Our goal is to produce advanced technologies that will strengthen our national security, support information sharing, and train qualified human resources by providing postgraduate education in the field of defense technologies to graduates of undergraduate programs such as computer, electrical-electronics, mechanical, materials, and environmental engineering.

Our institute offers a research, learning, and development environment for our students in strategic areas such as artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, cyber security, security technologies, satellite communication and 5G smart antenna technologies, design, manufacturing, and materials science. We aim to support our students with projects in these areas that will shape the future of the defense industry and increase their knowledge and experience in line with the needs of the industry.

At the same time, we carry out joint projects with national and international actors through both academic projects and collaborations with sector representatives in our areas of expertise. To adapt to the dynamic structure of the defense industry, develop new solutions, and create a sustainable exchange of information, we attach importance to benefiting from the knowledge and experience of our valuable collaborators.
