What Does Altınay Defence Produce? Products and Capability Areas
What does Altınay Savunma Teknolojileri A.Ş. (Altınay Defence Technologies) actually produce? Rather than a single flagship, the company is defined by a portfolio built around high-precision motion-control engineering. It develops motion-control systems, unmanned systems, stealth (signature-reduction) solutions, weapon systems and munitions-disposal and production lines for naval, land and air platforms. Its official catalogue centres on five core products, five activity fields and nine solution domains.
What does Altınay produce? The short answer
Altınay’s official product page lists five products: the Kuşkapanı Helicopter Handling and Traversing System (HYTS) for naval platforms, keyless telescopic mast systems for land platforms, the high-precision X Motion servo drives, a stabilised weapon pedestal, and the electro-optical Venüs-4 system. Their common thread is indigenous, embargo-resilient sub-system production designed to replace foreign components exposed to supply risk.
Official product portfolio
The table below summarises the five officially listed products, their target platforms and core functions. Scroll horizontally on mobile.
| Product | Platform | Core function |
|---|---|---|
| Kuşkapanı (HYTS) | Naval | Safe capture, securing and traversing of a helicopter on a ship’s deck |
| Keyless Mast | Land | Telescopic keyless screw-driven mast for elevation |
| X Motion servo | Multi-platform | High-precision motion and position control |
| Weapon Pedestal | Land / Naval | Stabilised, remotely operated weapon mounting and aiming |
| Venüs-4 | Multi-platform | Electro-optical surveillance and stabilised targeting |
Five activity fields and nine solution domains
The engineering behind these products is grouped into five activity fields — motion-control systems, unmanned systems, stealth (signature-reduction) systems, weapon systems, and munitions-disposal and production systems. These extend across nine solution domains: land, naval, air, unmanned, energy, test, space and satellite, munitions-disposal and critical production, and production technologies. In other words, Altınay produces not only finished products but also sub-systems and engineering services integrated into other platforms.
Subsidiary products: DASAL and TAAC
Part of the answer lies with Altınay’s subsidiaries. DASAL Aviation Technologies develops unmanned aircraft; the PUHU-C75 and PUHU-C100 cargo UAVs are officially DASAL products. TAAC Aviation Technologies is another aviation subsidiary within the group. Note that the PUHU family is produced by the DASAL subsidiary, not directly by Altınay Savunma A.Ş.
Manufacturing, quality and certifications
Altınay manufactures across more than 40,000 m² at the Teknopark İstanbul campus in Kurtköy and holds AS9100D, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications, along with national and NATO facility security clearances — the quality backbone required to supply aerospace and defence supply chains.
