NEW ERA IN TURKISH AVIATION AND DEFENSE INDUSTRY
Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ), as one of the leading organizations in the Turkish aviation and defense industry, has set important production targets until 2034. In line with these targets, developing strategic partnerships with domestic solution partners is one of TUSAŞ's priority strategies. In this context, the strategic partnership protocol signed between TUSAŞ and TTAF Defense will further strengthen existing business relations and increase Türkiye's domestic production capacity in the defense industry.
IMPORTANCE OF STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP PROTOCOL
Founded in 2013, TTAF Defense has collaborated with TUSAŞ on many important projects to date. Its contributions to projects such as the T129 ATAK helicopter and the HÜRKUŞ training aircraft demonstrate TTAF Defense's strength in the sector. With the signed protocol, TTAF Defense's expertise in cable grouping, electromechanical system design and production will enable TUSAŞ to play a more active role in advanced technology projects.
STRONG COOPERATION ON KEY PROJECTS
TTAF Defense will accelerate the production processes of cables and electromechanical systems, especially in critical platforms such as the National Combat Aircraft KAAN, HÜRJET and GÖKBEY. This cooperation will not only increase cost effectiveness, but also increase the localization rate. The quality and reliability of TTAF Defense's production processes provide an important advantage to better respond to the needs of the Turkish Armed Forces.
QUALITY CONTROL PROCESSES AND RELIABILITY
TTAF Defense aims to increase the quality of its products by standardizing quality control processes such as test cabling, high voltage, insulation and continuity tests. The solutions it provides to platforms that have proven themselves in the field such as ATAK and HÜRKUŞ reinforce the reliability of the company. TTAF manufactures cables and electromechanical systems not only in the aviation field but also in many platforms such as armored land vehicles, unmanned air, land and sea systems.
STRENGTHENING NATIONAL PRODUCTION
This strategic partnership is considered a major step towards Türkiye’s goal of increasing its domestic and national defense production capacity. TTAF Defense’s technical expertise and production flexibility will make significant contributions to TUSAŞ’s advanced technology projects and enable the development of sustainable domestic solutions in the defense industry. In this context, producing material and engineering solutions that reduce external dependency will contribute to the strengthening of Türkiye’s defense industry.
FUTURE VISION
TTAF Defense General Manager Ergün İşgör, in his statement regarding this strategic partnership, emphasized that TUSAŞ is one of the most important organizations that shape Türkiye's technology vision. İşgör, who stated that it is a great source of pride for them to be involved in projects for many years, stated that the partnership will not only contribute to the supply chain, but will also allow them to take a more active role in design and production processes.
INCREASING LOCAL SOLUTION RATES
TTAF Defense will continue to contribute to the global competitive power of both TUSAŞ and the Turkish defense industry in the new period. With this strategic cooperation, it is aimed to increase domestic solutions, reduce costs and accelerate production processes. TTAF Defense aims to contribute to many defense projects both at home and abroad.
AS A RESULT
This strategic partnership between TAI and TTAF Defense symbolizes the beginning of a new era in the Turkish aviation and defense industry. The cooperation to be provided in advanced technology projects will increase Türkiye's domestic production capacity in the defense industry and increase its competitiveness on a global scale.
