Türkiye-based Elektroland Defence has unveiled its new Economic 6x6 Multi-Purpose Unmanned Ground Vehicle at SAHA 2026, as the company expands its portfolio of cost-effective robotic systems for defense and public security missions.

The launch comes as Elektroland continues to position itself as Türkiye’s first bomb disposal robot manufacturer developed with domestic and national resources, while strengthening its footprint in unmanned ground systems.

Alongside the new platform, the company is showcasing a range of systems already in operational service. These include the TMR-1 DİNÇER and TMR-2 KUTLU bomb disposal robots, the HANÇER multi-purpose unmanned ground vehicle, as well as the ACROB throwable reconnaissance robot and the MİNİROW mini surveillance system.

The newly introduced 6x6 vehicle is designed as a cost-efficient, multi-role platform capable of supporting a wide range of missions, from reconnaissance and logistics to hazardous operations. The focus on affordability reflects Elektroland’s long-standing approach of developing reliable explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) systems using off-the-shelf components that can be delivered quickly to end users.

That philosophy dates back to the mid-2000s, when the company developed Türkiye’s first EOD robot to meet the requirements of the Turkish Armed Forces. Since then, Elektroland has steadily expanded its capabilities, building a broad portfolio of unmanned systems and autonomous solutions.

Today, the company serves a wide base of national and international customers and is a registered supplier to both the United Nations and NATO. Elektroland says it has delivered more than 1,000 systems, including hundreds of EOD robots now in operation across more than 15 countries.

A key part of its growth has been its in-house capability. The company designs, develops, manufactures and supports its systems internally, allowing it to respond quickly to evolving operational needs.

Its platforms are used not only in defense and public security roles, but also in civilian applications such as firefighting, emergency response, transport and mapping. By leveraging a shared supply chain and engineering base, Elektroland is able to adapt production and scale output depending on demand.

At SAHA 2026, the company’s focus remains clear: delivering flexible, mission-ready unmanned systems that balance performance with cost, while continuing to expand its presence in both domestic and international markets.
