TÜBİTAK 1512 (Project No.: 2170630) - BUYAN Self-Sealing Composite Coating
This TÜBİTAK 1512 (BiGG)–supported project focuses on the development of an indigenous self-sealing composite ballistic coating designed to protect military fuel tanks against ballistic penetration and shrapnel damage. The coating is engineered with a multi-layer sandwich composite architecture that enables rapid autonomous sealing of penetration holes, preventing fuel leakage and reducing fire and explosion risks.
The BUYAN composite coating integrates elastomer layers with liquid and solid polymer systems, allowing the material to react, expand, and seal damage within seconds after impact. Its modular and field-applicable designeliminates the need for complex robotic application systems, enabling on-site installation, maintenance, and repair without removing the fuel tank.
By combining advanced material engineering, lightweight composite structures, and optimized self-healing mechanisms, the project delivers a domestic, scalable, and export-ready protection solution for military land vehicles, fuel tankers, and future aviation fuel systems, reducing foreign dependency in critical defense technologies.
TÜBİTAK 1507 (Project No.: 7200115) - BUYAN Self-Sealing Ballistic Hybrid Coating
This TÜBİTAK 1507–supported project focuses on the development of a next-generation self-sealing ballistic hybrid coating designed to protect fuel tanks and fluid-carrying structures against combat-induced damage. The coating is engineered to automatically seal ballistic penetrations, preventing fuel leakage and reducing fire and explosion risks in hostile environments.
The BUYAN hybrid architecture combines layered elastomer and polymer-based composite structures, achieving STANAG 4569 Level III ballistic protection while maintaining low areal weight and flexible applicability on complex and curved surfaces. Unlike conventional solutions, the system is optimized for field application, wide climate operability (−20 °C to +50 °C), and serial production readiness.
The project delivers a domestic, export-ready ballistic protection solution that enhances platform survivability for military vehicles, fuel tankers, and aviation fuel systems, while reducing foreign dependency in critical defense technologies.
TÜBİTAK 1501 (Project No.: 3220896) - Composite-Based Self-Sealing Ballistic Fuel Tank
This TÜBİTAK 1501–supported project focuses on the development of a next-generation composite fuel tank integrated with self-sealing ballistic protection for military land platforms. The solution replaces conventional metal fuel tanks with a lightweight composite structure, achieving up to 30% weight reduction while maintaining high survivability.
The fuel tank is designed to automatically seal ballistic penetrations, preventing fuel leakage and reducing fire and explosion risks under combat conditions. Engineered to withstand 7.62×51 mm armor-piercing threats (NIJ Level IV)and compliant with MIL-STD-810G environmental standards, the system enhances vehicle mobility, endurance, and crew safety.
By combining advanced composite manufacturing techniques with indigenous self-healing ballistic coating technology, the project delivers a domestic, export-ready solution for armored vehicles and military fuel systems.
TÜBİTAK 1507 (Project No.: 7240715) - Ballistic Self-Sealing Flexible Fuel Tank for UAVs
This TÜBİTAK 1507–supported project focuses on the design and manufacturing of a ballistic self-sealing flexible fuel tank specifically optimized for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
Building upon TULPAR’s proven self-healing ballistic coating technologies, the project adapts these capabilities to a lightweight, flexible fuel tank architecture compliant.
The developed fuel tank is engineered to automatically seal ballistic penetrations, prevent fuel leakage, and significantly reduce fire and explosion risks during hostile or emergency scenarios. With reduced thickness and areal weight, the solution enhances UAV flight endurance, survivability, and operational safety, while supporting domestic and international defense aviation platforms.
ISDB Transformers 2018 – Self-Repairing Advanced Coating for Water Infrastructure
This ISDB Transformers–supported project focuses on the development of a self-repairing advanced coating designed to protect water reservoirs, irrigation channels, and pipeline systems against leakage, corrosion, and structural degradation. The coating automatically seals cracks and punctures upon contact with water, preventing water loss and contamination while extending the service life of critical water infrastructure.
Engineered for rapid application on complex geometries, the solution provides long-term protection against environmental and mechanical damage, significantly reducing maintenance costs and downtime. By minimizing leakage, the technology enables up to 20% water savings, ensuring efficient irrigation, uninterrupted water supply, and improved water security, particularly in regions facing water scarcity.
The project delivers a scalable, field-applicable, and export-ready solution aligned with SDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation, supporting sustainable water management for agricultural, industrial, and municipal applications.
