HAVELSAN has completed the software integration activities carried out on board 
TCG ANADOLU, Türkiye’s largest naval vessel, within the scope of the ADVENT Combat
Management System (CMS) and the FleetStar Ship Data Distribution System (SDDS). 
The integration, completed ahead of the Steadfast Dart 2026 Exercise, has operationally
validated HAVELSAN’s network-centric command and control architecture on a frontline
naval platform.

Developed by HAVELSAN in line with the operational experience and know-how of the
Turkish Naval Forces, the network-enabled ADVENT CMS and FleetStar provide naval
platforms with advanced command and control and data management capabilities. This
architectural framework enables the fusion of data collected from different sensors
and platforms into a single operational picture, significantly enhancing speed, 
coordination, and situational awareness in complex naval operations.

Within the scope of the integration, bi-directional data exchange between ADVENT
CMS and the Bayraktar TB3 unmanned aerial vehicle was successfully verified, enabling
the direct transfer of imagery and mission data from the UAV to the combat management
system. This capability shortens decision-making cycles in command and control processes,
while the modular architecture of FleetStar paves the way for the rapid and secure
integration of new platforms and capabilities into the system.

Thanks to the network-centric architecture of ADVENT CMS, data obtained from Bayraktar
TB3 is no longer limited to TCG ANADOLU alone, but can also be shared with other
naval assets within the task group. This structure strengthens inter-platform coordination
and interoperability by providing a holistic command and control approach in joint
naval operations.

Serving as the core command and control element of a warship, ADVENT CMS integrates
radar, sonar, weapon systems, and electronic warfare assets under a unified command
and control architecture, while FleetStar serves as the “nervous system” of this
structure by distributing sensor data to all relevant subsystems in real time with
high reliability and precision. As part of the integration on board TCG ANADOLU,
ADVENT CMS also calculates the relative position and approach geometry of the unmanned
aerial vehicle with respect to the ship in real time, contributing to a safe and
coordinated operational environment.

This achievement demonstrates the maturity of HAVELSAN’s holistic, network-centric
combat management approach, which brings manned and unmanned platforms together 
under a single digital operational architecture. The ADVENT and FleetStar architecture
offer a next-generation solution that addresses the interoperability, data fusion,
and network-centric warfare requirements of modern naval forces.
