Turkiye Forms New Air Test Units for KAAN and HÜRJET TurDef
Dual activation of ARMERKOM and 403rd test Squadron at Mürted signals a major shift in indigenous air platform testing
The Turkish Ministry of National Defence has officially launched two new air force institutions aimed at boosting the nation’s flight test and R&D capabilities. The Turkish Air Force Commander has ordered the activation of the Air Force Research Centre Command (ARMERKOM / Air) and the 403rd Test Squadron at Mürted Air Base as of July 4, 2025. Turkiye's first ARMERKOM is set at Turkish Navy which resulted indiginous naval platforms and equipment.
The goal of this step is to make the Turkish Air Force more technologically advanced by making its flight-testing authority official and encouraging the integration of national mission systems into next-generation air platforms.
ARMERKOM is tasked with closely monitoring technological trends and operational requirements from contemporary international combat zones. Backed by advanced R&D and a strong engineering corps, the centre aims to shape the scientific groundwork for future air platforms, deliver prototypes, and conduct laboratory testing of mission-critical systems.
