The company was founded on February 11, 2005, with the aim of delivering competitive and innovative technological products and value-added engineering services across various sectors in Türkiye and internationally, with a particular focus on the defense industry. Additionally, the company aims to develop products in specific verticals through research and development within the defense sector. On July 13, 2017, it underwent a title change and has since been operating under its current name.
SDT was initially established as a technology-oriented company and, during the early stages of its development, primarily undertook subcontracting roles in major projects. These roles encompassed both the design and production of electronic subsystems, as well as the development of value-added software solutions. In the following years, SDT achieved significant success through collaborations with leading firms in the defense industry.
In addition to the roles it has undertaken in projects, the company has also become a player in the defense industry, developing products at the system and subsystem level and offering turnkey system solutions as a prime contractor, thanks to its R&D studies, which it has conducted over time using both the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) funds and its own resources.
SDT specializes in the following main fields of activity:

The Company's revenues are primarily generated through project-based engagements, including competitive tendering processes, custom project orders, and spot sales. Certain projects are executed in collaboration with partners via joint ventures or cooperation agreements; in such cases, revenues are recognized proportionally based on the Company's ownership stake. In addition to project revenues, the Company benefits from recurring income streams through maintenance, support services, and other repeat business activities.

An overview of the sectors or markets of operation, the exporter's positioning within these sectors or markets, and the related advantages and disadvantages
In line with the principles of a social state, governments are tasked with safeguarding national integrity and ensuring the security of their nations. In the contemporary landscape marked by rising geopolitical tensions and persistent threats of terrorism, countries are increasingly allocating resources to bolster their defense capabilities. Consequently, many nations are enhancing their defense infrastructure and undertaking efforts to modernize and restructure their technological frameworks. The defense industry encompasses the industrial landscape involved in the production of defense equipment and the provision of essential services crucial for national security.
Its primary sectors include:
According to data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), global defense expenditures saw a significant increase of 9.4% in 2024, primarily driven by the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Total defense spending reached USD 2.72 trillion, marking a notable rise in military budgets worldwide. This expenditure accounts for 2.5% of the global Gross Domestic Product (GDP), underscoring the strategic importance of defense spending in the global economy. Regionally, Europe experienced the highest increase in defense spending, with a 17% rise, followed by the Middle East with a 15% increase. Within Europe, Central and Western European nations saw a 14% growth, while Eastern Europe recorded a 24% surge, primarily due to the increasing security concerns surrounding Russia.
When analyzing the countries with the highest defense expenditures in 2024, the United States ranked first with USD 997 billion, followed by China with USD 314 billion, Russia with USD 149 billion, Germany with USD 88.5 billion, and India with USD 86.1 billion. Together, these five countries accounted for 60% of total global defense expenditures (Source: SIPRI Military Expenditure Database, April 2025).
As reported by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Turkey ranked 17th globally in defense spending in 2024, with an expenditure of 25 billion USD. This represents a notable rise from its 22nd position in 2023, when its defense expenditure stood at 15.8 billion USD. In 2024, the share of defense spending in Turkey's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was recorded at 1.9%. (Source: SIPRI Military Expenditure Database, April 2025)

According to the Central Government Budget Monthly Realization Reports published by the Strategy and Budget Directorate of the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey, expenditures on national defense and security amounted to 593 billion Turkish Lira (TL) in the January–September period of 2025. This represents a significant year-on-year increase of 58% compared to the same period in 2024, when spending totaled 375 billion TL. The proportion of defense and security expenditures within total budgetary outlays also rose, increasing from 5.40 % in the third quarter of 2024 to 6.50% in the corresponding period of 2025.

Furthermore, in accordance with Article 12, titled "General Assembly," of the Company's Articles of Association, each Group A share grants its holder five votes at General Assembly meetings. Group B shares, by contrast, do not carry any special privileges.
The Company's management and representation in dealings with third parties are vested in the Board of Directors.
