From Türkiye
to the World

ULAQ is a Türkiye-based developer and manufacturer of combat-proven unmanned surface vessels and autonomous maritime technologies, delivering high-end solutions to allied stakeholders worldwide.

Why ULAQ

We believe maritime technology projection in the 21st century demands platforms that combine autonomy, flexibility, and affordability — without compromise. That conviction drives every decision we make, from hull design to command architecture.

Core Values

Rooted in the historical legacy of the "Ulaq"—the trusted envoy of ancient states—ULAQ Global carries this tradition into the digital age. Born from years of field-tested engineering excellence, we have evolved from a pioneering Turkish venture into a global provider of autonomous maritime solutions. We don’t just build vessels; we empower nations with the next generation of strategic intelligence and maritime resilience.

01

Combat Readiness

Every platform we design is engineered to perform in the most demanding operational environments. From Sea State 5 sea conditions to electronic warfare, ULAQ vessels are built for real-world combat, not test ranges.

02

Technological Sovereignty

ULAQ platforms are designed and manufactured in Türkiye with a 90% domestic content rate. Our commitment to national technology independence ensures our partners receive systems free from third-party supply chain risk.

03

Allied Interoperability

All ULAQ systems are built to NATO standards, including STANAG 4817 command and control compliance. Our platforms integrate seamlessly into allied task groups, enabling coordinated multi-domain operations from day one.
