According to the agency, the centre is being built on the territory of the Baskent Organised Industrial Zone on the basis of the defence company ASELSAN.
The facility will reportedly include advanced infrastructure for efficient production of systems and subsystems, integration, testing and verification during the development and serial production of air and missile defence systems.
The facility will be commissioned in the near future, the media added.
In December 2021, Turkish media reported that Ankara will continue developing new air defence systems, HISAR and SIPER, as part of the domestic missile defence strategy in 2022 with the aim of substituting Russian S-400 and US Patriot systems. The country has already successfully tested the surface-to-air HISAR A+ and HISAR O+ missile systems, bringing it one step closer to the SIPER air defence system.
