ASELSAN is one of Turkey's largest defense contractors, primarily focused on developing advanced electronics, radar systems, and autonomous systems for military applications. The company serves both domestic Turkish Armed Forces and international customers, with significant capabilities in air defense, naval systems, and UAV technologies.
As a state-owned enterprise under the Turkish government, ASELSAN operates multiple facilities across Turkey and maintains partnerships with international defense firms for technology development and integration.
Founded in 1975 as a subsidiary of Turkish State Railways, ASELSAN evolved into an independent defense electronics manufacturer and has grown to become a major player in Turkey's defense industrial base, particularly expanding its UAV and autonomous systems divisions since the 2000s.
