WITH HER GEORAPHICAL LOCATION, IS A KEY PARTNER FOR US POLICY
Is Turkey a best value Defense & Aerospace partner for a long term strategic coopera[on (not offset driven only)
• in certain business areas and at certain parts of the world; YES • if technology and quality level is important, but compe[[veness is also expected; YES
• if you are looking for educated, young, mo[vated engineering force; YES
• if government support and user’s coopera[on is required; YES • if you want to be at the center of the emerging defense and aerospace market; YES
WHAT IS TURKEY AFTER?
• JV’s, partnerships: • BAE (%49 shareholder of FNSS) • L3 (Ayesaş) • GE (TEI) • Sikorsky (Alp Havacılık) • SNC (Esen Entegrasyon)
• Business coopera[ons: • Prah & Wihney (Kale Havacılık, Alp Havacılık) • Boeing (TAI, Alp Havacılık, Ayesaş) • Lockheed Mar[n (TAI, Alp Havacılık, Ayesaş) • Raytheon (Roketsan, Aselsan)
USA COMPANIES OPERATING IN TURKEY
• Marke[ng, sales and transfer of «US origin defence ar[cles» are under US State Department control.
• Unfortunately US State Department has a broad defini[on of “US origin”.
• Therefore non-‐US companies opera[ng in other countries are having export diffucul[es due to many bureaucra[c ac[ons required in order to market, sell and transfer of the products manufactured under license and having SME items in their content.
ISSUES BETWEEN TURKEY AND USA IN DEFENCE
• State Department, however, made significant improvements on this process over the years.
• Standard Agreement formats and online applica[on opportuni[es, now, shorten the approval process significantly.
• Also removing numerous items from ITAR list to EAR list made the commercial ac[vi[es move faster then previous years.
ISSUES BETWEEN TURKEY AND USA IN DEFENCE
• Both countries have common and different interests. It is good to note that there are channels like ATC to speak about issues
• Turkish Defense Industry is happy about improvements in USA’s export regula[on process. The progress should be enhanced.
• Trade balance between the two countries is in favor of USA. This Trade imbalance should be corrected.
