STM Exports BOYGA UAV for the First Time
STM’s BOYGA UAV is exported to an undisclosed customer. The UAV carries the ammunition to the target area and drops on it. The ammunition-dropping UAV BOYGA, Autonomous Multi-Rotor Combat UAS with Mortar Payload developed by the STM, plays an active role in the fight against terrorism.
The contract for the first export of BOYGA has been concluded with an undisclosed African country, and deliveries are scheduled for completion in 2024. Since being added to the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) inventory in 2022, BOYGA has been actively involved in the fight against terrorism, cross-border operations and international exercises, most recently, the EFES-2024 Exercise, during which it hit the designated targets with pinpoint accuracy.

Turkish Scientists Develop Highly Heat-Resistant Composite
Turkish scientists from Malatya İnönü University have developed a composite material with extreme resistance to heat to protect against laser weapons. The scientists, Yeliz Toptaş and Murat Toptaş have stated to İhlas News Agency that the material can resist temperatures of 2600 degrees Celsius, which is on par with ablative coatings used in re-entry vehicles that are exposed to extreme heat due to high speeds. Laser weapons’ principle of target destruction is heating a point to extreme temperatures until the target loses its operational capability.
