ROKETSAN artificial intelligence defense industry hackathon Edge AI

ROKETSAN has launched the LEVEL-UP AI Hackathon, an event designed to enhance artificial intelligence competencies within the defense industry. The competition features 72 young participants organized into six teams, who will spend 48 hours developing projects in specialized fields including Edge AI, machine learning, large language models, autonomy, and data science.

During the opening ceremony in Ankara, ROKETSAN Chairman Faruk Yiğit emphasized that artificial intelligence is a strategic capability capable of transforming the company’s entire value chain, from design and production to logistics and decision support systems. He noted that in the defense sector, where speed and reliability are critical, AI serves to enhance human decision-making capabilities.

ROKETSAN Deputy General Manager Mehmet Anıl Ünal added that modern defense strength is increasingly defined by data processing speed and autonomous decision-making abilities. The event includes theoretical training, panels, and workshops, concluding with the presentation of the ROKETSAN AI Award to winning teams.
