The first visual lighting system in Turkey for helicopter planting (Hegi̇das) was commissioned as part of the export corvette project.
The system is jointly developed by Turkish companies STM (Savunma Teknolojileri Mühendislik Ve Ticaret A.ş.) and Berkin Savunma Sanayi Mühendislik Ticaret aş.
hegi̇das was integrated into a corvette export project, implemented under the general contractor STM.
Hegi̇das system, used on surface ships, was still supplied from abroad. In 2023, it was localized from STM.
hegi̇das will be involved in three corvettes as part of the Malezya Korvet project, and in Turkey on the 6-12th class of class Mi̇lgem İstif Sınıfı. Thus, hegi̇das will function in total on 12 different platforms.
