HAVELSAN is a Turkish technology company that builds software-heavy products, solutions and services for armed forces, public bodies and private firms.

The company was founded in 1982 and is affiliated with the Turkish Armed Forces Foundation. Its business areas are command control and defence, simulation and training, information and communication technologies, robotics and autonomous systems, and cyber security.

In command control and defence, HAVELSAN makes geographic information systems and GNSS tools, including a GNSS protection system and a GNSS receiver. It also builds ground control stations and data distribution systems for ships and submarines, along with a timing hardware product called TimeMaster. Its ADVENT C4ISR mission system links with its other platforms.
