About Kopplung Systems
Kopplung Systems is a systems-engineering-driven defense technology company headquartered in Darmstadt with manufacturing in Ankara. The company develops and manufactures systems for secure connectivity and resilient navigation of autonomous platforms in GNSS-denied environments – including tactical mesh datalinks, CRPA-based GPS/GNSS anti-jamming solutions, RF solutions for smart munitions, RF and microwave subsystems, and antenna solutions for UAVs, UGVs, cruise missiles, maritime systems and infrastructure. Services include requirements analysis, architecture definition, subsystem integration, verification and transition to series production, complemented by prototyping, high-mix low-volume manufacturing of RF/microwave modules, Environmental Stress Screening to MIL standards, and the construction of ISO-14644-1-compliant cleanrooms. The combination of German systems engineering with NATO-allied manufacturing capacity in Turkey enables fast and cost-efficient development and production with European IP.
