SDT Uzay ve Savunma Wins New $2.2 Million Defense Order
Ankara, September 17, 2026 — Turkish defense electronics firm SDT Uzay ve Savunma Teknolojileri A.Ş. disclosed to the Public Disclosure Platform (KAP) that it has secured a new order worth $2,213,250 from a domestic customer in the defense industry. The company said deliveries under the contract are planned for completion within 2027.
What the order covers
The KAP filing did not name the specific product or system involved — a common practice among publicly listed defense companies citing commercial sensitivity. SDT’s product lines span radar and electronic-warfare signal processing, image processing and pattern recognition, satellite ground stations, aircraft and weapons-system avionics, RF jamming and anti-drone systems, and combat-training simulation platforms; which of these the new order falls under has not been clarified.
Second order in 48 hours
The disclosure follows closely on the heels of a $14,625,000 defense-systems contract the company announced on September 15. Combined, the two filings bring the company’s new business total to $16,838,000 within roughly two days — a sign of sustained demand within Turkey’s domestic defense supply chain.
Who is SDT?
Founded in 2005 at METU Technopark, SDT Uzay ve Savunma Teknolojileri operates in defense electronics and embedded software. The company holds AS 9100D and CMMI DEV/SPM certifications and partners with firms including TAMGÖR, CEY Savunma and Sirius. SDT shares trade on Borsa Istanbul under the ticker SDTTR.
Its place in Turkey’s defense electronics ecosystem
Alongside larger players such as ASELSAN and HAVELSAN, SDT occupies the profile of a mid-sized supplier specializing in niche defense electronics segments. Its expertise in radar/electronic-warfare signal processing and anti-drone systems aligns with Turkey’s recent priority on building defenses against low-cost drone threats. Turkey’s domestic defense supply chain appears to be deepening not only through major prime contractors but also through this kind of specialized mid-tier firm.
Why it’s worth tracking
Regular KAP filings from listed defense companies offer a concrete, verifiable indicator of Turkey’s defense-industry export and domestic-procurement volume. Individual order sizes may look modest, but cumulatively they form a reliable data source for gauging the sector’s growth rate and the vitality of its supply chain.
What remains unclear
The identity of the ordering institution, the specific product or system under contract, and interim delivery milestones were not disclosed in the KAP filing.
