The Mission Planning System (FSGP) developed by HAVELSAN will be exported to Spain together with the HÜRJET jet trainer aircraft. This development shows that the Turkish defence industry has opened a new door not only in platform exports but also in integrated national software exports. Within the scope of the contract signed by TUSAŞ, FSGP will strengthen HÜRJET's operational capabilities and will enter service with the Spanish Air Force in 2028.
HAVELSAN's FSGP System: 20 Years of Experience and Proven Performance in the Turkish Air Force
Developed by HAVELSAN since 2003 and actively used since 2007, FSGP stands out as a fully integrated national solution for the critical operational needs of the Turkish Air Force. Offering rich capabilities in mission planning, mission evaluation, and post-mission analysis processes, the system provides the ability to work under a single roof for different aircraft platforms and munitions in the inventory. Currently the main mission planning platform of the Turkish Air Force, FSGP has proven itself in the field with its ability to handle platform and mission diversity within a single system.
Within the scope of integration efforts for next-generation platforms, FSGP is planned to be activated for HÜRJET in the near future. Integration activities for the National Combat Aircraft KAAN are also successfully ongoing. HAVELSAN aims to support all these platforms with domestic and national resources in the future.
HÜRJET's Spain Export and Mass Production Process
While tests of HÜRJET, developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ), continue, mass production activities are also progressing intensively. While preparations for deliveries to the Turkish Air Force continue, HÜRJET achieved its first export success with the contract signed with Spain. The aircraft is planned to enter service in Türkiye in 2027 and in Spain in 2028. This agreement shows that HÜRJET is exported not just as a trainer aircraft but as an integrated training and operational systems package.
Full Mission and Flight Training Simulator for HÜRJET from HAVELSAN
HAVELSAN is also preparing the full mission and flight training simulator to support the effective use of HÜRJET. The simulator, which will be ready for delivery to the Turkish Air Force this year, will be exported to Spain together with HÜRJET. The simulators developed by the company will accelerate HÜRJET's operational readiness by providing a comprehensive infrastructure from pilot training to mission preparation. Thus, Spain will have a fully integrated training infrastructure shortly after receiving the aircraft.
FSGP's Technical Capabilities: Smart Solutions for Next-Generation Platforms
FSGP draws attention with its structure compatible with international standards. The system offers smart weapon mission planning, unmanned aerial vehicle mission planning, and control station capabilities together. It includes advanced features such as low observability management, electromagnetic emission planning, infrared search and track, next-generation data link, and network-enabled munition mission planning. Capable of effectively and reliably conducting multi-mission planning for manned and unmanned aerial vehicles with artificial intelligence support, FSGP plays a critical role in meeting the complex requirements of modern air operations.
Thanks to these capabilities, FSGP creates a strategic infrastructure not only for HÜRJET but also for future next-generation platforms. The system meets a significant portion of mission planning and data management needs by itself, providing operators with superior flexibility.
Turkish Defence Industry's Integrated Export Model and Future Perspective
The export of FSGP and the full mission simulator together with the HÜRJET project proves that the Turkish defence industry has successfully implemented the "platform + domestic software + training infrastructure" model internationally. As emphasised by HAVELSAN General Manager Mehmet Akif Nacar, the company's simulator software and data packages have now reached a capacity to be used in one of Europe's largest simulator production centres.
This export directly contributes to the air force modernisation of Spain, a NATO member country, while also certifying the competitiveness of the Turkish defence industry in the field of software and simulation on a global scale. It is stated that HÜRJET will be used under the name Saeta II in Spain and will be procured in quantities between 30 and 45 aircraft.
This success achieved by HAVELSAN with the FSGP system is a concrete indicator that the Turkish defence industry has risen to an exporting position not only in hardware but also in critical software technologies. The delivery of HÜRJET and its integrated systems to Spain is poised to open the door to new cooperation opportunities in the coming years.
