ONUR Yuksek Teknoloji Exports: From Morocco to the FAA
Quick answer: ONUR Yuksek Teknoloji made its first export sale in 2020, to Morocco: a contract for five Voice Communication System (VCS) and Voice Recording System (VRS) units for Moroccan airports, recorded in the company’s history as its “first export.” This was followed in 2022 by a US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) order for VCS units for its R&D centers. The company states more than 500 systems are currently in use across 8 countries; the full country list has not been officially disclosed.
Morocco: the first export contract
Per the company’s June 2020 announcement, ONUR’s solutions would be used at Moroccan airports under a contract covering five VCS and VRS systems. In the same announcement the company described itself as Turkey’s only domestic VCS/VRS manufacturer. Which airports received the installations and the contract value have not been officially disclosed. “New milestone in overseas projects” announcements that appeared in the company’s news archive in subsequent years indicate the acceptance and commissioning phases of the Morocco project continued.
United States: FAA tests and an R&D order
ONUR’s US connection came in two stages. In 2019, the company’s RIG-200 radio-to-IP converter took part in an FAA VoIP interoperability testing event and, per the company announcement, attracted considerable attention. In 2022, the FAA ordered ONUR VCS solutions for use at its R&D centers. The entry of the ED-137-compliant OCS-NG4000 family into the US civil aviation authority’s test environment stands as an independent check of the company’s international standards compliance. The order quantity and value have not been officially disclosed.

Trade-show visibility and marketing
The company regularly exhibits at Airspace World in Geneva, the World ATM Congress in Madrid, and SAHA EXPO on the defense side. Products highlighted at these shows are the OCS-NG4000-RPS and RIG-200R built for UAV ground stations, along with air traffic management solutions. These shows, which gather international air navigation service providers, serve as the main showcase for the company’s export channel. Technical comparisons of the products against foreign competitors are covered in the comparison file.
Assessment
ONUR’s export profile leans closer to civil aviation infrastructure exports than defense electronics: its customers are air navigation authorities and airport operators. Its ED-137 compliance and FAA testing history serve as a reference point for procurements across the NATO and EUROCONTROL geography. Because the country list and contract values are undisclosed, any assessment of the monetary scale of exports can only be made through the periodic financial statements the company reports to KAP.
Turkey’s position in aviation-electronics exports
Turkey’s defense and aviation exports are largely associated with platform sales — UAVs, armored vehicles, ships — while air navigation infrastructure exports remain a less visible field. ONUR’s deliveries to Morocco and the FAA are among the few disclosed examples from Turkey in this area. Because buyers in the airport communication systems market tend to weigh lifecycle support and certification history, early references create a multiplier effect in subsequent tenders. Integration products such as the company’s mobile tower also carry potential to reach overseas markets through the same channel, though no disclosed export contract exists for these products yet.
