History

[edit]

Aselsan was founded by the Turkish Army Foundation in 1975 after US's decision to put an embargo on Turkey due to Cyprus Operation.[2] The first CEO of ASELSAN was M. Hacim Kamoy.[2]

In early 1979, following an investment (for example, card payment systems),[3] and infrastructure establishment period, ASELSAN started its production, at Macunköy facilities in Ankara.[2] Since then, ASELSAN has expanded its product and customer portfolio, mostly based on indigenous research and development, locally trained personnel, and in cooperation with other Turkish research institutions and universities.

Organization

[edit]

ASELSAN designs, develops and manufactures modern electronic systems for military and industrial customers in Turkey and abroad. The company headquarters is located at Macunköy facilities in Ankara, Turkey. According to the field of activities, ASELSAN has been organized in five business sectors:[4]

Aselsan military communication devices
  • Communication and Information Technologies Business Sector (HBT),
  • Microelectronics, Guidance and Electro-Optics Business Sector (MGEO),
  • Radar and Electronic Warfare Systems Business Sector (REHIS),
  • Defense Systems Technologies Business Sector (SST),
  • Transportation, Security, Energy and Automation Systems Business Sector (UGES).

The HBT, REHIS, SST and UGES sectors have high-technology and automated infrastructure in engineering and production at Macunköy facilities. Electronic production includes surface mount technology, multilayer and flexible printed circuit boards, mechanical and mould productions, system integration and test fields. While the HBT sector's main product spectrum covers military and professional communications systems, REHIS sector's main operations are focused on radar, electronic warfare and SST sector's main operations are focused on command-control systems. The MGEO sector manufactures hybrid microelectronic circuits, night-vision devices, thermal cameras, laser ranger/designators and inertial navigation systems at Akyurt facilities.

In all business sectors, methodologies complying with military standards and ISO 9001 are applied using computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technologies.

ASELSAN is a member of TÜMAKÜDER[5] and IPC.[6]
