A new
Turkish-Jordanian cooperation. Turkish military electronics specialist Aselsan
inaugurated a joint venture production plant in Jordan.
The products will be
marketed to Middle Eastern and North African countries.
Aselsan Middle East
(AME) is a partnership between Aselsan, Turkey’s biggest defense company, and
King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau (KADDB). KADDB owns 51 percent
of AME, and Aselsan has 49 percent.
According to Defense
News, AME will produce border security equipment for the Jordanian and
potentially other Middle East armies, company officials said.
AME produces night
vision and thermal camera systems, and operates test and calibration
laboratories. It has a capacity to produce 6,000 night vision devices annually.
Recently, AME signed a
deal to deliver its SAGER thermal sighting system for the Jordanian army.
Aselsan officials said
the company’s ongoing joint programs with its Jordanian partner include mini
drones (UAVs) and unmanned helicopters. Future
cooperation is planned in the fields of software-based radios as well as
upgrades of tanks, armored vehicles and helicopters.
