Our defence industry is one of the structures that makes the biggest contribution to the establishment of stability and peace with its national and independent technologies. To be strong and deterrent against highly changing and various threats and to achieve peace and stability are possible only by having strong army and high-tech defence systems. The main resource of defence systems using the highest technologies must be a self-sufficient and national defence industry.

As the Secretariat of Defence Industries, we are working for the security and safety of our nation. By reaching to the desired level, Turkish Defence Industry keeps offering solutions to our security forces in particular, and the security, prosperity and technological development of friendly and allied countries.

One of the priorities of our defence industry is to provide the highest value to our country's high-tech value-added export targets. The products and systems produced by the Turkish defence industry will continue to proudly fly the flag of our country abroad and to give confidence to its users.

One of the key tasks of the Secretariat is to take decisive steps that will carry our industry forward through an agile management approach.

In today's world, where groundbreaking technologies surround the world and these technologies are reflected in the systems in the defence industry, digitalization is also among our priority targets.

As the Secretariat, one of our key focal points is to develop sustainable human resource policy with a focus on competency and merits in our defence industry that has entered a new era under the leadership of our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

As the main criteria of success in the defence industry, achieving coordination and uniting in common national targets with its all partners are the most critical steps in the policies of our Secretariat .

In all steps we will take, our motto is “First Türkiye, First Nation”.

It is our greatest motivation and aim to successfully finalize defence industry projects that will open the doors of a new era to our country in the air, land, sea, space and cyber fields.

Together with our Turkish Armed Forces, National Police Force, National Intelligence Organization and all our partners, we will continue to work hard around-the-clock for the security and future of our nation.

In this cause, our main strength comes from the valuable human resource of our defence industry sector. No obstacles can ever stand in our way when their competencies are combined with the love of Nation.

When we endeavour with the permission of the Allah, the road will be clear.
