Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox government agency In Turkey, Defence Industry Agency (Шаблон:Lang-tr (SSB)); formerly Presidency of Defence Industries and Undersecretariat for Defence Industries (SSM) before that, is a civil institution established by the government to manage the Defence industry of Turkey and the supply of military technology. It was established under Law No. 3238 on 7 November 1985 under the name of "Defence Industry Development and Support Administration Office".
The Presidency has close relations with the Office of the President of Turkey, the Ministry of National Defence and the Turkish Armed Forces, as well as domestic and foreign defence industry companies. In addition to supporting projects and products based on domestic design and production, SSB gives importance to technological transfer of products and services acquired from foreign suppliers.
On 10 July 2018, it became affiliated with the Office of the President with the Presidential Decree No. 1 and its name was changed to "Presidency of Defence Industries".[1]
On 14 December 2020, the United States Department of State issued sanctions against the Turkish Defense Industry including "prohibition on granting specific U.S. export licenses and authorizations for any goods or technology transferred to SSB".[2][3]
On 16 May 2022, the agency has updated their logo and changed its English name to Defence Industry Agency from Presidency of Defence Industries; however the original Turkish name -Savunma Sanayii Başkanlığı- has been left untouched. At the same date, a new logo has been introduced to be more integrated with other agencies and presidencies of Turkey.[4]
