BAKU. TurkicWorld:

A prominent Turkish defense company has been selected to develop a critical software system that will be used in intelligence flows at all NATO facilities around the world, in what marks one of the most important projects ever assigned by the military alliance to Türkiye, TurkicWorld reports citing Daily Sabah.

STM on Saturday said it notched up one of the biggest export successes of the Turkish defense sector in the field of software to date as it has been awarded two major contracts regarding the direction, collection, process, dissemination and use of intelligence information within NATO.

The decision was taken by the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency), which handles all acquisition, deployment and maintenance of communications and information systems for the alliance’s decision-makers and commanders.

Operating under the aegis of the Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB), STM Savunma Teknolojileri Muhendislik ve Ticaret A.S. produces innovative and high-technology systems for local and international customers.

STM beat out competition from several leading software companies affiliated to NATO member states to land what it said was “one of the largest software development projects ever assigned by NATO to Türkiye.”
