History

Aselsan was founded by the Turkish Armed Forces Foundation (OYAK) at the end of 1975[1]

The first CEO of ASELSAN was Hacim Kamoy.[1]

In early 1979 following an investment and infrastructure establishment period, ASELSAN started its production, at Macunköy facilities in Ankara.[1] Since then, ASELSAN has expanded its product and customer portfolio, mostly based on indigenous research and development, locally trained personnel, and in ccoperation with other Turkish research instituitions and universities.
