The company also produces subsystems for Stinger, Rapier and ESSM missiles and provides technology and engineering solutions for other integrated civilian and military platforms. Recent developments highlight small-diameter precision-strike bombs for unmanned aerial vehicles.
Roketsan is the only Turkish company to have obtained CMMI/ DEV 3 (Capability Maturity Model Integration – for Development) approval for all its design and development processes.[3]
It was ranked 96th in 2018 and 89th in 2019 in Defense News' most valuable defense industry companies list.[4] In 2020, it was ranked 91st.[5]
The company is one of the organizers of the Teknofest Aerospace and Technology Festival.[6]
Roketsan signed a contract in 2013 to build the project of the national UFS Space Launch System.[7] In 2013, the Government of Turkey approved the construction of its first satellite launching center by Roketsan.[8] In August 2020, the Roketsan Satellite Launch, Space Systems and Advanced Technologies Research Center was established.[9]
On 29 June 2021, the governments of Turkey and Bangladesh signed a defence memorandum of understanding for the export of Roketsan products to Bangladesh, according to İsmail Demir, president of Presidency of Defense Industries.[10] Roketsan had already delivered the TRG-300 Tiger MLRS to the Bangladesh Army in June 2021 in a separate deal.[11] Bangladesh was set to become one of the top defence equipment clients of Turkey and Roketsan in the following few years. In October 2021, the Bangladesh Army received a second batch of the TRG-300 Tiger missile system.[12]
