Core offering

Kuartis builds AI-driven autonomous systems for defense and commercial applications, combining proprietary deep-learning and classical computer-vision software with MIL-STD-grade electronic hardware and FPGA-based embedded design. The company delivers three core product lines—Kılavuz (land-vehicle autonomy), Kaptan (maritime autonomy), and ISR (wide-area surveillance)—that share a sensor-agnostic perception stack across cameras, RADARs, and LIDARs. Solutions are deployable in server-side, edge, or hybrid configurations and target extreme environments such as blizzards, tropical storms, off-road terrain, and GPS-denied zones.

Product overview

Kuartis is a machine learning company founded in 2012 that builds software, hardware, and supporting infrastructure powering large-scale intelligent solutions. Their product portfolio centers on three core autonomous systems: Kılavuz (land autonomy for vehicles in challenging environments), Kaptan (maritime autonomy for naval systems), and ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance for wide-area surveillance). These products share core technology across AI-driven computer vision, sensor fusion, robotics, and embedded hardware systems, enabling machines to see, comprehend, and act autonomously across land, sea, and surveillance domains.

Partnerships

Seven partnerships are on record, tiered core and major.

• ASELSANcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerTurkish defense electronics company and one of Turkey's largest defense contractors. ASELSAN specializes in military communications, electronics, and defense systems. Partnership likely involves integration of Kuartis autonomy technology with defense platforms.
• HAVELSANcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerTurkish defense systems and software company. HAVELSAN provides simulation, defense IT, and command control systems. Partnership suggests collaboration on defense autonomous systems and ISR solutions.
• BMCcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerTurkish defense industry company specializing in armored vehicles and military transport vehicles. Partnership likely focuses on land autonomous systems integration for military vehicles.
• NVIDIAcoreTechnology or IntegrationGlobal technology leader in GPU computing and AI hardware. Partnership provides access to advanced AI computing platforms for Kuartis autonomous systems development and training.
• IntelmajorTechnology or IntegrationGlobal semiconductor technology company. Partnership may involve processor technologies for edge computing and embedded systems in autonomous platforms.
• TurkcellmajorTechnology or IntegrationTurkey's largest mobile telecommunications operator. Partnership likely involves communication technologies or data infrastructure for autonomous systems.
• SDTmajorTechnology or IntegrationTurkish defense technology company. SDT (Saha Savunma Teknolojileri) develops defense electronics and simulation systems.

Expansion highlights4 records

Others

• HAVELSAN: Turkish defense software/simulation/command-control systems house and Kuartis partner. Comparable in defense software and C4ISR software market positioning; serves the same Turkish defense customer base with adjacent rather than overlapping product lines.
• ASELSAN: Turkey's largest defense electronics company and one of Kuartis's core partners; supplies military communications, radar, EW, and electro-optic systems. Comparable in customer base (Turkish/Allied defense) and adjacent in capability (sensors, command-control), but operates at vastly larger scale as a prime rather than a software/autonomy sub-tier.

Direct peers

• Milrem Robotics: Estonian unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) company whose THeMIS and Type-X platforms integrate third-party autonomy stacks for defense forces. Closely comparable to Kuartis's Kılavuz land-autonomy offering and to its BMC/armored-vehicle partner ecosystem use cases.
• Sea Machines Robotics: Boston-based provider of autonomous command and control systems for commercial and naval surface vessels (SM300, SM200). Direct comparable to Kuartis's Kaptan maritime autonomy stack in both naval and commercial maritime use cases.
• Ghost Robotics: U.S. maker of quadruped unmanned ground robots (Vision 60, Spirit 40) deployed for defense perimeter security and reconnaissance. Comparable as an autonomy-focused ground platform vendor selling into defense/security customers, though Kuartis supplies the autonomy software layer rather than the platform.
• Saildrone: U.S. company building autonomous unmanned surface vessels for maritime domain awareness and ISR. Directly comparable to Kuartis's Kaptan maritime autonomy product and ISR offering in the defense and surveillance verticals.

Broad incumbents

• BAE Systems: Global defense prime with growing autonomy portfolio across autonomous ground vehicles and naval unmanned systems (e.g., autonomous combat vehicles, unmanned surface vessels). Comparable in defense-autonomy target market and naval/ground integration; operates at prime scale rather than autonomy-stack scale.
• Anduril Industries: U.S.-based autonomous defense systems company building AI-powered hardware/software platforms (Lattice OS, Ghost Helicopter, Dive-LD, Bolt). Directly comparable product mix (autonomy software, ISR, maritime, ground) and defense go-to-market, but at vastly larger scale and capital base than Kuartis.
• Thales Group: Global defense and aerospace prime with significant activity in autonomous maritime, unmanned systems, and ISR (e.g., unmanned surface vessels in Mine Countermeasures). Overlaps with Kuartis's Kaptan and ISR offerings as a much larger competitor/supplier to NATO navies.
• Boston Dynamics: Developer of advanced autonomous robots (Spot, Stretch, Atlas) for industrial, commercial, and defense applications. Overlaps with Kuartis on autonomous ground mobility and perception, though Boston Dynamics focuses on the robot platform itself and Kuartis on the autonomy stack.
