The İHA (UAV) unit at Ankara has no physical assets. It is the Command & Control (C2) center for the UAV assets across the country.

In December 2022 the Turkish Gendarmerie Aviation Directorate ordered three Cavalon Sentinel 915 iS AutoGyro, with an option of an additional five aircraft. The Cavalons serve in the İnsanlı Keşif Uçağı (İKU - Manned Reconnaissance Aircraft) role and will therefore be equipped with a camera system, necessary for its traffic control and public order flights which will be the main task.

The Jandarma operates the Mi-17-1V Hip-H in two different versions: one used for VIP transport and the remaining are used for troop transport, ambulance and assault duties.
