Aselsan was founded by the Turkish Army Foundation at the end of 1975[3]
The first CEO of ASELSAN was M. Hacim Kamoy.[3]
In early 1979 following an investment (for example: kartlı geçiş sistemleri[4]) and infrastructure establishment period, ASELSAN started its production, at Macunköy facilities in Ankara.[3] Since then, ASELSAN has expanded its product and customer portfolio, mostly based on indigenous research and development, locally trained personnel, and in coperation with other Turkish research instituitions and universities.
ASELSAN is a leading electronics and electronic systems company in Turkey that designs, develops and manufactures modern electronic systems for military and industrial customers, in Turkey and abroad. The company headquarters is situated at Macunköy facilities in Ankara, Turkey. According to the field of activities, ASELSAN has been organized in four main divisions:
The Communications Devices Division (HBT), Radar, Electronic Warfare and Intelligence Systems Division (REHIS) and Defense Systems Division (SST) 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 Communications Devices Division's main product spectrum covers military and professional communications systems, Radar, Electronic Warfare and Intelligence Systems Division's main operations are focused on radar, electronic warfare and Defense Systems Division's main operations are focused on command-control systems, making these divisions evolving technology centers in their fields. Equipped with high technology engineering, automatic production and test equipment, Microelectronics, Guidance and Electro-Optics Division manufactures hybrid microelectronic circuits, night vision devices, thermal cameras, laser ranger/designators and inertial navigation systems at Akyurt facilities.
In all divisions, methodologies complying with military standards and ISO-9001 are successfully applied using computer aided design (CAD), computer aided engineering (CAE) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) technologies.
