List of Turkish defense industry companies refers to a list of companies active in Turkey and contributing to defense production of Turkey. They are generally headquartered in Turkey, with some maintaining offices abroad. Most are based in Ankara and Istanbul, although there are companies headquartered in other provinces as well.
While the majority are funded by domestic capital, certain companies have shares controlled by foreign investors. Among the shareholders are the Turkish Armed Forces Foundation (TSKGV), various Turkish ministries, companies affiliated with TSKGV such as ASELSAN and HAVELSAN, foreign entities like General Electric, and domestic private firms like Zorlu Holding. Some of these companies are partially publicly traded, and a portion operate under the umbrella of the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK).
The companies operate in diverse fields. Some, like TUSAŞ (TAI) and Baykar, specialize in aviation; others, such as Otokar and BMC, focus on land platforms; companies like CTech are active in information technologies; and firms like DEARSAN operate in the maritime sector.
