ANKARA - TDN Defense Desk
Several satellite manufacturers from around the globe are preparing to bid for a contract to oversee the building and launching of Turkey's first military satellite, in what is now viewed by the Air Force as a “priority program.”
Procurement officials said they expect to see over a dozen “serious” bidders from the United States, Europe (including manufacturers from the former Eastern bloc), Israel and East Asia. The Undersecretariat for the Defense Industry (SSM) will be managing the procurement process and has said that bidders must submit their proposals no later than Nov. 3.
