According to the African online defense and security publication defenseweb, the Turkish defense firm ASISGUARD has recently been awarded a contract to provide an integrated border security solution for Nigeria.
This significant agreement demonstrates the company’s expertise in defense technology and highlights Nigeria’s commitment to strengthening its border security capabilities.
The project encompasses various products designed for detection, command and control, as well as preventive and intervention purposes.
Central to the contract are ASISGUARD’s highly advanced Songar drones. These unmanned aerial vehicles have gained international recognition for their exceptional performance and reliability in various defense applications.
Equipped with advanced artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, Songar drones can autonomously detect, track, and neutralize targets with precision and efficiency.
Notably, this is not the first contract awarded to Turkish ASISGUARD in Nigeria. In October of the previous year, the Turkish company supplied a minimum of 10 Songar armed drones to Nigerian counter-terrorism forces.
The delivery of SONGAR systems to the Nigerian Police Force and Army was completed by September 15, 2022.
In January 2022, Nigeria and Turkey initiated discussions on defense collaboration, including support in counter-terrorism efforts and the acquisition of various military hardware, such as attack helicopters, armed drones, and infantry systems.
Another Turkish company, Havelsan, confirmed last month that it exported its BAHA ‘Sub-Cloud Unmanned Aerial Vehicle’ to an undisclosed African country, believed to be Nigeria.
In their ongoing military partnership, Turkey has provided Nigeria with military hardware to aid its efforts against Boko Haram terrorists and other armed groups. Upcoming deliveries include six T-129 attack helicopters from Turkish Aerospace Industries, two offshore patrol vessels from Dearsan, and six Bayraktar TB2 UAVs from Baykar.
In recent years, the Nigerian military has cultivated ties with Turkish defense firms, acquiring a range of equipment from UAVs to offshore patrol vessels.
