CSG group to showcase its products and projects at SAHA EXPO 2026
The international defence and aerospace exhibition SAHA EXPO, held every two years, will take place in Istanbul, Türkiye, from May 5 to 9. At this prestigious event, products of the technology-industrial CSG group will be presented through its companies Excalibur Army, MSM Group, Excalibur International, AviaNera Technologies, as well as Tatra Export, which represents the Tatra Trucks company on international markets.
Excalibur International is an integrator of comprehensive projects for CSG group companies and their partners, focusing on turnkey system solutions, logistics processes, and project financing in the defence industry. At SAHA EXPO 2026 in Istanbul, it will present to experts and visitors a wide range of international projects – both ongoing and in preparation – through detailed electronic presentations and via its business representatives. The company has already completed numerous successful projects in the Middle East and has built a strong base of customers and business partners. Recently, it signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Turkish company Aselsan to establish a joint venture based in the European Union and jointly introduced the Korkut air defence system integrated onto a Tatra wheeled platform.
Excalibur Army will also showcase its products through models, presentations, and augmented reality software. Its main offerings currently include the Morana and Dita 155 mm NATO-standard self-propelled artillery systems. In addition, it will present the RM-70 Vampire rocket artillery system and the Patriot 4x4 armored vehicle, which is used by armed forces as well as rescue and firefighting units. The company will also introduce engineering and support vehicles such as the AM-70 EX and AM-50 EX bridge-laying vehicles, the TREVA-30 recovery and evacuation vehicle, and the DECON decontamination vehicle, all built on Tatra chassis.
Tatra Export will present a comprehensive portfolio of vehicles from all Tatra Trucks model lines designed for military use. Visitors will be able to explore the features and performance of Tatra Force, Tatra Tactic, and Tatra Phoenix vehicles through virtual reality. All three model lines are already in service with armed forces around the world, including in Türkiye and across the Middle East. The main highlights will include the new third generation of Tatra Force vehicles and the modernized Tatra Tactic model line.
MSM Group, which brings together several manufacturers, will showcase a full range of modern medium- and large-calibre ammunition. In Istanbul, experts will be able to explore a broad portfolio from companies such as VOP Nováky, Fábrica de Municiones de Granada, ZVS, and ZVI. The display will include 155 mm and 105 mm artillery ammunition, training artillery rounds in 155 mm calibre, 120 mm tank ammunition, and 30 mm cannon ammunition. Models of mortar rounds in 60 mm, 81 mm, and 120 mm calibres – commonly used within NATO – will also be presented, along with pyrotechnic components. MSM Group companies will additionally showcase propellant charges, fuzes, initiation units, and more.
AviaNera Technologies, closely linked to Excalibur International, will also be exhibiting at the CSG stand. The company specializes in the development, production, and sale of small engines for unmanned systems. In Istanbul, it will present its compact jet and turbofan engines designed for modern weapons platforms such as cruise missiles, target drones, and anti-ship missiles. These engines are highly reliable, feature compact installation dimensions, and offer very low fuel consumption, enabling long range at high subsonic speeds. Company representatives will also introduce other propulsion units under development and outline strategic development projects from its portfolio.
