The first seminar was given by ROKETSAN Corporate Communications and Promotion Leader Şükrü Erinç Özer.

“We developed the world's fastest cruise missile”
Özer also explained that ROKETSAN's latest project, the new generation cruise missile "ÇAKIR", could enter the Guinness Book of Records as the cruise missile developed in the shortest time, and talked about the mini smart ammunition (MAM) family, which does not have fuel or engine, that they produce for UAVs.
Özer said, “We have become one of the top 5 countries in the world in using these guided munitions, which can extend the operation time of UAVs and reduce the cost. This product is the product we export to the most countries. It was used in cross-border operations. "There is no equivalent of this product in the world yet," he said.
“We develop local and national technologies”
Chief Engineer İsmail Yiğit Coşar from ASELSAN made his presentation titled "Technologies of the Future". Touching on the importance of collaborations with universities, Coşar said, “We aim to open our technologies to the world under the leadership of our Presidency and the Presidency of Defense Industries. In this ideal, it is very important for us to cooperate with universities and bring new local and national technologies to our country. We must be proactive, analyze our needs in a planned manner, just like planting crops in the field, and direct our young people to that field. "As a country, we will have a say in what we produce, not what we consume," he said.
“We are developing a project where information leakage is impossible”
In the last session of the technical presentation, TÜRKSAT IT Software Development Specialist Enis Sarıkaya gave information about TÜRKSAT's activities in the fields of satellite, cable, informatics and human resources.
In his presentation, Sarıkaya conveyed the studies carried out with the aim of increasing domestic and national products in satellite communication systems and said, "We are developing a project called 'Star Topology', which will be unique in the world, with our own satellite, our own model and our own network structure, in which it is impossible for information to leak to the outside. Once various tests are completed, we will start mass production. We must be able to compete with the products in the world and market them. "We can only achieve this by working together with university students and training them as qualified human resources in the field of satellite and space technologies," he said.
The seminar, which attracted great interest from the students, ended with taking a souvenir photo to commemorate the day after questions and answers were received.
