HAVELSAN is presenting its next-generation solutions in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, command and control, combat management, simulation, training,  and cybersecurity at SAHA EXPO 2026 taking place in Istanbul from 05-09 May 2026.

HAVELSAN’s portfolio at SAHA EXPO 2026 reflects the company’s main fields of activity: command and control and defense technologies, information and communication technologies, unmanned autonomous platforms, simulation and training, and cybersecurity.

This year, HAVELSAN is highlighting two important capabilities for the first time at SAHA EXPO: ADVENT-AI and BARKAN 3.

ADVENT-AI: AI-Supported Decision Superiority for Naval Operations

ADVENT-AI is one of the key outcomes of HAVELSAN’s long-term work in artificial intelligence. It is designed as an AI-supported decision layer that supports operators in naval operations.

The system analyzes high-volume operational data in real time. It helps detect patterns, filter critical information, and support faster decision-making. By reducing the cognitive workload of operators, ADVENT-AI contributes to a more reliable and data-driven operational picture.

HAVELSAN’s approach is clear: artificial intelligence does not replace the operator; it supports the operator.

At SAHA EXPO 2026, HAVELSAN is demonstrating ADVENT-AI through an asymmetric threat scenario. The demonstration will include track-level anomaly detection, real-time detection and classification of surface objects under electronic warfare and jamming conditions, AI-supported tactical picture generation, maritime navigation support, platform safety, intelligent monitoring, voice assistant support, and AI-supported naval gunfire effectiveness prediction.

Thanks to ADVENT’s modular and distributed architecture, these new capabilities can be introduced to existing platforms through updates. This provides flexibility for future requirements while helping protect current platform investments.

BARKAN 3: Next-Generation Unmanned Autonomous Platform

HAVELSAN is also showcasing BARKAN 3 for the first time at SAHA EXPO 2026.

BARKAN 3 represents HAVELSAN’s next-generation unmanned autonomous platform capability for land operations. It is designed to support teams in the field and contribute to reconnaissance, surveillance, perimeter security, and high-risk mission areas.

In today’s rapidly changing operational environment, threats are becoming more complex and risks are increasing. Missions involving mine threats, improvised explosive devices, pre-contact reconnaissance, perimeter security, or operations in high-risk areas may expose personnel to serious danger.

BARKAN 3 helps address these challenges by operating ahead of personnel, collecting field data, supporting early threat assessment, and contributing to command and control processes.

The platform is designed to work with personnel, not replace them. It acts as a reliable mission assistant and a force multiplier for units in the field. By reducing mission burden and increasing personnel safety, BARKAN 3 supports safer and more effective mission execution.

With its modular structure, BARKAN 3 can be adapted to different operational scenarios. It can integrate different sensors, payloads, robotic capabilities, and mission support systems according to mission requirements.

BARKAN 3 is also aligned with HAVELSAN’s Digital Troop vision. In this approach, unmanned land, air, and naval platforms are considered connected assets. They can operate together, share data, support one another, and contribute to a common operational picture.
