STM will bring naval platforms and autonomous systems to ADEX 2026, with its display ranging from the ADA-class corvette and fast attack craft to underwater vehicles, loitering munitions and counter-UAV systems.
The naval portfolio will include the ADA-class Corvette developed under Türkiye’s MİLGEM programme, the STM MPAC Fast Attack Craft and the NETA 300 unmanned autonomous underwater vehicle.
Autonomy will form another major element of the company’s ADEX presence. STM will highlight work on swarm intelligence, distributed autonomy and navigation in environments where satellite navigation is unavailable or disrupted. Its KERKES technology is designed to allow unmanned aircraft to navigate and conduct missions in GNSS-denied conditions, while the YAKTU kamikaze unmanned surface vehicle extends the company’s autonomous-system portfolio into the maritime domain.
STM demonstrated its UAV swarm capability during the EFES-2026 exercise, where 20 KARGU loitering munitions controlled by a single operator navigated to a mission area and carried out a coordinated live-ammunition engagement. The demonstration provided an operational example of the distributed swarm architecture that the company will highlight in Baku.
The aerial systems displayed at ADEX will also include KARGU, the rotary-wing loitering munition already in service in Azerbaijan; TOGAN Mini, designed for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions; and TUNGA-X, a high-speed interceptor intended to engage hostile UAVs.
STM’s ADEX display therefore brings together conventional naval platforms and several layers of unmanned capability, covering underwater, surface and aerial operations as well as swarm and resilient-navigation technologies.
