The Turkish Coast Guard Command has launched its data center which has now been commissioned with an opening ceremony held. The data center is part of the SahilNET project which was signed between the Coast Guard and Havelsan in September 2021. That project will see the establishment of a network of data centers with hardware and software products to assist with the Coast Guard's operations.
Rear Admiral Ahmet Kendir, commander of the Turkish Coast Guard, said: “The Turkish Coast Guard Command has experienced substantial growth in recent years, giving rise to new technological requirements. The headquarters data center is a vital component in addressing these emerging needs and further enhancing the operational effectiveness of our Command.”
Mustafa Murat Şeker, deputy president of the Presidency of Defence Industries, added: “As the Presidency of Defence Industries, we remain committed to supporting the technological advancements of the Turkish Coast Guard Command. We are pleased with the successful completion of this initial phase of the SahilNET Project, which represents a key investment in national security infrastructure.”
Havelsan's general manager, Mehmet Akif Nacar, stated: “As Havelsan, we are dedicated to delivering advanced technological solutions to the Turkish Coast Guard Command. Through the SahilNET Project, we aim to establish a holistic and integrated data management model, contributing to the Command’s digital transformation.”
