BAYKAR owns all intellectual property of UAVs. Saudi Arabia will only gain expertise through local production.

The export of Bayraktar Akıncı UAVs to Saudi Arabia will bring about $4 billion in export revenues to the Turkish defence and aerospace industry. Several Turkish defence companies, such as ASELSAN and Roketsan, have been able to export their products thanks to the path opened up by BAYKAR.
