An Important Cooperation in Defence
Industries: FNSS and STM signed a
Letter of Intent for Integration of Smart
Ammunitions and UAVs

FNSS and STM signed the TOGAN Letter of Intent on the 2nd of May,
during IDEF 2019. STM Chairman Celal Sami Tüfekçi, STM General
Manager Murat İkinci, FNSS CEO Nail Kurt and FNSS Director of
Marketing and Programs Aybars Küçük joined the signing ceremony.
The protocol aims to develop new systems to advance the Turkish
Defence Industry by integrating different platforms developed by
FNSS and STM. The integration of fixed and rotary winged smart
ammunition systems and reconnaissance UAVs supplied by STM,
with the Armored Fighting Vehicles, Armored Personnel Carriers,
reconnaissance vehicles, and turret systems produced by FNSS, is
covered by the protocol. To this extent, FNSS and STM are willing to
share their knowledge and experience in order to shape a cooperation
and work in joint projects in the future.

MAV was Shown for the First Time in IDEF 2019

MAV, which has very few equivalents in its class due to its unique mission description and tough requirements, was showcased in
IDEF 2019. Visitors of the FNSS stand were able to see the MAV prototype, which will provide the requirements of the 21st century
to the Marine Corps. The details of the vehicle were shared with the audience during the second day of the fair.

Vice President of the Presidency of Defence Industries, Mustafa Murat Şeker, noted that MAV holds a special meaning for him
because they had the will to decide to produce this vehicle, instead of just importing it when he was serving as the head of the
Department of Naval Platforms. Şeker also expressed that he is proud to see the results of the decisions made years ago.
