In addition to aligning
its vision for system
development and production
with the specific requirements
of domestic and indigenous design
programmes, BNA also designs - as
required in the technical specifications
of these programmes - D projects for
critical and confidential technological
information needs, thus developing road maps
for the acquisition of critical technologies. As for
the Turkish Fighter Development (TF- ) rogramme,
for which design activities are still ongoing, BNA
continues to conduct research and development activities
together with Turkish companies and universities on new
generation Active Digital Flight Control Systems, and on lower
observability technologies found in similar aircraft products around
With its domestic and qualified engineering workforce, BNA is ready to the world. Furthermore, with regards to projects involving the
