Date: Issue 103 - January 2021

Increasing the rate of indigenous products in the defense industry to 70%, Turkey has also made significant progress in overcoming the problems encountered during the test stages of defense products after TRTEST Test and Evaluation Inc. started its activities. Thanks to the inventory studies it has already carried out, TRTEST has acquired the necessary knowledge and inventory to domestically meet around 90% of the tests (MILSTD-212/461F/810G and DO-160/178/254) needed by defense industry companies for products with dimensions less than 1m³. Accordingly, to establish a national level Testing Center of Excellence (TCoE) that will serve all unmanned systems, TRTEST has put the Kalecik UAV Test and Evaluation Center, which has assigned airspace of 47.5 km long and 2 nautical miles wide, into service of the defense industry companies at the first stage. In the field of cybersecurity, "TRTEST Product Certificates" were given to 17 cybersecurity products in 11 product groups as a result of joint studies with the leading institutions of the sector. TRTEST's efforts to expand its certification activities, which started in the field of cybersecurity, continue without slowing down and now will also include the localized defense industry products.
