It was decided to support Titra Teknoloji, which operates in the fields of unmanned systems and artificial intelligence, in the "regional-priority investment" category of its investment in the manufacturing of air and space vehicles in Ankara-Kahramankazan.

Titra Teknoloji aims to produce 10 Alpin unmanned helicopters and 250 fixed wing kamikazes per year at the facility.

Alpin unmanned helicopter was created as an unmanned/autonomous solution by changing the control mechanisms and interfaces of the double manned helicopter and controlling the system-specific servo actuators with the developed autopilot system.

Alpin, which can take off and land vertically with a single button, aims to be the first mass-produced unmanned helicopter in Turkey that can perform assigned tasks fully automatically and can carry +200 kilograms of payload. With this load capacity, Alpin will be able to serve in many military/civilian areas.

With its fixed wing kamikaze solution, Titra Teknoloji also aims to respond to the increasing demands in this field recently.


Alpin unmanned helicopter preparing to take to the field for military logistics missions this year, will also be equipped with weapon systems such as missiles and rockets with its high payload capacity.

Davut Yılmaz, General Manager of Titra Technology, statements on this roadmap:

"Beyond the priority of military and civil logistics, we aim to integrate and use systems such as missiles and rockets, especially since they will have a very high carrying capacity. This is our second priority on the Alpin side.

There will be different variations of this as well. There will be not only systems such as weapons and ammunition, but also different carrying options, systems and useful loads. Both complex systems with some heavily loaded sensors and intelligence systems as well as other systems for civilian purposes.

We planned most of them, and we tested some of them. In 2023, you will see Alpin doing very different things. We want to use Alpin's high carrying capacity. We do not intend to integrate weapons such as the classic machine gun. Our approach there is slightly different. Maybe we can consider integrating different types of heavy weapons, but on the weapons side, our priority is weapons such as missiles or rockets. It will take place in 2023.

Our priority this year is military logistics. If we do that, we will be the first company in the world to do this job, and our army will be the first."



Highlights of the first variant:
  • 200 kg payload
  • Beyond sight (BVLOS) flight
  • 15,000+ feet flight ceiling
  • Day and Night Fully Autonomous Flight and Takeoff&Landing Capability
  • Secure Instant Data and Image Sharing
  • Operation capability in Difficult Weather Conditions

ALPIN Unmanned Helicopter is an unmanned aerial vehicle that is dehumanized/autonomous by changing the control mechanisms and interfaces of a double manned helicopter and controlling the system-specific servo actuators with the autopilot system developed.

ALPIN is the first unmanned helicopter in Turkey that can perform the assigned tasks fully automatically and can carry a payload of 200 kg including fuel. With this load capacity, ALPIN will be able to serve in many military/civilian areas.

The usage areas;​

  • Target sharing support with artillery units in ground operations
  • Transportation of various useful loads such as ammunition and food to military areas
  • Intelligence, target detection/surveillance/tracking support at high altitude with high resolution camera and gimbal system
  • Transfer of payloads: reconnaissance, observation, food, first aid, etc. in natural disaster situations. transfer of payloads
  • Mapping and imaging applications
  • Agricultural duties
  • Meteorology
  • Mobile base station

ALPİN Unmanned Helicopter System Features:​


  • Ease of use with a user-friendly interface
  • Possibility to assign flight characteristics such as instant route, speed, altitude
  • Out-of-sight (BVLOS) flight with optional devices
  • aerial laser scanning
  • Day and night viewing with infrared camera
  • Encrypted transmission of daytime and EO/IR camera images to the ground station
  • Encrypted data communication infrastructure
  • Redundant avionics architecture and autopilot system
  • Easy integration of additional systems with modular avionics architecture
  • Safe/emergency landing with autorotation in case of engine loss (Autorotation)
  • Safe/emergency landing for certain emergency scenarios via parachute use
  • Automatic return to home capability with region and status limitation (link loss etc.)
  • Precise positioning capability
  • GNSS scam prevention
  • Safe flight with the integration of collision avoidance systems
  • Navigation via position, speed, orientation calculation (Dead Reckoning) using inertial navigation (INS) for GNSS loss and special purpose flights
  • Possibility to be transported with light-duty transport vehicles with compact dimensions
  • Alternative to control and display multiple ground control stations

In addition to these features, ALPIN can detect, identify, identify and track targets from long distances to ensure security in the military field. It maintains its great advantage against manned systems with its ability to access conflict environments without the risk of loss of lives. With its hover feature up to 20 minutes on targets, it can also prevent fixed-wing unmanned systems.

Reconnaissance, search and rescue in land and sea operations; It has the opportunity to be used for a wide variety of applications such as spraying and soil analysis in agricultural missions, weather forecasting in meteorology, scientific measurements in risky areas. It can easily carry out the logistics support task in mountainous areas and in areas where access is difficult.


TITRA Swarm Systems

With the Swarm System, fixed-wing and rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicles with different wing architectures can be controlled separately and together. Thus, unmanned aerial vehicle systems based on different autopilot systems can be managed and performed in a coordinated manner within the framework of certain tasks.
Thanks to the Swarm System, the basic features of individual unmanned aerial vehicles can be expanded and the basic UAV mission range can be expanded.

TITRA Swarm Systems Usage Areas;​


  • Reconnaissance, observation and intelligence in military operations
  • Target detection, positioning and tracking
  • Attack, attack elimination/defense
  • Regional meteorological analysis and atmospheric data collection in weather forecasting applications
  • Mapping and imaging applications
  • LoS boost with radio relay

  • Autonomous take off/landing with a single model and in a pack,
  • Fully autonomous and stable flight in swarms,
  • Autonomous on-board landing on all kinds of flat terrain without the need for a special runway,
  • Route tracking in herds and herd transfer to the duty area in accordance with different types of formations,
  • Unknown environment recognition and awareness raising through meaningful data transfer between UAVs,
  • Data storage, classification and interpretation via onboard and ground control unit,
  • Built-in image processing capability
  • Herd scanning operation in a certain area
  • Target detection/diagnosis/recognition/ tracking/geotargeting and swarm focus detection
  • Ability to update tasks before / during / after task with flexible architecture and algorithm structure
  • Ground station independent operation capability over the herd leader with its “Master/Slave” structure
  • Ability to split into multiple sub-herds
  • Specialized management based on UAV/swarm with mission computers integrated into vehicles

"We will make the announcements about our new product, fixed-wing, hand-launched and catapult-launched kamikaze UAV, at SAHA Expo." (CEO of Titra teknoloji)

It seems that there will be a very rapid and sudden expansion in the Turkish developed Kamikaze drone product line.

10 Alpin per year seems quite low. I think these unmanned helicopters are very useful in mountainous terrain. Could see great export numbers.
