Türkiye's defense giant Aselsan has signed a 780 million euros ($905 million) contract with the Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB) for the procurement of air defense systems, the company said on Tuesday.
In a statement, Aselsan said the agreement covers systems aimed at strengthening the country’s air defense capabilities.
The contract is expected to contribute to Türkiye’s Steel Dome, a multilayered air defense architecture developed under SSB coordination as a domestic "system-of-systems" project covering all air defense components.
Steel Dome is designed to neutralize aerial threats across all altitudes and ranges.
The system includes multiple layers, ranging from cost-effective low-altitude defense elements against drone swarms and kamikaze unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to systems such as Korkut and Gurz, as well as radars operating at different altitudes.
