The construction of an integrated anti-aircraft defense system, which was called “Steel Dome” is planned by Turkey for the next period.
Yesterday, Tuesday 6/8, the Defense Industry Executive Committee met in Turkey under the chairmanship of Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The “Steel Dome” program, the Communication Directorate of the Turkish presidency states in its announcement, is being developed with domestic resources and at the national level. It ensures that the multiple layers of air defense systems and all sensors and weapons will work together in a networked structure, create a common operational picture in the air, project it to the operations centers in real time and be available to the authorities for decision-making with the support of artificial intelligence.
