New facilities and production development activities established for different needs within the Turkish defense industry will be supported by investment incentive mechanisms.

According to the information obtained by the AA correspondent, defense industry companies are making various investments to produce new products and improve existing production opportunities in order to meet the security needs of friendly and allied countries, especially Turkey. These investments are supported by investment incentive mechanisms.

In this context, it was decided to support the investment of Titra Technology, which operates in the fields of unmanned systems and artificial intelligence, in the field of aircraft and spacecraft manufacturing in Ankara-Kahramankazan in the "regional-priority investment" category.

Titra Teknoloji aims to produce 10 Alpine unmanned helicopters and 250 fixed wing kamikazes per year at the facility.

A resource of 45 million 650 thousand liras will be used for the said investment, and employment will be provided for 100 people.

With the incentive mechanism, support elements such as interest support, VAT exemption, employer's share of insurance premium for 7 years, tax reduction 80 percent, investment contribution rate 40 percent, and investment location allocation will be made available for investment.
