Drawing attention with its lightness, scalable ballistic protection and modular design, NMS-L offers security forces a vehicle solution that can be configured according to different operational needs.
The vehicle developed by Nurol Makina will serve the security forces under the name YETİŞEN. The name of Infantry Commando Major Murat Kemal Yetişen, who was martyred on February 5, 2025, in the conflict with terrorists in the Claw-Lock Operation region in Northern Iraq, will be kept alive.
A similar choice was made for the 4x4 armored combat vehicle that the company had previously developed. The vehicle was named EJDER YALÇIN to keep alive the name of Hakkari Special Operations Branch Director Yalçın Dizdaroğlu, who was martyred in Hakkari Kırıkdağ on October 19, 2012.
NMS-L was introduced for the first time at the IDEF 2023 International Defense Industry Fair. The vehicle was exhibited for the first time at the SAHA 2026 Fair under the name YETİŞEN. Designed to meet the light class needs of the company's 4x4 tactical wheeled vehicle family, the platform combines protection, mobility and mission flexibility.
One of the most prominent features of the vehicle is the combination of scalable ballistic protection and lightweight structure. The ballistic protection structure, which can be scaled according to the NATO STANAG 4569 standard, allows the vehicle to be configured according to different threat levels and mission needs.
The vehicle, whose off-road mobility is supported by its fully independent suspension system, is designed to operate in difficult off-road conditions with its run-flat tires and central tire inflation system. YETİŞEN, which has a carrying capacity of up to five personnel, offers a layout that facilitates personnel entry and exit from the vehicle with its four side doors and a rear door.
One of the important features of the vehicle is that it can be carried suspended by CH-47 type helicopters. This capability will allow the vehicle to be transferred by air to different regions under appropriate operational conditions and to deliver troops to the areas where they are needed faster.
YETİŞEN is designed to operate at temperatures between -32 and +55 degrees. Optional equipment includes a remote-controlled weapon station, 360-degree environmental vision system, night vision support system and automatic fire extinguishing systems. These hardware allow the creation of different task configurations according to user needs.
More flexible task profile in the field
In YETİŞEN's design approach, the protected mobility required by security forces in different geographies and changing threat environments comes to the fore.
Light armored vehicles provide a different option between protection and mobility in operations that do not require the use of heavy-class armored platforms in every mission. YETİŞEN, which can be used especially in tasks such as reconnaissance, patrol, personnel transfer and transportation of weapon systems, can be adapted to different operational needs with its modular structure.
The light weight of the vehicle and its ability to be transported by helicopter are among the factors that can provide advantages in missions where land transportation is limited or where troops need to be transferred to a different region in a short time. The scalable protection structure allows users to determine the appropriate configuration according to the mission profile and threat assessment.
In Nurol Makina's product family, YETİŞEN meets the need in the light class as a complement to heavier armored vehicles. Thus, a land platform family that can be diversified according to mission requirements with vehicles of different weights and protection levels is created.
Nurol Makina also developed a new generation electric configuration of the vehicle.
Export negotiations continue
In addition to the security needs in Türkiye, the demand for light armored vehicles in the international market also comes to the fore in the development of YETİŞEN. For countries that need lightly protected vehicles, the platform is considered as a solution that can provide an alternative to unprotected or limited-protected vehicles.
It is stated that Nurol Makina is conducting export negotiations with different countries for YETİŞEN and that the vehicle is evaluated according to the needs of potential users in various markets.
The experience gained by the company from the 4x4 armored vehicles previously exported to different countries forms an important basis in presenting YETİŞEN to international markets. The platform's lightness, modularity and air transportability are among the features that can be highlighted for users with different mission concepts.
With YETİŞEN entering the use of security forces in Türkiye, the start of the operational use of the vehicle is also important in terms of evaluating the user experience and interest in the international market in the future.
