Turkey’s defense contractor ASELSAN to export advanced remote-controlled system to Bahrain navy

Turkey’s leading defense and technology company has landed a contact in Bahrain to supply the navy of the tiny Gulf kingdom, Daily Sabah reports.
“Aside from the latest sale of the remote-controlled weapon system to the Gulf, Aselsan – having been present in the market for more than a decade – has provided countries with technological solutions through direct sales, transfer of technology programs, local production and joint venture companies,” the company said in a statement.
The system to be delivered is currently in 20 countries via both land-based and naval platforms, Daily Sabah reports.
The company early last month said it received for the first quarter of the year orders estimated at $320 million.
ASELSAN which belongs to Turkish Armed Forces Foundation, has a wide range of product portfolio including communication and information technologies, radar and electronic warfare, electro-optics, avionics, unmanned systems, land, naval and weapon systems, air defense and missile systems, command and control systems, transportation, security, traffic, automation and medical systems.
