Aselsan A.S., headquartered in the Macunkoy district of Ankara, Turkey, was established in 1975 by the Turkish Armed Forces Foundation after a United States arms embargo followed Turkey's intervention in Cyprus. The foundation remains the company's majority shareholder, and Ahmet Akyol serves as chief executive.
The company designs and manufactures military electronics across communications, radar, avionics, electronic warfare, and air defense systems, along with unmanned ground systems marketed under the KAPLAN family and counter-unmanned-aerial-vehicle platforms for detecting and neutralizing hostile drones. Its TOLUN family covers precision-guided munitions. These systems are built for army, navy, and air force customers handling surveillance, force protection, and air-defense missions.

In August 2025 the company delivered air-defense systems valued at 460 million dollars and began construction on a 1.5 billion dollar production facility intended to expand its air-defense manufacturing capacity.
