Havelsan is a strong<br \/>\npartner of this development with its<br \/>\nsolutions and capabilities. Since<br \/>\n2011, Havelsan has been carrying out<br \/>\ninternational marketing and business<br \/>\ndevelopment activities globally. The<br \/>\nGulf region is one of the highly focused<br \/>\nregions of Havelsan in international<br \/>\nmarketing. In addition to the CMS<br \/>\nsolutions mentioned above, Havelsan<br \/>\nalso offers expertise in Command<br \/>\nControl, Information Technologies, and<br \/>\nSimulation and Training solutions. Its<br \/>\nexperience and technology transfer<br \/>\nstrategy, combined with Turkey\u2019s<br \/>\ncultural ties with the region, motivate<br \/>\nHavelsan to get into the Middle East<br \/>\nmarket. The opportunities that Havelsan<br \/>\nfollows in North Africa, the Kingdom of<br \/>\nSaudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar<br \/>\nand Oman are mainly based on this<br \/>\nstrategy. The increasing requirements<br \/>\nof the region\u2019s countries on defence<br \/>\nsystems are also strategically<br \/>\ncritical for Havelsan to take care.<br \/>\nThe independency and reliability of<br \/>\nthe systems are becoming the main<br \/>\nconcern for the potential customers of<br \/>\nthe region. At this point, Havelsan may<br \/>\nbe mentioned among the most reliable<br \/>\nand independent companies globally.<br \/>\nAs an outcome of this strong<br \/>\nstructure, today, Havelsan became<br \/>\none of the best partners of the region<br \/>\nand recently Havelsan is training<br \/>\npilots from the region, constructing<br \/>\nperfectly designed simulation and<br \/>\ntraining centres, investigating future<br \/>\nneeds and supporting the region<br \/>\nin information technologies. With<br \/>\nHavelsan\u2019s technological infrastructure<br \/>\nregarding simulation systems, Havelsan<br \/>\nis confident that F-16 C Block 50 Pilot<br \/>\nTraining Simulator Centre by Havelsan<br \/>\nwould also meet the requirement of the<br \/>\nGulf Region Countries (Oman, vs) and<br \/>\nfulfil its mutual expectations. Havelsan<br \/>\nattaches utmost importance to further<br \/>\ndeveloping the current relations with<br \/>\nGulf countries.<br \/>\nBesides the current projects,<br \/>\nHavelsan has an ambition to evolve<br \/>\nGENES\u0130S for future requirements of<br \/>\nTurkish Navy. With enhanced features<br \/>\nin GENES\u0130S, Havelsan is eager to take<br \/>\npart in LPD and TF 2000 programs.<br \/>\nGENES\u0130S CMS is a strong candidate<br \/>\nfor other Navies\u2019 modernization and new<br \/>\ndevelopment programs and Havelsan<br \/>\nwill be very happy to co-operate with<br \/>\ninternational partners working in the<br \/>\nnaval defense sector.<br \/>\nHavelsan attaches utmost<br \/>\nimportance to further developing the<br \/>\ncurrent relations with Gulf countries.<br \/>\nHavelsan is ready to make partners,<br \/>\nshare experience and offer best possible<br \/>\nsolutions for defence requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TAI was established as a joint venture by Turkish and foreign shareholders in 1984 for the coproduction of F-16 aircraft in Turkey.
