Abstract

In recent years, rapid technological developments in information and communication technologies have increased the strategic value of UAVs. In this study, the development processes in terms of UAV technology in Turkey and Russia and their integration into the civil and defense sectors are analyzed comparatively. The two countries have pursued alternative strategies in terms of geographical, industrial, and strategic environments and have invested heavily in UAV technology. This study aims to contribute to scientific studies by determining thematic trends, technological areas, and strategic priorities in terms of UAV studies and applications in both countries. Using bibliometric analysis techniques, annual publications, keyword analysis, and trends in cooperation networks were analyzed in terms of information obtained from the Scopus database between 2005-2025. According to the analysis, Russia focuses on military use of UAV technology and has developed significant improvements in terms of swarm control systems, energy efficiency, and secure communication. Turkey, on the other hand, supports domestic production in the defense sector as well as in civilian applications such as agriculture, disaster management, and infrastructure monitoring, and focuses on 5G integration with artificial intelligence-based optimizations. In this study, individual approaches of Türkiye and Russia in terms of UAV technology and their value in terms of international defense and sustainable development were emphasized and it was determined that UAV technology has a widespread potential in terms of both scientific and applicable studies.

Özet

Son yıllarda bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerindeki hızlı teknolojik gelişmeler, İHA'ların stratejik değerini artırmıştır. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye ve Rusya'da İHA teknolojisi açısından gelişim süreçleri ve bunların sivil ve savunma sektörlerine entegrasyonu karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz edilmiştir. İki ülke coğrafi, endüstriyel ve stratejik ortamlar açısından alternatif stratejiler izlemiş ve İHA teknolojisine büyük yatırımlar yapmıştır. Bu çalışma, her iki ülkede İHA çalışmaları ve uygulamaları açısından tematik eğilimleri, teknolojik alanları ve stratejik öncelikleri belirleyerek bilimsel çalışmalara katkıda bulunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bibliyometrik analiz tekniği kullanılarak, 2005-2025 yılları arasında Scopus veri tabanından elde edilen bilgiler açısından yıllık yayınlar, anahtar kelime analizi ve işbirliği ağlarındaki eğilimler analiz edilmiştir. Analize göre, Rusya'nın İHA teknolojisinin askeri kullanımına odaklandığı ve sürü kontrol sistemleri, enerji verimliliği ve güvenli iletişim açısından önemli iyileştirmeler geliştirdiği görülmektedir. Türkiye ise savunma sektörünün yanı sıra tarım, afet yönetimi ve altyapı izleme gibi sivil uygulamalarda yerli üretimi desteklemekte ve yapay zeka tabanlı optimizasyonlarla 5G entegrasyonuna odaklanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye ve Rusya'nın İHA teknolojisine ilişkin bireysel yaklaşımları ve uluslararası savunma ve sürdürülebilir kalkınma açısından değeri vurgulanmış olup, İHA teknolojisinin hem bilimsel hem de uygulanabilir çalışmalar açısından yaygın bir potansiyele sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir.
