SSM R&D Projects Signing Ceremony

In order to achieve the goal of allocating 3% to R&D within the scope of Turkey’s ambitious 2023 vision, a decision was made to hold an R&D panel by the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries (SSM) and to this end the very first SSM panel on R&D took place on 22 December 2016 with the participation of the shareholders of the industry. At the R&D panel of SSM, decisions were made on launching projects required for the Turkish Armed Forces’ (TAF) existing or planned systems and platforms or projects on new technology areas. Wide area paging for projects consisting of technical projection which at the same time do not contain end product delivery were also decided to be accomplished. As a result of these decisions, and in order to negotiate the issues discussed, the parties met three times within 2017 and decided to launch 22 projects and make wide area paging (SAGA) in six areas. Within this scope, the contracts of 14 projects, the preparatory studies of which were finalized, were signed on 26 January 2018 at a ceremony with the participation of the Undersecretary for Defense Prof. İsmail Demir. The contract model of the projects was built on the cooperation between SME- Industry- University and 11 universities including the Anatolian universities and 3 TÜBITAK institutes will be taking part as either main contractors or sub-contractors. As a result of these projects that aim to transfer know-how and technology to industry and to transform the technology into products by the industry, with a focus on acquiring the technology and components required by the platforms and main system projects’ sub systems such as military radios, public security broad band communication network, intelligence systems. Especially with the local production of the critical material utilized in aerospace applications, Turkey’s foreign dependency in this area will be reduced significantly and critical material in destruction technologies will be manufactured uniquely. Moreover, through the development and domestic manufacturing of semi-conductive components utilized by radar applications, the capabilities of radars will be increased, thus enabling one of the most crucial technologies required for their total national production would be acquired. In addition, technological activities required to render underwater communication of the military units more secure will be accomplished. The R&D projects with signed contracts are as follows: SDN and NFV Based 5G Evolved Package Core Development (ÇINAR) This project will be conducted as part of the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries’ technology acquisition road map, under the contractor ship of ULAK A.Ş, and Aselsan and Argela will be the sub-contractors.
