ASELSAN received a $616 million super incentive for radar, sensors, smart ammunition electronics and air defence technologies for Steel Dome production.
ASELSAN briefly stated the following in its statement to the Public Disclosure Platform:
Three critical investments that will strengthen our country's independence in the fields of defence and advanced technology have been included under the Project Based Investment Incentive (Super Incentive) programme by the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Industry and Technology.
Today, our incentive certificates were presented at the "2030 Industrial and Technology Strategy and Large-Scale Investments" launch event, held under the auspices of our Esteemed President."
The investments that have qualified for incentives are as follows:
Photon Detector and Nanotechnology Facility Investment
Radar System Integration and Production Facility Investment
Air Defence Systems Production and Test Facility, Smart Munition Production Facility Investment
These three investments, valued at 616 million USD, are planned to create 2,244 new jobs, including 1,672 qualified personnel.
With these investments, ASELSAN will significantly increase production capacity for high-volume serial production of critical technologies, whose export value per kilogramme is well above the average of Türkiye and the defence industry, and new R&D infrastructures will be established. In these facilities, a substantial portion of the radar, sensor, and electronics for smart munitions and air defence technologies that make up the Steel Dome system, one of the most critical areas for our country's security, will be produced. These facilities will enable us to respond more quickly to the growing export demand for these technologies, making ASELSAN a more competitive player on a global scale.
Within the incentive's scope, ASELSAN 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 premium support, and other similar incentives.
ASELSAN will continue to grow in a qualified manner by utilising its own resources, establishing new R&D infrastructures within the scope of projects, benefiting from public incentives, and utilising suitable financing models provided for large-scale investments.
