Air Defense Systems Competition

About the Competition

Air Defence Systems Competition is organised within the scope of TEKNOFEST Technology competitions.

Air Defence Systems play a very important role in today's military applications to ensure the security of the country. This defence task is carried out in a wide variety of ways against many different threats. When the recent developments in the world are followed, it has been proven many times that the air defence systems of countries should have sufficient equipment and capabilities as well as the strength of their air fleets.

In line with this need, our aim is to ensure that the development and production of air defence systems that will successfully perform the missions related to the scenarios given to the teams is spread to a wide base throughout the country, and to ensure the development of original, domestic and capable systems.

Higher education (associate, undergraduate and graduate) students studying in Türkiye or abroad can apply to the competition. Teams should consist of at least 3 and at most 15 people. (This number does not include the advisor) 

The evaluation stages of the competition are as follows;
  • Preliminary Design Report 
  • Critical Design Report
  • Mission Capability Demonstration Video
  • Final Evaluation Phase
Templates for the reports to be prepared by the competitors will be announced on the TEKNOFEST website at a later date.
