Under the coordination of the Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB), Türkiye has achieved a major milestone in naval power systems with the successful delivery of its indigenous Shore Power System for submarines. The project, led by ASPOWER, marks the production of the country’s most powerful and portable charging and power supply systems, designed to meet the operational and logistical needs of the Turkish Navy. With this accomplishment, Türkiye has replaced imported solutions with domestically engineered technologies, reinforcing both supply independence and technological sovereignty in critical defense infrastructure.

The newly developed system enables submarines to recharge their onboard batteries while docked, even in areas without established electrical infrastructure. Thanks to its portable configuration and generator-integrated design, the system can generate its own energy, ensuring operational flexibility in remote or undeveloped coastal zones. The Shore Power System is compatible with various submarine classes and provides stable, safe, and high-efficiency power transfer, equipped with advanced monitoring software and fault-protection mechanisms developed entirely in Türkiye.

ASPOWER General Manager Ramazan Demir emphasized that the company specializes in power electronics, including high-capacity electric charging systems, energy storage solutions, propulsion systems, motor drivers, UPS units, and inverter technologies, in addition to software-based video and AI-driven control solutions. He noted that the Shore Power System, developed and produced at ASPOWER’s Istanbul facility, achieved an impressive 94% localization rate, with all electronic boards, software, and hardware designed in-house. This high level of domestic content not only ensures sustainability and cost efficiency but also supports Türkiye’s goal of minimizing foreign dependency in strategic defense technologies.

Operationally, the system significantly enhances the Navy’s submarine readiness cycle by enabling faster, safer, and location-independent pre-mission battery charging. Its modular and portable design allows deployment across multiple bases and coastal environments, reducing downtime and maximizing fleet availability. By integrating this indigenous solution into its logistics network, the Turkish Navy strengthens its ability to sustain operations across the Blue Homeland (Mavi Vatan) domain. The project stands as a key example of Türkiye’s growing capabilities in power electronics and its expanding potential to export advanced naval support technologies.
