Then, the current and ongoing projects for the needs of the Turkish Armed Forces, General Directorate of Security, and Gendarmerie General Command were discussed.
The main agenda item of the meeting was the "Steel Dome Project", which aims to ensure the integration of layered air defense systems and all sensors and weapons under a network structure, the creation of a common air picture, its real-time delivery to operation centers, and its presentation to decision-makers with artificial intelligence support.
Other topics discussed at the meeting included the development of air defense and missile systems, future activities related to the National Combat Aircraft KAAN project, projects for the supply of Bayraktar TB3, AKINCI, and AKSUNGUR armed unmanned aerial vehicles and related subsystems, swarm-capable, kamikaze, and mini unmanned aerial and naval vehicle projects. Projects for the development of the country's space access capability, systems to increase situational awareness on land, air, and sea, electronic warfare systems, and defense system projects against swarm-capable kamikaze unmanned naval vehicles were also discussed.
The modernization of tanks and fighter jets using domestic and national capabilities, projects for the development of aircraft and naval vehicle engines and power transmission systems, projects for the supply of command control, communication, and information management systems, projects for the supply of Tactical Wheeled Armored Patrol Vehicle and Weapon Carrier Vehicles, various land vehicle supply projects, projects for the supply of Coastal Tugboat and Boat Systems, and projects for the establishment of infrastructure for quantum technologies were evaluated at the meeting.
The Defense Industry National Competence Initiative Project, which aims to develop and enhance the inventory of human resources competence required for the development of products and systems that will provide technological superiority to the country, was also discussed and decided upon.

What is the Steel Dome Project?
The Steel Dome Layered Air Defense System is being developed by ASELSAN. With Steel Dome, air defense systems developed by the Turkish defense industry such as KORKUT, HISAR-A+, GÖKDEMİR, GÖKER, GÖKBERK, HISAR-O+, and SİPER will be able to work together in an integrated manner. Radar and electro-optical systems that perform precise tracking, diagnosis, and classification of targets in addition to weapon systems will also operate as a whole within the Steel Dome.
As a result, the staff at the command control system headquarters will be able to see and manage all air defense weapons and sensor elements in the mission area as a whole. In addition, artificial intelligence will be used to support engagement decisions against targets.
