Summary/Abstract: Today’s unpredictable security environment, in which complicated and multiplied threats are originated from both state and non-state actors, poses a serious challenge to national security. When rapid technological change and its associated risks are combined with renewed great power competition, the vulnerability of defense systems significantly increases as a result of power, knowledge, and threat asymmetry. Often defined as the ability to resist and recover from the effects of hazards in an efficient and timely manner, the concept of resilience has become highly prominent in the security and defense domain since national security necessitates strengthened civil-military capabilities. In order to maintain operational readiness in case of both national and international crises, conflicts, and emergencies, continuous functionality of these capabilities including the ability to protect critical infrastructure, assist coalition operations, and develop new technology has the utmost significance. Accordingly, this study aims to discuss the significance of building resilience in the defense industry based on the Turkish case.
