I watched Mr. Görgün's interview and compiled some points that I deem important. There could be hundreds of tidbits in the conversation but without being bogged down too much in the dialogue these are the notable points(for me);
The numbers in parenthesis are timestamps. They could differ by 5 seconds or so. And the texts in blue are my additions(not uttered by the CEO).
- Total export countries reached 80. (4:18)
- CATS cameras exported to ten countries on BAYKAR drones. (4:30)
- Last month we produced 15 CATS, this month same number, in January we'll be producing 20 CATS a month. (5:50)
- Better version of CATS(F500C) will start testing in the first months of 2023. (6:25)
- The design and developments for integrated EOTS for TFX and KIZILELMA continues. (6:50)
- About 20 ASELPOD has been delivered so far. Second gen ASELPOD also being developed. (7:15)
- There will be a total of 100 CATS delivered this year. (8:00)
- To date we produced 35 different radar systems. There are 29 different radar systems in development right now(these radars deliveries will start next year). And there are 12 different new-concept radar developments, like quantum radars.. (8:45)
- We have produced radars in bands of VHF, UHF, S, L, C, X, Ku, Ka and even W band. (9:25)
- This year we have delivered 13 different radar systems. Some of these are, ACAR(Ground Surveillance Radar) radar, Air Traffic Control Radar, EIRS(Early Warning Radar) , TEIRS(Mobile Early Warning Radar) , KALKAN(Mid Altitude AD Radar), FOPRAD(Foliage Penetration Radar) , MAR(Mobile 3d Search Radar) , STR(Weapon Detection Radar) and radar based seekers we have developed for missiles. (9:35)
- First aerial AESA will be delivered for AKINCI in less than a month. (11:45)
- We're developing a fully automated, Lights-Out factory for radar production. (12:40)
- KORKUT(Low Altitude AD) is exported to several countries. Demand is very strong for KORKUT (14:15)
- We're working with about 5.000 companies. (23:00)
- 648 products have been nationalized in the last three years (32:10)
- The companies that are working with ASELSAN are not asked to provide a "letter of guarantee" when they receive loans from banks, and they're treated favorably. (32:55)
- 20 electric buses were delivered to SAMSUN municipality and it was reported that on some lines the cost of operation was measured eight times less than a conventional bus, and on some other lines it was ten times less. and they'll amortize themselves in three years. (41:50)
- The average of age of ASELSAN's employees is 34. (42:50)
- In the last year there were 1500 interns at ASELSAN. (44:05)
These are the highlights for me. He also emphasized the importance of "Lean Manufacturing" and the efforts for indigenization(through Indigenization Directorate at ASELSAN) many times in the interview.
