New Strategic Move in Mini Reconnaissance: STM Introduces TOGAN Mini

STM has introduced the newest and most compact member of its tactical UAV family, the TOGAN-M Mini Reconnaissance and Surveillance UAV System, for the first time at SAHA 2026 Fair. Distinguished by its sub-2.5 kg weight and foldable design, TOGAN-M offers a reliable reconnaissance and surveillance solution for both military and strategic civilian operations, powered by its proprietary, electronic-warfare-resistant software and a national data security architecture.

STM Savunma Teknolojileri Mühendislik ve Ticaret A.Ş., a pioneer of modern technologies within the Turkish defense industry, has brought a fresh perspective to the tactical reconnaissance and surveillance segment. Optimized for user requirements and distinguished by its military-grade security against civilian competitors, the TOGAN-M Mini Reconnaissance and Surveillance UAV System made its world debut at SAHA 2026, showcasing its high-resolution imaging and autonomous capabilities.

Güleryüz: Providing a Secure and Agile Intelligence Solution

Commenting on the capabilities of TOGAN-M, STM General Manager Özgür Güleryüz emphasized the operational speed the system provides to units in the field:

"The dynamics of the modern battlefield necessitate that our units gain situational awareness with extreme speed. TOGAN-M was specifically designed for agile units, featuring a setup time of under one minute and a compact structure that can be carried in a backpack by a single soldier. Its most significant differentiator from civilian counterparts is its electronic warfare resistance—equipped with STM’s indigenous national algorithms—and its 'closed-to-internet' architecture that prioritizes data security. Operating in full compatibility with military map overlays and coordinate systems, TOGAN-M offers a cost-effective solution that eliminates foreign dependency in both rural and urban operations."

Electronic Warfare Resistant and Fully Autonomous

TOGAN-M is capable of 24/7 uninterrupted surveillance via its 4K day and high-precision thermal (night) camera systems mounted on a 3-axis stabilized gimbal. Thanks to its frequency-hopping communication system, the UAV demonstrates high resistance against jamming. In the event of a link loss, it can continue seamless data transmission via an LTE connection that activates autonomously. Even in GNSS-denied (satellite-free) environments, the system can perform autonomous take-off and landing using its optical flow camera, and can be safely deployed across all challenging terrains for the autonomous detection and tracking of both stationary and moving targets.
