Which low level programming language is used by Turkish defense companies for their aircraft projects such as ANKA and future TFX. I am guessing ADA or C(++) but cannot find information. ADA seems on the rise for military hardware
Should be public info given that they have to recruit developers and state the required language knowledge.
Critical addiction in defense ends

STM lifted the dependence on GPS in determining the location of helicopters, planes and UAVs.
A global solution has been developed to create an alternative to the Global Positioning System (GPS) that provides precise location information to platforms such as helicopters, aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and to terminate the critical dependency in this area. TerraFlite named product which removes the weaknesses of GPS is expected to start hanging in helicopters of Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) inventory in a short time.
Defense Technologies and Engineering Inc. (STM), which provides services to TSK and the Undersecretary of Defense Industry in the areas of system engineering, technical support, project management, technology transfer and logistic support services, analyzes the needs well and produces solutions for them.
Engineers working at STM, responding to the need to precisely know their position on the air platforms of the armed forces and the safety forces, finalized their R & D work with a product.
GPS devices that provide the location information needed for such vehicles may experience performance loss or become unusable due to adverse weather conditions or external electronic interference. As a result, there are situations where the aircraft can not perform its duty and even falls.
THE FIRST VERSION FOR HELICOPTERS
STM initiated the R & D project in 2012 with the financial support of TUBITAK and the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering of Ankara University in order to respond to this need. In this context, the international academic literature entered the study while the aircraft developed an algorithm for locating its own position without GPS and was internationally successful.
STM, which completes the prototype at the end of the R & D project and meets the costs for the university-industry business association on its way to productive production from its own resources, is the latest technology to produce precise position information for aircraft in situations where GPS is not working with "Precision Positioning System for TerraFlite Air Vehicles" The first version of the product was developed for helicopters.
One of the most important pieces of information for a warfare platform is knowing where the platform is at any moment during the operation. GPS system is still used for this purpose. There are serious threats and weaknesses in action on examples of whether this method used in peace conditions can be used in war conditions or not.
GPS allows positioning using satellite signals. As the number of satellites increases, the position accuracy increases. However, these signals can be suppressed by technological possibilities, the contents of the signal can be changed. In addition, GPS is not among the national solutions that have the key in Turkey.
LIKE A FLASHLIGHT TO BE USED WHEN ELECTRICS IS OUT
TerraFlite generates accurate position information for position and height by processing the data of the basic avionic devices on the aircraft when GPS is not available. TerraFlite, which has been introduced in the danger of being deceived by a non-national service such as GPS, intentionally interrupted in the crisis and war environment, or providing false position information, continues to give accurate position information to Pilot.
In critical times, a vital task will be undertaken for the TerraFlite "hand power to be used when electricity cuts" is simulated.
AIR VERSION IS READY, LAND VERSION IS ON THE ROAD
It is expected that the first product, which comes to the end of the technological preparatory level and completely ready for the raft, is to start hanging in the helicopters of the TSK inventory this year, watching helicopters, UAVs and warplanes.
There is also a very active activity for land vehicles. The engineering experience gained from studies on aircraft was transferred to this area. It is aimed to introduce a product that can be used in land vehicles at the end of the year, while negotiations for a similar solution are made with potential national collaborations for armored and palletized vehicles.

Nurol Makina, 13 Mart’ta yayınladığı basın bülteni ile 4×4 Taktik Tekerlekli Zırhlı Araç (TTZA) EJDER YALÇIN’ın satışını konu alan bir sözleşmeyi, ismi gizlilik nedeniyle açıklanmayan bir Kuzey Afrika ülkesi ile imzaladığını duyurdu.
Böylece EJDER YALÇIN, ilk ihracat başarısını yakalamış oldu. Bu başarı, aracın, geçtiğimiz aylarda gerçekleştirilen uzun soluklu çöl testlerini geçmesinin ardından geldi. Basın bülteninde, Nurol Makina’nın, sözleşme kapsamında, kapsamlı bir entegre lojistik destek paketini, söz konusu ülkenin hizmetine sunacağı ve teslimatın kısa zaman içerisinde başlamasının planlandığı bilgisi de yer aldı.
Nurol Makina Genel Müdürü Engin Aykol, konu ile ilgili olarak şunları söyledi: “Uzun süren gayret ve çabalarımız sonucunda EJDER YALÇIN aracımız için ilk kez bir ihracat sözleşmesine imza atma başarısını elde ettik. Yurt içinde kendini kanıtlamış bir araç olan EJDER YALÇIN, artık yurt dışında da önemli görevler üstlenecek. Nurol Makina olarak, bunun haklı gururunu yaşıyoruz. Tabii bizim için önemli olan bu başarıyı devam ettirmek ve diğer pazarlara da aracımızı ihraç etmek. Mühendislik kabiliyetimiz ve Ar-Ge imkânlarımız ile yurt içinde ve yurt dışında güvenlik birimlerinin ve orduların hizmetine rakipsiz çözümler sunmayı sürdüreceğiz.”
