15 of our students from various engineering disciplines within the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences and the Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University participated in the Drone/Gözükara Team Competition (BIMDTC 2026 Turkey) event held on Thursday, October 22.
Within the scope of the program, our students followed on-site the international competition stage where teams from 32 different countries, including Turkey, competed fiercely with the unmanned aerial vehicles they developed. Closely observing the flight performances and autonomous mission executions of the competing teams, our students enthusiastically supported the Turkish teams representing our country from the stands.
Hosted and coordinated by the Turkish Armed Forces throughout the event, our students came together with the leading companies of our defense industry, finding the opportunity to directly examine domestic and national defense technologies, engineering projects, and current field applications.
We would like to express our gratitude to all institutions and stakeholders who contributed, especially the esteemed personnel of our Turkish Armed Forces, for their close interest, guidance, and high-level hospitality shown to our students in this organization, which reinforces theoretical engineering education with current technological capabilities in the field and provides an international vision.
