Turkish firm HAVELSAN unveils AI anti-drone system BLUEVISION ahead of Eurosatory 2026
Turkish defense contractor HAVELSAN unveils AI-powered anti-drone system BLUEVISION at Eurosatory 2026, merging maritime detection with counter-drone technology.
HAVELSAN’s BLUEVISION, an artificial intelligence-driven "digital lookout" system, will expand its capabilities to detect and neutralize small aerial threats, including drones, according to company officials. The system, initially deployed to enhance maritime safety by identifying vessels and individuals in water that conventional radar misses, will integrate counter-drone functionality ahead of its official presentation at the Eurosatory defense exhibition in Paris this June.
The technology fuses camera data with sensor inputs, leveraging AI to distinguish between benign and hostile targets. While HAVELSAN has not disclosed specific performance metrics, the system’s dual-use design—spanning military and commercial applications—positions it as a potential competitor in Europe’s growing anti-drone market. A separate report from Digi24 highlights a parallel development: a hunting rifle manufacturer is repurposing its firearms into AI-equipped anti-drone systems, also set for debut at Eurosatory, underscoring the defense sector’s rapid pivot toward automated aerial threat detection.
BLUEVISION’s maritime success, as reported by Yeni Şafak, suggests the system’s algorithms could be adapted for low-altitude drone detection, though HAVELSAN has not confirmed whether the anti-drone variant will retain the original’s multi-sensor fusion or incorporate additional countermeasures, such as electronic jamming or kinetic interception. The company’s expansion into counter-drone tech aligns with global trends, as militaries and critical infrastructure operators seek AI-driven solutions to mitigate risks from commercial drones and swarming attacks.
With Eurosatory serving as a launchpad, BLUEVISION’s evolution reflects broader shifts in defense AI: cost pressures (as noted by *Adevărul* regarding U.S. firms scaling back AI investments) and geopolitical urgency (e.g., Iran’s reported use of Western AI models for cyber operations, per the *Financial Times*) are accelerating the deployment of dual-use systems. HAVELSAN’s move also mirrors Turkey’s strategic push to reduce reliance on foreign defense tech, following its development of indigenous drones and electronic warfare systems.

Gyorsan nő azok aránya, akik elhiszik, hogy egy zöldbefektetéssel jobban járhatnak Az utóbbi években a fegyvergyártó és olajipari cégekre érte meg a legjobban tenni, ám a „zöldalapokból ezeket elvben kizárják. A befektetőkben ma még nagyobb a hozaméhség, mint a felelősség; az online üzletelők a tudatosabbak.
