    TURKEY AEROSPACE & DEFENSE 2016 AEROSPACE TURKEY TURKEY AEROSPACE & DEFENSE 2016 Aerospace - Defense - Original Equipment Manufacturers Platforms - Clusters - Multinationals - Sub-Tier Suppliers Distinguished GBR Readers, Since the inception of the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries 30 years ago, significant steps have been taken to achieve the goals of having the Turkish armed forces equipped with modern systems and technologies and promoting the development of the Turkish defense industry. In the last decade alone, the aerospace and defense (A&D) sector's total turnover quadrupled, while exports have increased fivefold, reaching $5.1 billion and $1.65 billion in 2014, respectively. The industry's investment in research and development (R&D) reached almost $1 billion in 2014. The total workforce in the A&D industry reached 30,000 personnel, of which 30% are engineers. Even more remarkable, Turkey is now at the stage of offering its own platforms for both the local market and to international allies, and has commenced a series of follow up local programs. Although this progress has been achieved under the circumstances of a healthy and consistent political environment and in parallel with sustained growth in the Turkish economy, the proportion of expenditure for defense in the national budget and as a percentage of Turkey’s GDP has been stable. With the help of the national, multinational and joint defense industry projects that have been undertaken in Turkey by the undersecretariat, the defense industry has become a highly capable community comprising large-scale main contractors, numerous sub- system manufacturers, small- and medium-sized enterprises, R&D companies who are involved in high-tech, niche areas, research institutes, and universities.

    THE WASHINGTON INSTITUTE FOR NEAR EAST POLICY JULY 2021 POLICY NOTES NO. 108 Deals, Drones, and National Will The New Era in Turkish Power Projection Rich Outzen he Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) attracted much attention in 2020 for its devastating employment of unmanned aerial vehicles during combat in TSyria, Libya, and the Caucasus. UAVs (drones) were just one dimension of Turkish regional interventions, but they were particularly potent symbols in an age of ubiquitous cameras and Internet connections.1 A number of analysts have assessed the tactical and operational impact of Turkish drones.2 Yet the Turkish drone program is just part of a revamped national approach to power Photo: Yasin Bulbul/ projection in neighboring regions—an approach with economic, diplomatic, Presidential Palace/Handout strategic, and reputational effects, as well as implications on the battlefield. via REUTERS An expanded network of Turkish military agreements and overseas basing, the maturation of partner and proxy relationships, the expansion of the defense industry beyond UAVs, military doctrine to integrate new sensors RICH OUTZEN DEALS, DRONES, AND NATIONAL WILL and weapons, and—perhaps most critically—the development of risk-tolerant political will in foreign Abbreviations affairs have enabled Turkey to become a formidable hard-power player in the Middle East, North Africa, GNA Government of National Accord (Libya) the Caucasus, and the Black and Mediterranean Seas.

While the world was enforcing a lockdown to prevent the spread of the virus, war-torn Libya renewed with heavy fighting in the capital. Despite the UNSMIL’s1 call for a lull in the fighting, the Libyan National Army (LNA) and its allies conducted shelling on Tripoli, targeting indistinctly residential neighbourhoods, hospitals and armed groups’ locations. The Government of National Accord (GNA) answered LNA’s shelling campaign by launching an offensive against several western cities. These operations could not have been executed without the support of both conflicting parties’ main backers: Turkey and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The protracted conflict results from both the competing parties’ unwillingness to agree on conditions to resume political negotiations2.

  • Security, Protracted Conflicts and the Role of Drones in Eurasia Note: the Term ‘Drone’ Is Used Interchangeably with ‘Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)’ in This Report
    On the Edge Security, protracted conflicts and the role of drones in Eurasia Note: The term ‘drone’ is used interchangeably with ‘Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)’ in this report. Supported by a funding from the Foundation Open Society Institute in cooperation with the Human Rights Initiative of the Open Society Foundations. Drone Wars UK is a small British NGO established in 2010 to undertake research and advocacy around the use of armed drones. We believe that the growing use of remotely-controlled, armed unmanned systems is encouraging and enabling a lowering of the threshold for the use of lethal force as well as eroding well established human rights norms. While some argue that the technology itself is neutral, we believe that drones are a danger to global peace and security. We have seen over the past decade that once these systems are in the armoury, the temptation to use them becomes great, even beyond the constraints of international law. As more countries develop or acquire this technology, the danger to global peace and security grows.

The potential hostilities could have led to undesirable geopolitical changes for Turkey in the Black Sea. Naturally, in such a situation, Ankara openly supported Kiev both diplomatically and militarily, and at the same time, Turkey also hinted at the possibility of revising the Montreux Convention. All this has irritated Russia, precipitating tough steps towards Turkey, which has initiated new threats and challenges in the Black Sea region. Turkey’s position in the confrontation between Russia and Ukraine Turkey and Russia cooperate on many international issues (Syria, Libya, Karabakh, etc.), and in some of them even take a common stance against the West. However, there are issues where their interests not only fail to coincide, but even contradict each other. One region of such controversy

  • Incirlik's Isr Dilemma
    INCIRLIK’S ISR DILEMMA Mathew Mansell AUAR April 7 2021 "Opinions, conclusions, and recommendations expressed or implied within are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of the Air University, the United States Air Force, the Department of Defense, or any other US government agency." 2 Abstract İncirlik, AB has played a key role for American strategy in the middle east since the fall of the Soviet Union, providing a staging point to spread western influence in the region. This western influence has come largely in the form of emerging unmanned technology, filling a vital role in American conflicts but arguably, more importantly, Turkish security. Turkey has continually looked towards the U.S. to provide them these planes along with the training to employ them effectively against the growing Kudish threat at their borders. America, owing to concerns regarding accusations of human rights violations at the hands of these drones has decided to withhold support and bar the procurement of the systems. This decision has created an expanding divide leading to the turkish hunt for industrial independence, and more agreeable partners in the Arab world. In the past 30 years Turkey has used this drive to become one of the largest, most advanced producers and exporters of UAVs in the world. Due to this advancement, a whole region is developing new technology,strategy, and tactics absent U.S. collaboration and support. If America were to exit this strategic location it’s waning influence would completely fade, pushing a one time ally farther away; potentially leading to a future conflict in which the U.S.
