UEKAE, which was founded in 1972, conducts research in many different fields, especially in the fields of electronics and cryptology, in line with its founding purpose, and develops innovative solutions and advanced technologies that will contribute to the scientific and technological progress of our country. The Institute, which ensures the highest level of security in communication with the devices it produces in the field of communication, has also achieved very important successes in the field of National Defense with the domestic and national technologies it produces in the fields of electro-optics and lasers.

Critical technological devices and systems in many different fields addressing both civilian and military needs, such as more than 750 devices that have been widely used in the prevention of fuel smuggling nationwide since 2007, as well as optical-based document inspection devices used in the prevention of document forgery and exported to 15 countries, and detection devices in the CBRN field, are also developed in the laboratories of UEKAE. In this context, the first national crypto device, for which studies are being carried out with the approval of the Ministry of National Defense, was also produced by the Institute.

In line with its mission and vision, the Institute continues to play a pioneering role in transferring the know-how it has acquired in critical technological fields to the future as a national asset through its pioneering activities in these fields and its R&D activities involving many disciplines.
