Which systems are in SDT’s product family?
Quick answer: The product catalog of SDT Uzay ve Savunma Teknolojileri (SDT Space and Defence Technologies) is organized into four solution groups: radar, electronic warfare and communications; mission systems; simulation and information technologies; and manufacturing programs. This guide gathers every product in the official catalog into a single list and links to the detailed file for each product family. The flagship product is the ACMI air combat training pod; the broadest family is the missile electronics units.
Radar, electronic warfare and communications products
This group covers synthetic aperture radar (SAR) work, electronic warfare systems and data link products. SARPER, the sensor developed through the ASELSAN-SDT business partnership, is used on the ANKA unmanned aerial vehicle; the company also says it has developed a dual-use 3D radar for border security and counter-drone duties. In electronic warfare the group holds the ESM/ELINT system, the portable DF-COMINT system, the SIGINT threat simulator and the infrared guided missile simulator; the details are set out in the electronic warfare file. In communications, the ACMI pod data link and drone data link systems stand out; the South Korean KF-21 reference is described in the export file.
Mission systems: the electronic backbone of platforms
The mission systems group contains three sub-families. Platform management systems cover the airborne unit computer and the video switching unit; data recording systems cover the VKS product family in military and civilian versions; and weapon systems cover the missile electronics units. According to the official page, the VKS records MIL-STD-1553, ARINC-429, CAN and Ethernet data buses along with video interfaces from PAL/NTSC to DisplayPort, uses a 512 GB removable SSD, and was presented at the Eurasia Rail trade fairs in the civilian adaptation for rail systems.
Simulation, training and information technology products
The ACMI pod in air combat training and the firing and tactical simulators in land and naval training make up the training side of this group. The information technology side holds three products: GÖRGÜÇ, an imagery exploitation and target detection software package that supports SARPER, TerraSAR-X, Sentinel, Cosmo SkyMed and GÖKTÜRK data; the National Seismic Data Processing Software, contracted with Turkish Petroleum Corporation (TPAO), the state oil company; and turnkey satellite ground station solutions.
| Solution group | Products | Detailed file |

| Radar, EW and communications | SAR, ELINT, DF-COMINT, SIGINT and guided missile simulators, ACMI/drone data link | Electronic warfare file |
| Mission Systems | Airborne unit computer, video switching, VKS, five missile electronics units | Missile electronics file |
| Simulation and IT | ACMI pod, three training simulators, GÖRGÜÇ, seismic software, satellite ground station | ACMI and simulator files |
| Manufacturing Programs | Vehicle and backpack RF jammers, counter-drone system, HGK/KGK electronics, UDS | RF jammer and AVCI files |
Manufacturing programs: the serial production wing
Manufacturing programs cover capabilities such as cabling, board assembly, conformal coating, X-ray and optical inspection. The group holds the vehicle and backpack RF jammers, the tactical mobile counter-drone system, HGK/KGK guidance kit electronics and aircraft arresting systems (UDS). According to the official page, the UDS can safely stop aircraft weighing between 10,000 and 100,000 pounds, including the F-4, F-16 and F-35, at speeds of up to 190 knots; it operates between minus 40 and plus 50 degrees Celsius and is offered in three configurations, as a fixed hook type, a net type and a mobile system. The company profile and corporate details appear in the file on what SDT is.
