SAGE

Who We Are

Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey Defense Industries Research and Development Institute (TÜBİTAK SAGE) was founded in 1972 in order to meet the needs of Turkish Armed Forces and the national defense industry organizations. TÜBİTAK SAGE operates in Ankara, in three different locations; Lalahan, Beşevler and METU Campus.

The vision of the institute is to make Türkiye independent in defense technologies.

The mission of the institute is to provide defense industry with competitive and high-added value technologies, products and services through R&D activities.

The main objective of TÜBİTAK SAGE is to make applied research and technological development, in order to contrubite in establishing a healthy national defense industry based on scientific and technological principles within the country.

The main mission of institute within the frame of this goal; is to conduct research and development studies to fulfill the requirements of Turkish Armed Forces and national defense industries organizations by establishing cooperation with national and/or foreign foundations when needed.

TÜBİTAK SAGE is empowering its knowledge by research projects, designing and developing software&hardware by development projects, providing services by analysis/measurement and consultancy projects and establishing the infrastructures which are required by the high-tech products and services.

TÜBİTAK SAGE executes projects with Ministry of National Defense, Turkish Armed Forces, Presidency of Defense Industries and various defense industry organizations.

Within the scope of the National Combat Aircraft (MMU) Project, Avionics Information Display Software was developed. The aim of this software is to enable aircraft pilots to quickly and accurately access important information about air attack systems and avionics.

As part of the Acoustic Signal Processing System studies for the TCG Kınalıada, an algorithm was developed for the underwater sounds of the ship.

Artificial Intelligence and Cyber Security Workshop was organized.

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform was developed in the field of artificial intelligence. Thanks to this project, many important functions such as data analysis, forecasting and fault prediction have become possible for industrial facilities.

Some of the major projects started in 2022:
- THULAB Laboratory Infrastructure
- TGNA TTBS Project
