Türkiye’s leading defense company, ASELSAN, secured export contracts exceeding $1 billion in 2024, the highest in its history.
The company’s international expansion continued with the opening of new offices across multiple countries, reinforcing its strategy to meet ambitious targets for 2030.
ASELSAN reported a sharp rise in international sales, with direct exports doubling from the previous year to reach $217 million. Indirect exports through land, naval, and air platforms totaled $291 million, resulting in an overall export volume of $508 million. This growth underscores ASELSAN’s increasing presence in global defense markets.
In 2024, the company signed contracts with seven countries for the first time, bringing the total number of nations utilizing its technology to 92. Additionally, ASELSAN exported 31 new products, including the ASELFLIR-500 camera, GÖZDE and KGK guidance kits, CENK naval radars, and the FERSAH anti-submarine sonar. The ASELFLIR-500, designed for UAVs, saw strong international demand, with 16 countries acquiring the system in its first year of production.
To strengthen its market presence and enhance customer support, ASELSAN established offices in six new countries in 2024, increasing its footprint to 20 countries. These expansions aim to provide localized services and technical support to international clients.
ASELSAN also achieved a milestone in satellite technology by supplying the Ku-Band and X-Band LOCUS communication payloads for Türkiye’s first domestically produced communication satellite, TÜRKSAT-6A. This capability extends ASELSAN’s expertise in secure communication solutions across multiple domains, from underwater systems to space applications.
