T\u00fcrkiye<\/a>\u2019s Defense Industries Presidency (SSB), has unveiled a quantum<\/a> technologies roadmap aimed at developing new capabilities for the country\u2019s defense sector.<\/p>\n

The SSB Quantum Program was introduced at a ceremony hosted by the presidency, bringing together Higher Education Council President Erol \u00d6zvar, university rectors, academics and defense industry<\/a> representatives.<\/p>\n

Defense Industries President Haluk G\u00f6rg\u00fcn<\/a> said quantum technologies had moved beyond a theoretical scientific field and become a strategic capability area.<\/p>\n

New-generation capabilities in computing, sensing and communications will directly shape the future of defense industries, G\u00f6rg\u00fcn said.<\/p>\n

He said quantum technologies could provide advantages in areas including cryptology, optimization, data analysis, simulation and signal-independent navigation systems.<\/p>\n

G\u00f6rg\u00fcn said T\u00fcrkiye was part of a global race in the field and needed to develop its own roadmaps based on national priorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cDependence on critical technologies is not merely a procurement issue,\u201d he said, adding that it was also linked to sovereignty.<\/p>\n

G\u00f6rg\u00fcn said T\u00fcrkiye had reduced external dependence in defense industries over the past two decades and turned field experience from security forces into domestic products and capabilities.<\/p>\n

He also underlined the role of human resources, saying the average age in T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s defense industry is 34 and that the sector has a young engineering base.<\/p>\n

G\u00f6rg\u00fcn said T\u00fcrkiye ranks 11th globally in defense industry exports.<\/p>\n

Several projects were signed during the event, including the Superconducting Quantum Processor Unit Development Project and the KERTER\u0130Z Project, which focuses on the use of quantum magnetometers for navigation and submarine detection.<\/p>\n

A strategic cooperation protocol on quantum technologies and the SSB Quantum Algorithm Competition were also signed.<\/p>\n

Officials also presented the SSB Quantum Program and gave information on the newly launched T\u00fcrkiye Quantum Platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s Defense Industries Presidency (SSB), has unveiled a quantum technologies roadmap aimed at developing new capabilities for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":841,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[14,116,611,595,610],"class_list":["post-840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-defence-industry","tag-defense-industry","tag-haluk-grgn","tag-quantum","tag-trkiye"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=840"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/840\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
