- SDT Uzay ve Savunma Teknolojileri A.S. operates as a defense, aerospace, and advanced technology company specializing in the design, development, and manufacturing of indigenous defense electronics, software, and mission-critical subsystems. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Ankara, Turkey, the company operates across five core business segments: Electronic Warfare and Radar Systems, Simulation and Training Systems, Mission Avionics and Embedded Software, Communication and Data Link Systems, and Space and Image Processing Technologies. Its product portfolio comprises radar electronic support measures (ESM) and electronic countermeasure systems; airborne air combat maneuvering instrumentation (ACMI) pods and ground-based tactical debriefing stations; live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) simulation platforms; synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and optical satellite ground processing systems; high-speed tactical data link and telemetry units for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and precision-guided munitions; and mission computers, sensor integration suites, and digital mapping display generators. SDT primarily serves the Turkish Armed Forces, the Presidency of Defence Industries (SSB), and prime defense contractors including Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ), ASELSAN, HAVELSAN, and ROKETSAN, alongside allied military clients in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. In recent developments, the company completed its initial public offering on Borsa Istanbul under the ticker SDTTR, expanded its operational and manufacturing footprint by commissioning a dedicated R&D and production campus in the Ankara Aerospace and Aviation Specialized Organized Industrial Zone (HAB OIZ), secured international export contracts for its proprietary ACMI training systems, and established strategic supplier agreements for avionics, mission computers, and data link subsystems integrated into Turkey's next-generation defense platforms, including the KAAN national combat aircraft and HÜRJET jet trainer programs.
