Being a stakeholder on Airbus Defence and Space with more than 5% share, Turkish Aerospace has succeeded for the first time "Design to Build," which is design data has been created by Turkish Aerospace, instead of "Build to Print," which is ready design data, on the A400M program. Turkish Aerospace is currently managing the production and delivery processes of 405 detail and sub-assembly parts for the DIRCM Project of A400M aircraft. With the integration of the DIRCM system, the aircraft gained a capability that will enable 360-degree detection of multiple missiles with its multi-target capability.

Currently, for the A400M program; Forward Center Fuselage, Tail Cone and Rear Fuselage Top Panel, Flaps / Speed Brakes, Paratrooper & Emergency Exit Doors, lighting systems, primary design and supply of waste/clean water systems, final assembly line management/support as well as design and manufacture of fuselage wiring, excluding the cockpit all interior and exterior lighting systems are all continued under the responsibility of Turkish Aerospace. Also, DIRCM structural design and analysis, equipment assembly design, retrofit solution design, detailed part production, assembly, and a total of 2 km of new cable manufacturing for each aircraft have been included in its business package.

Sharing thoughts regarding the integrated DIRCM system, Prof. Temel Kotil, President & CEO of Turkish Aerospace, said, "Turkish Aerospace continues to contribute to the aerospace abilities of our country by integrating aerostructure parts of Next-Generation Technology platform first time into A400M. We continue our perfect production and delivery processes in the A400M program, which is among the world's largest aircraft. I congratulate our colleagues who contributed to the success."
