BMS Defence Technologies Inc. (BMS Defence) was established in 2019 and is a company that produces unmanned aerial vehicles under the cloud concept. Although it is only 4 years old, it has 30 years of experience and knowledge of its founders in the background. The investment steps taken to create a mass production line, especially in the last 6-7 months, are a great result of this experience. BMS Defence, which has expanded its experienced team and has a factory campus in the Başkent Organized Industrial Zone, Ankara, impresses in the sector with its quality and open-to-development products.
It manufactures rotary wing and fixed wing UAVs for both civil and military purposes with a sub-cloud concept and a multidisciplinary approach. It develops products for military use, both for reconnaissance and surveillance, and for attack. At the same time, many of their own software-based works such as image matching, camera integration, datalink and autopilot production are also used in their products. They are preparing to provide a higher quality flight with the data-link and antennas they have developed.
In the civil sense, there are products designed for the current situation of crops in agricultural areas (wet and dry, disease, excessive infestation and drought, etc.), irrigation and spraying of plants, map production with RGB or multispectral cameras, and designed for use in firefighting. At the same time, spare parts and maintenance-repair services are provided for the products produced and delivered, and free pilot training services are provided to those who will use the unmanned aerial vehicles during the delivery process. In addition, imaging with high resolution cameras and obtaining orthophoto map data is provided upon request. In addition, as a separate service, UAV-0, UAV-1 and UAV-2 training services are offered in the presence of experienced trainers.
BMS Defence, which can easily update its products according to the desired needs, also aims to increase the export rate of Türkiye by supplying the technology and products produced in the country and abroad to industrial and corporate users abroad. In short, BMS Defence is taking firm steps towards becoming a leading company in the defence industry and aerospace industry and increasing its export rate with its solid technical infrastructure, innovative R&D studies and strong contacts it has established with its leading partners in their fields.
Within the scope of overseas operations, a contract was signed with the Indian partner for the production of agricultural and civil drones suitable for the Indian market, and Maviyom Aviation Pvt.Ltd. company was established.
