AN ANALYSIS OF THE FEASIBILITY OF BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY IN THE NATIONAL DEFENSE INDUSTRY

Bu çalışmanın amacı milli savunma sanayiinde teknoloji yatırımlarının yönetiminde blokzincir teknolojisi uygulamasının gerçekleştirilebilirliğini analiz etmek ve değerlendirmektir. Milli savunma teknoloji şirketleri ve kurumları arasında teknoloji işbirliğini ve ortaklıklarını sağlamada blokzincir teknolojisi önemli bir araç ve alt yapı sunabilme potansiyeline sahiptir. Blokzincir teknolojisinin savunma sanayii alanında yaygınlaşacağı ve maliyetinin zamanla düşeceği öngörülmektedir. Blokzincir teknolojisinin savunma sanayii şirketleri tarafından kullanımında işbirliği ortamında veri paylaşımı ve güven değerlendirmesi önemli sorun alanları olarak görülmektedir. Türkiye’nin milli savunma sanayii hamlesinde blokzincir teknolojisinin etkili şekilde kullanılması için yasal temellerin ve platformların oluşturulması ve bu konuda bir devlet stratejisinin bulunması gerekmektedir.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE FEASIBILITY OF BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY IN THE NATIONAL DEFENSE INDUSTRY

The aim of this study is to analyze and evaluate the feasibility of blockchain technology in the management of technology investments in the national defense industry. Blockchain technology (BT) has the potential to provide an important tool and infrastructure in providing technical cooperation and partnerships between national defense technology companies and institutions. It is predicted that BT shall become widespread in the field of defense industry and its cost shall decrease over time. Data sending and assessment of trust in the collaborative ambiance are seen as important problem areas in the use of blockchain technology by defense industry companies. In order to use blockchain technologies effectively in Turkey’s move of national defense industry, legal foundations, and platforms should be established and a state strategy should be formed in this regard.
