FNSS was founded as a joint venture between FMC Corporation and Nurol Holding as FMC Nurol Savunma Sanayii A.Ş. It is a major supplier of tracked and wheeled armored vehicles and weapon systems for the Turkish Armed Forces and Allied Armed Forces.

In May 2026, FNSS Defence Systems and the Czechoslovak Group (CSG) announced a strategic cooperation agreement for the joint development and production of armoured vehicle platforms for European and international markets, with the CFL-120 Karpat combat vehicle unveiled at the IDEB 2026 defence exhibition in Bratislava as the first product of the partnership. The vehicle is based on the FNSS Kaplan MT chassis and is equipped with Leonardo’s HITFACT Mk II turret armed with a 120 mm gun, and the companies have stated that the cooperation may expand to additional tracked armoured systems in future phases.
