SECURITY AND DEFENCE
Turkish defence industries having achieved a global competitive capacity is now keen to cooperate
Right time and proper platform for armament
cooperation between Turkey and the EU
by Murad Bayar, Undersecretary, Ministry of National Defence, Ankara
Considering global trends and current challenges, we have to
ensure that the technologically advanced capability be improved so as to enable us to operate efficiently in the face of a
wide array of diversified threats. A strong and indigenous capability infrastructure will ensure that our national and global
interests are secured. This can be interpreted not only as
building an indigenous defence industry, but also as deepening international defence integration.
Creating synergies – Turkey is keen to cooperate
In addition, taking into account shrinking defence budgets,
especially in Europe, co-operation has become indispensible
in terms of providing best-value solutions to obtain cuttingedge technologies. The international partnership concept is
now being taken more seriously than ever before, as many
nations with similar requirements are eager to collaborate to
create synergies.
Turkey, meanwhile, particularly in the last decade, has made
considerable strides towards its goal of modernising its armed
forces and creating indigenous defence products in order to
reduce arms import-dependency and to cultivate its own export markets. It has been the policy that defence procurement
should, through joint ventures with overseas companies,
provide the stimulus for industrial development. The Turkish
Government has encouraged foreign investment, and there are
a number of very significant co-production deals between
Turkish and foreign companies involving important transfers
of advanced technology to Turkey. Turkey is now keen to
export and remain competitive in the defence sector.
Murad Bayar
Murad Bayar is States Secretary for defence
industries in the Ministry of Defence (SSM) and
is in this position the chief procurement official
of Turkey since 2004.
He is an electronics engineer with master’s
degrees of the North Carolina University and
Yale University.
States Secretary Bayar startet his career 1987 with Turkey´s militaryowned electronic company Aselsan. He worked for the SSM between
1989 and 1998 and engaged1998 at the international consulting firm
Booz Allen Hamilton´s in New York before coming to his actual function.
Turkey has aimed to conduct effective supply activities in
accordance with the expectations of the users, to improve
international cooperation in the field of defence and to establish an effective institutionalized structure to realize the
above-mentioned activities per our Strategic Plan. A growing
trend began in the sector in 2007. $352 million in defence
exports in 2006 has gradually increased to approximately
$830 million in 2009, and sectorial turnover increased to $2.3
billion from $1.7 billion in 2006. Platforms not produced in
Turkey, such as aircraft and submarines, are projects that even
leading countries prefer to implement through consortiums.
Thus, Turkey should aim at supplying the needs of the Turkish
Armed Forces by affiliating our industry with international
consortiums for these projects.
The Turkish procurement policy
Increased competitive capacities of the Turkish
defence industry
Turkey’s procurement policy is implemented by the Under-Secretariat for Defence Industries (SSM), which undertakes technical, financial and industrial project evaluations.
The strategic priorities of SSM are Procurement Management,
Industry and Technology Management and International
Cooperation.
The 2007-2011 Strategic Plan policies published by SSM
include:
• having 50% of system requirements met through local
infrastructure by 2011;
• using cost + contracts for R&D and local development;
• achieving defence exports valued at $1 billion per annum by
2011.
The global competitive capacity of the Turkish defence industry has gradually increased, especially in recent years, and
Turkish companies have become contractors in national
procurement projects and reliable partners in many respectable international projects. Thanks to the international projects, Turkish companies have begun to form an effective
working culture with the world defence industry for new
cooperation opportunities in the future.
International defence industry cooperation has a reciprocal
triggering relationship. As its technological infrastructure improves, our industry strengthens its stance as a suitable candidate for new partnerships, and as it participates in new international projects, it is able to improve its capabilities. One of
37
THE EUROPEAN – SECURITY AND DEFENCE UNION
Turkish Forces participate regurlarly in NATO and EU-Missions
the most important features of Turkey’s new international
cooperation is the role of not only key industrial institutions,
but also of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).
Overlapping security goals and defence priorities
The issue that primarily needs to be addressed at present is
that Turkish and European security goals and defence priorities mostly overlap. This in turn can lead us to try to identify a
mutually beneficial forum where procurement and defence
industry cooperation in the real sense can be pursued.
In parallel with strategies focusing on increasing local capacity
to achieve industrial self-reliance, Turkey has considered
European countries to be among its preferred partners for
major defence systems. These include helicopters, naval
platforms and electronic warfare systems.
Defence cooperation with Europe stems from common threat
perceptions with considerable potential. By being a partner in
large-scale European defence programmes, such as A400M,
and recent joint initiatives in Advanced UAV, Turkey has been
able to enhance its capabilities, integrating them through
“supply chains” into the European industrial base.
In these projects, the Turkish aviation industry entered into
very successful partnerships. The integration of our industry
with international industry, its ability to get more business,
and improving technology and capability via these projects is
still in progress. Similarly, the Turkish aviation industry’s
involvement in the A400M Project developed a culture of
working with the main players in the sector and created potential for new partnerships in critical activities, both in “joint
production” and design and development.
Multinational programmes are mutually supportive
It should therefore be underlined that, given the level of
experience and capabilities obtained over the last decade
38
through multinational programmes,
Turkey’s membership in OCCAR would
surely strengthen armaments cooperation
between Turkey and the EU. For its part,
Turkey has always focused on developing
and maintaining strong relations with its
European counterparts and would like to
see a shift in perception towards the
advantages of its industrial capabilities.
Currently, SSM carries out large-scale
programmes. By 2010, the total contract
volume of its 14 naval platform programmes exceeded $8 billion.
The National Corvette (MILGEM), for
instance, has been designed to meet vaPhoto: ESDU archive
rious requirements, including reconnaissance, surveillance, target identification,
early warning, defence of bases and harbours, anti-submarine
warfare, amphibious operations and surface-to-surface and
surface-to-air warfare. In context of the programme, ASELSAN
and HAVELSAN are responsible for the development and
integration of combat systems, whereas the sonar system has
been designed and developed by TÜBiTAK (The Scientific and
Technological Research Council of Turkey). In that sense,
MILGEM is a unique example of cooperation in the Turkish
defence industry.
Turkish security and defence industries are
enabled for global export
As a result of our continuous efforts to enhance the capabilities of the local industry, fortified with our proven design and
sub-system solutions, the Turkish defence industry now has
the capability to export various systems to various countries
around the world. Yonca Onuk, one of the leading exporters in
the area of composite hulls, has delivered improved rapid-intervention crafts and patrol boats to Georgia, UAE and Pakistan. ASELSAN has delivered the STAMP to Malaysia and the
UAE and signed a contract involving Software Defined Radios
with the Pakistani Armed Forces. In the land sector, FNSS, one
of Turkey’s leading armoured vehicle companies, has signed a
$600 million contract with the Government of Malaysia to
equip their armed forces with Pars IFVs. In 2009, 21% of the
Turkey’s aviation exports were achieved by Alp Aviation.
Turkey attaches great importance to continuing its enhanced
dialogue with the EU, and Turkey’s catalytic role in NATO-EU
relations has led to some tangible changes in the European
perception of defence and security.
In conclusion, all of these accomplishments demonstrate the
Turkish defence industry’s competitiveness and reliability as
partner in the international field.
