Turkish defence company ASELSAN has expanded its footprint in Southeast Asia by signing five key agreements and officially opening its Indonesia office during the INDODEFENCE exhibition in Jakarta. These initiatives focus on joint development, production, and integration into the global supply chain, reinforcing ASELSAN’s role in the region’s defence industry.

 

The agreements were signed in the presence of senior Indonesian and Turkish defence officials, underscoring their strategic significance. Partnerships include technology transfer and co-production with PT LEN Industri via DEFEND ID, and cooperation with Czech CSG Group and Excalibur Army for opportunities including the integration of ASELSAN systems on PATRIOT 4×4 Vehicles in Indonesia.

Further collaborations include joint development of weapon systems and fire control technologies with PT PINDAD, and naval modernisation projects with PT PAL. These agreements aim to strengthen Indonesia’s defence capabilities and deepen long-term industrial cooperation.

 

 

ASELSAN also marked the opening of its Indonesia office, which will support direct engagement with local partners, offer tailored solutions, and provide long-term service and maintenance. The ceremony was attended by Turkish and Indonesian officials, including Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün, Secretary of Turkish Defence Industries, and Ahmet Akyol, ASELSAN President & CEO.

“We are proud to bring advanced capabilities and reliable cooperation to an important strategic market with our new office in Jakarta,” said Ahmet Akyol. “Through our deepening ties in the region, ASELSAN Indonesia will serve as a direct link to local partners and support sustainable, high-impact cooperation through on-site services.”

 

 

Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün added: “It is a great honor to witness the opening of ASELSAN’s Jakarta office alongside the signing of strategic agreements that strengthen our defense partnership in the region. I believe this office will build bridges of technology, knowledge, and friendship between our nations, leading to a prosperous and auspicious future for both countries as well as new achievements in defense industry.”
