Kuala Lumpur. 27 March 2022.   STM Savunma Teknolojileri Mühendislik ve Ticaret A.Ş., which has played a key role in the significant progress seen in the field of defence in the past couple of years in Türkiye, offers critical solutions in such areas as naval platforms, tactical mini-UAV systems and cyber security. Under the leadership of the Presidency of Defence Industries (SSB), STM continues to export the experience it has accumulated in meeting domestic needs to friendly and allied nations through cooperation and technology transfer agreements.

I-Class Frigate to be exhibited in Kuala Lumpur

STM will be joining the DSA 2022 Exhibition, to be held in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, on 28–31 March, where it will be introducing its innovative and national solutions to Southeast Asia. At DSA 2022, one of the most important events of its kind in Asia, STM will be introducing Turkiye’s first national frigate the İstif (I)-Class Frigate, the MİLGEM Ada-Class Corvette, the Coast Guard Ship CG-3100, as well as tactical mini UAV systems ALPAGU, KARGU and TOGAN, to Asia Pacific countries.

STM plays a critical role in fulfilling Turkish Naval needs

STM is engaged in collaborations, technology transfer and business development activities in more than 20 countries, from South America to the Far East. As part of its design, construction and modernization activities, STM produces flexible indigenous engineering solutions for the surface and submarine platforms of Türkiye, a NATO member with one of the most active navies in the world, and for the navies of friendly and allied nations, to address specific needs and ensure more effective mission performance. The systems being used successfully in the field by the Turkish Navy are being exported overseas by STM as quality, affordable and modern engineering solutions. STM, with its long-term service support and indigenously developed weapon systems, makes a difference by rendering its products and capabilities available to national navies even while under embargoes.

As the main contractor of Türkiye’s first national frigate, TCG ISTANBUL, STM carries out surface and submarine projects for the world navies. KARGU, which has been used successfully by the TAF, has been exported to two countries, and new exports are in many talks.
