DASAL, a drone solutions specialist within Altınay Savunma Group, has announced the imminent integration of the PUHU C75 cargo drone, which has a payload capacity of 75 kg.
Burak Mercan, CEO of Altınay Savunma Teknolojileri, has spoken to Anadolu News Agency and clarified that DASAL, founded in 2019 in partnership with ASELSAN, is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Altınay. DASAL focuses on a range of innovative products, including light and heavy drones, and carries out six major projects in parallel.
In addition, the FALCON-DAD anti-drone project and drones mounted on armoured vehicles are in the final stages of development and are expected to enter service in 2025. These solutions aim to respond to airborne threats and improve the security of military convoys.
Mercan also highlighted DASAL's contributions to Turkish exports, especially to the Middle East, Asia and Latin America, through systems such as the MİKON armed micro-drone, which is already in production.
Altınay Group is also investing in infrastructure such as the Production Technology Center and a 16,000 m² project in Ankara to support aerospace programs. These initiatives will accelerate production and strengthen Turkey's export capabilities.
Mercan concluded by highlighting the strategic role of domestic platforms in developing the defence industry, which is attracting increasing international demands.
