**Digital Troops: The Future of Battlefield Operations**
 A highlight of Havelsan’s
exhibition was the Digital Troops concept. This innovative approach envisions a 
seamless integration of unmanned systems and soldiers on the battlefield, enhancing
strategic decision-making and management through real-time data. Managed from a 
centralized command center, these systems facilitate coordinated operations, potentially
transforming the dynamics of future warfare.

**BAHA Subcloud UAV: Versatility in the Skies**
 The BAHA Subcloud UAV also took
center stage. This fixed-wing autonomous aircraft boasts vertical takeoff and landing
capabilities, powered by a petrol engine for horizontal flight and electric motors
for ascent and descent. With a service ceiling of 15,000 feet, the BAHA can endure
up to 6 hours on a petrol engine or 2 hours on electric power, covering distances
up to 80 km. Its design allows for rapid deployment and operation by a minimal crew.
