HAVELSAN and the Arab Organization for Industrialization (AOI) have signed an agreement for the sale of the HAMZA-1 UAV, which they jointly developed with vertical takeoff and landing capability. The first system developed through the cooperation, which followed the joint production agreement signed on August 26, 2025, was unveiled at EDEX 2025 in December 2025.
The program entered the commercial phase with the sales agreement signed at the El Alamein International Airshow 2026. HAMZA-1 is expected to be delivered to different users.
Why it matters
The sales agreement shows that the HAMZA-1 program has moved beyond the joint development and promotion stages into a commercial framework. This transition demonstrates that the cooperation between HAVELSAN and AOI has not remained merely a prototype or joint production effort, but has become a program with delivery targets. The development is of interest to observers monitoring the possibility of different users acquiring this system with vertical takeoff and landing capability, as well as the viability of similar partnership models. However, the announcement does not explain which users the deliveries will be made to, how the schedule will be determined, or the scope of the sale; these are the key questions awaiting answers in the next stage of the program.
