ANKARA
Turkish defense contractor Aselsan and French defense contractor Thales on Thursday agreed to install Thales-made Lightweight Multi-role Missiles on Turkish Aselsan's launch-pad, the companies said in a joint statement released on Thursday.
Aselsan is known for its products in military communications and weapons systems. Thales is one of largest defense electronics contractors in the world with its revenue exceeding $16 billion in 2014.
The two companies have been working together since 2010, and have completed a long period of trials for the missiles and the launcher.
The agreement opens the way for more cooperation between the two companies, the statement said.
