Phase I test of this integration in a laboratory environment has been successfully completed, and Phase II activities are now progressing across various systems, stated the company.

Beyond maintenance support, MAIN will enhance operational decision-making by providing real-time recommendations to commanders.

The AI-driven capabilities being introduced include threat identification and classification, anomaly detection, navigation safety, situational awareness, and intelligent training simulation support.

These features utilise advanced technologies such as big data analytics, machine learning, image recognition, and large language models.

Havelsan developed ADVENT Combat Management System in collaboration with the Turkish Naval Forces Research Center Command.

The company said that the ADVENT system is deployed in nine countries. The system enhances accuracy and decision-making as well as optimising the human–machine collaboration in the defence and security domain.
