Türkiye's Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloglu announced the successful completion of testing for the National Surveillance Radar (MGR) - Mode-S SSR, Türkiye’s first domestically developed civil air surveillance radar.
The system, created entirely by Turkish engineers, is set to become operational by the first quarter of 2025 following integration with air traffic control systems.
The deployment of MGR represents a major milestone in Türkiye’s efforts to reduce reliance on foreign technologies and strengthen its domestic aviation infrastructure. The system aims to enhance the efficiency, safety, and independence of the country’s air traffic control operations, further supporting Türkiye’s vision of becoming a leader in aviation technology.
This radar represents a turning point in Türkiye’s national and domestic production efforts. By increasing efficiency and reducing foreign dependency, MGR demonstrates Türkiye’s determination to lead in aviation technology

Türkiye plans to roll out the MGR system across the country, ensuring full monitoring of its 1 million square kilometer airspace using indigenous technology. This initiative aligns with Türkiye’s broader strategy to strengthen its aviation capabilities and meet international standards. Additionally, the potential export of MGR highlights the country’s growing role in the global aviation industry.
