ASELSAN signed a new contract worth 195 million dollars with the Presidency of Defense Industries. Deliveries will be completed between 2026-2028.
ASELSAN, the leading technology company of the Turkish defense industry, signed a new supply contract worth 195 million dollars with the Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB). The agreement, announced with the official notification made to the Public Disclosure Platform (KAP), covers the production of critical radar and air defense electronic components in line with the needs of the Turkish Armed Forces.
Local Solutions Are Becoming Widespread in the Integrated Radar Network
The 195 million dollar agreement signed between ASELSAN and the Presidency of Defense Industries directly increases the production capacity of early warning and target detection radars, especially used in border security and airspace surveillance.
These systems, based on advanced active phased array (AESA) technology, detect even targets with low radar cross-section from long range and provide instant data transfer to command and control centers.
In today's combat environment, where air threats change in nature and unmanned aerial vehicles are used extensively, the integration of radar networks with layered air defense architecture plays a vital role.
The systems to be produced under the new contract continue to be the eyes and ears of the Steel Dome and similar integrated sky shield projects that Turkey has recently accelerated.
Delivery Schedule and Operational Planning
The contract schedule aims to gradually enter the systems into the inventory and distribute them to operational units:
Delivery Process: Shipments within the scope of the signed contract are planned to be completed between 2026 and 2028.
Logistics and Maintenance: The agreement includes not only hardware delivery; It also includes software updates, spare parts support and integrated logistics services.
Compatibility with Common Architectures: The radar and communication modules to be produced are fully compatible with the domestic air defense missiles currently in the Turkish Armed Forces inventory.
Order Volume Grows, Foreign Dependency Decreases
This move, which increases the domestic supply rate in the defense industry, also directly contributes to ASELSAN's strong order book. While the company's remaining order volume maintains its record levels with the recently signed international and domestic projects, domestic prime contractor projects minimize embargo and supply chain risks in critical components.
The increasing share of domestic designs in radar, microwave modules and signal processing electronics every year facilitates the maintenance and maintenance of the systems in the field and provides the Turkish Armed Forces with an uninterrupted electronic warfare and early warning advantage.
