Turkey draws attention with the high-tech products it has developed in the defense industry. One of these is the AK-47, which is an important part of Turkey's layered air defense system. STEEL DOME application of the system at sea GÖKSUR Point Air Defense SystemGÖKSUR stands out as a system that was developed to increase the security of the Naval Forces Command and can provide effective defense against many threats.
GÖKSUR's Mission and Development
GÖKSUR, Turkish Naval Forces Mavi vatan It is designed to defend naval platforms against anti-ship missiles, cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), fighter jets, helicopters and other threats in line with its strategy. TÜBİTAK SAGE developed by MERLIN missile is one of the basic components of GÖKSUR and attracts attention with its high-performance capabilities. This missile, GOKSURIt has been integrated into ships as a demonstration of the country's highly efficient air defense capabilities.
Last year, TCG BEYKOZ The firing tests conducted on the ship showed how effectively GÖKSUR can be integrated into naval platforms. During the tests, MKEIt was stated that the sea cannon of the 's were also used. This situation, TCG BEYKOZIt strengthens the possibility that it will continue its role as a test platform in the future.
Modular Structure and Export Potential
GÖKSUR has the ability to be adapted to different frigates and corvettes thanks to its modular structure. This feature makes GÖKSUR a defense system with high export potential, not only for Turkey. Especially EURONAVAL 2024 FairGÖKSUR, exhibited at the , attracted great attention in the international arena. At this fair, many foreign buyers interested in GÖKSUR's features and different configurations once again demonstrated Turkey's interest in the defense industry.
Different Configurations and Features
GÖKSUR was designed as a system with customizable configurations for different platforms. These include GÖKSUR 100-N VLS Vertical Launch System, GÖKSUR 100-N Combat Management System ve GÖKSUR 100-N/StA Independently Functioning System There are various options such as. Each configuration has been specially developed for specific missions and has been adapted to the various air defense needs of naval platforms.
Another important feature of GÖKSUR is GÖKSUR IIR missile is to optimize the air defense of naval platforms by using. In the design of the GÖKSUR IIR missile MERLIN Features such as adaptation of the missile to naval platforms, two-way data link and vertical launch capabilities have been added. Thanks to this, GÖKSUR has the capacity to provide effective defense against all kinds of threats.
GÖKSUR and BOZDOĞAN-DH Missile Capabilities
BOZDOGAN-DH The development of the missile was designed to work in harmony with GÖKSUR's sensors. This missile follows the target with sensor data from the ship and launches it in the terminal phase. IIR (Infrared Imaging Radar) The seeker aims at the target using the coil. Also, ASELSAN developed by GÖKDÖAN It is stated that the missile can also be integrated into the GÖKSUR system. GÖKDOĞAN, as a beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile, further strengthens GÖKSUR's threat detection and prevention capabilities.
Strategic Importance of GÖKSUR
Turkey's STEEL DOME the sea leg of the air defense system GOKSUR, is a project that reinforces Turkey's superiority in defense technologies. GÖKSUR's strengthening of Turkey's air defense capacity at sea and its large export potential increase the importance of this system in the international arena. In addition, BOZDOGAN-DH ve GÖKDÖAN Being equipped with advanced technology missiles such as these makes GÖKSUR an important option not only for Türkiye but also for the global defense market.
