Koç Bilgi ve Savunma Teknolojileri A.Ş.

Koç Information and Defense Technologies Inc. (KoçSavunma) is a technology company that develops electronic systems for naval platforms, primarily focusing on underwater acoustics, through an R&D-based approach.

KoçSavunma continues its work with the goal of being "a leader in underwater acoustic systems with its original, innovative and national solutions".

KoçSavunma, a company with national capital, offers products and services that are also national and domestic solutions. These products and services are developed and put into use in Turkey by Turkish engineers and technicians with a high rate of local content.

Effective and Reliable Products and Services

KoçSavunma provides innovative and competitive solutions in the design of underwater systems, acoustic signal processing, underwater environment modeling, acoustic detection, diagnosis and classification, electronic system design, embedded software applications, data fusion, mechanical product design, and modeling/simulation.

KoçSavunma, achieving a localization rate exceeding 75% in underwater electro-acoustic systems and not using any subsystems, components, or materials subject to export permits, thus reliably meets the needs of end-users at all times. Leveraging the strength of the Koç brand, it provides service and support for all its products, starting with user training and continuing throughout the product's lifecycle. Furthermore, with its experience in ship-system integration, it continues to support end-users during the integration phase of its products into various platforms.

An Experience That Makes a Difference

KoçSavunma is one of the few companies in Turkey that offers services and products in the field of underwater acoustics; globally, it is also among the players that develop cutting-edge solutions in this field.

KoçSavunma's expert human resources are among its core competencies. KoçSavunma's team possesses both theoretical knowledge at an awareness level and in-depth practical experience in underwater systems, acoustic signal processing, underwater environment modeling, acoustic detection, diagnosis, and classification. This experience provides KoçSavunma with a unique advantage in the field of underwater acoustics, enabling it to develop effective solutions quickly.

Underwater acoustic systems exhibit varying performance depending on temporal and spatial conditions, influenced by parameters such as temperature, salinity, depth, seabed structure, and surface roughness. At this point, modifying the electronic and software designs of acoustic systems according to customer requirements creates a significant difference in efficiency. Furthermore, feedback from the field and fine-tuning through sea tests enhance the system's performance excellence. Sea tests alone take at least 3-4 times as much time as the preliminary and critical design phases of an underwater acoustic system. KoçSavunma's accumulated experience and expertise in acoustic systems make a significant difference in these areas. KoçSavunma's experienced team and established corporate infrastructure and processes transform field tests from processes where new phenomena in the marine environment are discovered into activities that quickly validate the designs. This results in high user satisfaction.

KoçSavunma continuously enhances this experience with its expertise in field measurement and data collection.

The Integral of Technology, the Derivative of Products

KoçSavunma creates derivative systems by combining the solutions it develops in different ways. In its areas of expertise, it takes the integral of the technology and the derivative of its products. In this way, it can develop solutions that can meet specific needs quickly and cost-effectively.

The Power of Koç Holding and KoçSistem

KoçSavunma is a subsidiary of KoçSistem, which operates within Koç Holding, the only Turkish company included in the Fortune Global 500 ranking.

Solutions Preferred by Turkish and International End Users

KoçSavunma develops all its solutions through original R&D efforts. In addition to its own resources, it receives significant support from TÜBİTAK (the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) both in establishing the necessary infrastructure and in carrying out projects, thus continuing its growth in a planned manner.

KoçSavunma continues to develop various unique solutions for naval platforms and underwater warfare, used either as standalone systems or as part of larger systems. Operating within a sustainable ecosystem based on long-term collaborations, KoçSavunma proudly offers its effective and reliable products and services to the Ministry of National Defence (MSB), the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK), the Presidency of Defence Industries (SSB), and key integrators, as well as users in friendly and allied countries.
