ASELSAN continues to strengthen its role in defense and advanced technology with three major investments totaling $616 million, included in the “Project-Based Investment Incentives (Super Incentive)” by the Turkish Ministry of Industry and Technology.
The company will receive various forms of support, including grant support related to R&D collaborations with TÜBİTAK and relevant institutes, qualified personnel support, employer's share of insurance premiums support and other similar incentives. The incentives, presented by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in the 2030 Industrial and Technology Strategy and Large-Scale Investments launch event cover:
- Photon Detector and Nanotechnology Facility Investment
- Radar System Integration and Production Facility Investment
- Air Defense Systems Production and Test Facility, Smart Munition Production Facility Investment
In these facilities, a substantial portion of the radar, sensor, electronics for smart munitions and air defense technologies that make up the STEEL DOME system, one of the most critical areas for our country’s security, will be produced.
Photon Detector and Nanotechnology Facility will focus on photon detectors, inertial sensors, military displays, and optical thin-film coating.
Radar System Integration and Production Facility will be designed for radar technologies and seeker head systems.
Meanwhile, Air Defense Systems Production & Test Facility and Smart Ammunition Production Facility will support strategic air and missile defense systems and smart munitions. These facilities will enable the company to respond more quickly to the growing export demand for these technologies, making ASELSAN a more competitive player on global scale.
Within the scope of these three investments, valued at 616 million USD, a total of 2,244 new employment, including 1,672 qualified personnel, are planned. With these investments, ASELSAN will achieve a significant increase in production capacity for high-volume serial production of critical technologies, and new R&D infrastructures will be established.
ASELSAN will continue to grow in a qualified manner by utilizing its own resources, establishing new R&D infrastructures within the scope of projects, benefiting from public incentives, and utilizing suitable financing models provided for large-scale investments.
