish defence firms. Such fairs are where motion-control systems, mast and pedestal solutions, and unmanned-system capabilities are presented to international buyers and partners.
International reach through Qatar and DASAL
The group’s international face runs not only through Altınay Savunma but also through its subsidiary DASAL Aviation Technologies. Public information indicates that advanced-technology solutions were showcased with DASAL in Qatar. DASAL’s PUHU-C75/C100 cargo UAV family and other unmanned platforms are prominent in the group’s international promotion. For detail on the group structure, see our Altınay Subsidiaries: DASAL and TAAC article. Still, unless it is publicly confirmed whether these showcases converted into concrete sales/export contracts, no country or figure should be inferred.
Technologies at military exercises and field events
Altınay’s solutions have also been shown beyond fairs, under field conditions. Public information indicates its technologies featured at military/operational events such as the Efes 2026 exercise and UEZ 2025. Such settings are valuable for demonstrating motion-control and stabilisation capabilities in near-real scenarios — but these are promotional demonstrations, not direct export transactions.
The backbone of export capability: quality and partnership networks
A defence firm’s ability to operate internationally depends heavily on compliance with international standards and quality networks. Altınay has a strong footing here: it holds AS9100D, ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications and a National and NATO Secret Facility Security Clearance. It is also a member of international quality networks such as IAQG (International Aerospace Quality Group) and EAQG (European Aerospace Quality Group). These memberships and certifications provide the trust infrastructure required to enter international aerospace/defence supply chains — capabilities that open the export door even in the absence of a headline export figure.
Global partnerships and international awards
Altınay has also announced steps toward international cooperation. Public information indicates it took a global aerospace cooperation step with G7 Aerospace. It also won an award at ISIF’24 (an international invention fair) with a wastewater-treatment patent — showing international recognition not only in defence but also in critical production and environmental technologies. These partnerships and awards help the company gain visibility on its path toward the global top-100 goal.
Export vision: the global top-100 goal
Altınay’s corporate vision is explicit: to become one of the world’s top 100 defence firms. By nature this target implies a strong drive toward internationalisation and exports. The company’s emphasis on localisation against embargoes — for example the indigenisation of a previously imported capability with Kuşkapanı HYTS — is part of a strategy that reduces external dependence and carries medium-term export potential.
