Accelerate Defense Modernization through Strategic Sourcing
Discover cutting-edge solutions from leading global suppliers
ASELSAN, Türkiye’s leading defense company, presented its integrated multi-domain defense portfolio at the EUROSATORY 2026 exhibition.
The showcase highlighted advanced capabilities spanning the air, land, maritime, and electromagnetic domains. Along with featuring its latest technology systems, the company finalized two strategic agreements aimed at expanding international defense cooperation and enhancing system interoperability across allied defense ecosystems.
A primary focus of the display was DRONEDEF, an integrated counter-UAV concept that serves as a component of ASELSAN’s Steel Dome layered air defense architecture. The DRONEDEF system combines the İHTAR anti-drone system, the GÖKBERK laser weapon system, the KORKUT 100/25 SB anti-drone weapon system, and the EJDERHA high-power electromagnetic anti-UAV system. Together, these platforms provide complementary hard-kill, directed-energy, and electromagnetic effects designed to counter evolving drone threats.
ASELSAN also featured several other multi-domain operational technologies. These included the KALKAN II/M vehicle-mounted mobile search radar, the KORAL AD mobile radar electronic warfare system, the TOLUN family of precision-guided munitions, and the KILIÇ family of autonomous underwater vehicles.
To strengthen its international footprint, ASELSAN signed two separate agreements during the event. The company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Daimler Truck to explore opportunities for integrating ASELSAN payloads and systems onto Mercedes Benz Truck branded Daimler Truck platforms. The collaboration is intended for future participation in air defense and electronic warfare programs, establishing a framework for joint marketing and business development activities for mutually agreed customers. Koluman, acting as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for Daimler Truck in Türkiye, will support the implementation of this cooperation.
Additionally, ASELSAN signed a Letter of Intent with VIC TEC, a Latvia-based uncrewed surface vessel (USV) platform and interceptor drone manufacturer. This partnership aims to enhance Latvia’s counter-UAS capabilities in the area of detectors and effectors, while deepening the defense partnership between the two nations.
Ahmet Akyol, ASELSAN President & CEO, said, “ASELSAN’s counter-UAV, precision-strike, electronic warfare and autonomous systems continue to attract strong interest from armed forces around the world, underscoring the growing need for integrated and operationally proven defense capabilities,
“Our presence at EUROSATORY 2026 reflects both the breadth of our technology portfolio and the strength of our international partnerships. Through the solutions we are exhibiting and the agreements we have signed, ASELSAN is further expanding its role as a trusted global defense partner, delivering multi-domain capabilities that meet the evolving challenges of today’s security environment.”
