Zitat:Turkish Defense Industry Skeptical of Government Plan

(Copyright Turkish Daily News; reproduced with permission)

Procurement officials aim to soon merge Turkey’s biggest defense companies under a single corporate entity, but industry remains skeptical of the plan. Consolidation may give an upper hand to the military in most procurement decisions and create a state monopoly in contracts.

ANKARA, Turkey --- An ambitious plan by Turkey's government and military authorities for the consolidation of the country's biggest defense companies has unnerved the local industry, with some analysts and procurement officials objecting to the proposal.

Analysts and industry sources said the plan would kill off competition in the defense procurement business and give too much power to the military, which, through a foundation, controls most of the big players in the local market.

“No doubt, the military will win an upper hand in most procurement decisions if the plan goes ahead,” said one senior industry source who represents several Western weapons suppliers.

Zitat:Turkish Air Defense Targets Export Market

Command and control technology links variety of sensors, weapons.

Constant upgrades have readied an advanced Turkish air defense system for foreign sales. Developed as Turkey’s first fully digital command and control architecture, the technology interfaces with a variety of sensor and weapons platforms to provide operators with a real-time picture of the battlespace. The system can direct low-, medium- and high-level anti-aircraft systems as part of a layered defense network.

As military forces replace legacy equipment with digital technologies for weapons and sensor systems, it becomes increasingly important to connect these systems into coherent command and control networks. Many nations purchase foreign equipment to meet their defense requirements but have difficulty integrating this disparate hardware. A homogenous system capable of interoperating with diverse legacy materiel would be a valuable export item.

Zitat:Turkish Aviation Companies Merge
By BURAK EGE BEKDIL, ANKARA

Two of Turkey’s leading aviation companies formally merged April 28 as part of a government-run program to restructure the country’s defense industry.

Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) and the government-owned Turkish Aircraft Industries (TUSAS) merged under the corporate identity of TAI, a TAI statement said. Both companies are based here.

Under the merger deal, TUSAS’ existence as a legal entity has ceased.

“These two companies will now serve (under TAI’s legal entity) as a united force for design, development, manufacturing, upgrade, systems integration and after-sales services for air platforms,” the statement said.

In January, TUSAS purchased the combined 49 percent stake from TAI’s U.S. shareholders — Lockheed Martin Aeronautics and General Electric. After the acquisition, TUSAS’ shares in TAI rose to 98 percent. At a shareholders’ meeting in March, TAI and TUSAS agreed to merge under TAI’s legal entity.

TAI assembled F-16 fighter jets at its plant in the 1980s and 1990s. It currently manufactures parts for Boeing, Chicago, and U.S. helicopter maker Sikorsky. The company also is a participant in the multinational Joint Strike Fighter and Future Large Aircraft programs.
