ASELSAN’s ROADGUARD system has been deployed at central points in Ankara as part of the security measures taken for the NATO Summit. The system, which will operate in critical areas across the capital, aims to strengthen field control by security forces and create an additional layer of protection against potential risks during the summit. Developed by ASELSAN, one of Türkiye’s leading companies in defense electronics, the solution once again highlights the use of indigenous technologies in high-security organizations.

Urban security is of great importance in international events such as NATO summits, where numerous state representatives, military officials and senior delegations participate. In this context, managing traffic flow, preventing unauthorized vehicle passages, controlling access to sensitive areas and protecting security corridors are among the critical priorities. ROADGUARD is positioned as a system that supports security measures on important routes and central points to meet these needs.

ASELSAN’s ROADGUARD solution is considered suitable for use in areas requiring high security, such as critical facilities, public buildings, temporary security zones, event areas and military campuses. Its deployment in Ankara for the NATO Summit shows that indigenous defense technologies play an active role not only on the battlefield, but also in urban security and critical infrastructure protection. In this respect, ROADGUARD serves as a complementary solution that strengthens the preventive measures of security forces in the field.

In modern security concepts, threats are not limited to the air, land or cyber domains. In large-scale diplomatic and military events, vehicle-borne threats, sabotage attempts, unauthorized crossings and security risks targeting crowded areas must also be carefully managed. Therefore, systems such as ROADGUARD have become an important part of physical security architecture. Deployed at central points in Ankara, the system stands out as one of the visible field elements of the multi-layered security measures taken for the summit.

ASELSAN’s capabilities in this field are considered a reflection of Türkiye’s approach to developing indigenous and national solutions for critical security needs. The use of ROADGUARD in an international event with high visibility such as the NATO Summit demonstrates the level reached by domestic defense industry products in terms of reliability, effectiveness and operational suitability. The system contributes to controlled access and perimeter security in sensitive areas while easing the workload of security personnel.

As a result, the deployment of ASELSAN ROADGUARD at critical points in Ankara for the NATO Summit marks an important development showing that Türkiye can effectively use indigenous security technologies in strategic organizations. This deployment will contribute both to strengthening summit security and to increasing the visibility of ASELSAN’s solutions in urban security and critical infrastructure protection.
