Tuzun Savunma targets fully domestic military electronics and cable harnesses in Turkey

Tuzun Savunma is a young Turkish supplier trying to occupy an unglamorous but strategic niche: the electronics and cabling that sit inside defence platforms. The company set out in 2023 with the stated goal of reducing Turkey’s dependence on foreign defence technology.

Its objective is 100 percent locally developed and certified solutions in military electronic boards, cable harnesses, electromechanical assemblies (EMM) and integrated systems. Production was planned to begin in April 2025 at an interim facility in the Ivedik organised industrial zone in Ankara, with a smart factory planned for 2027-2028.

Business areas

Listed areas include electronic and electromechanical systems, cabling and power distribution, electronic warfare and directed-energy technologies, communications, command and control and IT, space and satellite systems, aircraft and aviation technologies, and motor vehicle systems.

Why it matters to allies

Western primes and NATO procurers increasingly look at second-tier suppliers for resilience. A domestic Turkish source of harnesses and boards shortens supply chains for Ankara’s own programmes and could, over time, become relevant to co-production arrangements.

What is not public

No verified public figures on revenue, headcount or contracts were found, so none are claimed.
