Giant hybrid air defense system contract worth 2.46 billion euros from ASELSAN

ASELSAN is undertaking a huge project that will strengthen its air defense capabilities. New contracts worth 2 billion 460 million euros covering the supply of Hybrid Air Defense Systems were signed between the company and the Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB).

This development, which was announced with the notification made to the Public Disclosure Platform (KAP), is recorded as one of the highest volume domestic agreements made by the company in a single item.

What Do Hybrid Air Defense Systems Bring?

The hybrid air defense architecture, which is at the focal point of the signed contract, directly responds to the changing threat perception of the modern battlefield. System; It creates a layered defense shield by combining barreled weapons and missile systems under a single roof.

Thanks to this structure, cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV/SIHA) and precision-guided munitions coming from low and medium altitudes can be destroyed much more cost-effectively and with a high accuracy rate.

Equipped with advanced radar integration, electro-optical targeting systems and artificial intelligence-supported fire control algorithms, hybrid systems undertake point defense of critical facilities and mobile units. The system, which fires missiles or particle ammunition depending on the type of threat, also prevents wastage of ammunition.

Giant Contracts Signed Recently

ASELSAN's attack in the field of air defense is not limited to this agreement. The company has been implementing critical delivery contracts one after another, especially in recent weeks, both in the domestic and export markets:

Hybrid Air Defense Procurement (SSB): 2 billion 460 million euros

Long Range System Mass Production (SSB): 1 billion 8 million 500 thousand euros

International Air Defense Exports: 488.5 million euros

Order Book Gets Stronger, Steel Dome Becomes Concrete

The mass production contract worth over 1 billion euros and the export move worth 488.5 million euros abroad for Long Range Air Defense Systems recently signed reveal ASELSAN's financial and operational momentum.

The total size of air defense agreements announced in the last two weeks has exceeded 3.9 billion euros.

All these projects constitute the building blocks of the "Steel Dome" vision, planned as Turkey's layered air defense network. The integration of domestic radars, command control networks and hybrid intercept platforms aims to completely end foreign dependency in airspace security.
