A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that outlines the main areas of collaboration to be developed between the Republic of Turkey's Aselsan Elektronik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S (ASELSAN) and the European engine consortium Eurojet Turbo GmbH (Eurojet) was signed today by representatives of both companies.

The MoU was signed by Dr. Faik Eken, General Manager of ASELSAN and Clemens Linden, CEO of EUROJET. The purpose of the MoU is to pave the way for further discussions to explore potential opportunities for business collaboration on Engine Control Units, Health and Usage Monitoring System and software developments projects relating to the EJ200 engine program.

The intended collaboration is primarily based on the EJ200 engine, which is currently employed on the Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jet and may find application in the Turkish TFX program. The parties have also agreed to explore further opportunities targeting the global market.
