ASELSAN develops communication systems, electronic warfare solutions, air defence systems, radars, sensors, command-and-control systems and technologies for land, naval and air platforms. In recent years, the company has become one of the symbols of Türkiye’s growing defence-industrial independence and its increasing presence on international markets.
