ASELSAN's GÖKKUBBE is ready for C-RAM missions
GÖKKUBBE Air Defense System, developed by ASELSAN, is ready to perform C-RAM missions. The first firing tests of the system were carried out successfully.
DSEI 2023 International Defense and Security Equipment Fair, held in London, the capital of the United Kingdom, opened its doors today. ASELSAN exhibited its GÖKKUBBE and KORKUT products in the international arena for the first time with DSEI 2023.
According to information obtained by SavunmaSanayiST.com from DSEI; ASELSAN developed the GÖKKUBBE Air Defense System against increasing and developing air threats. The system, which can host all kinds of air defense systems and sensors developed by ASELSAN, has different configurations according to need.
GÖKKUBBE has the capacity to perform point, area and regional air defense; Air defense systems such as KORKUT, HİSAR-A+, HİSAR-O+, GÖKDEMİR, GÖKER, GÖKBERK and SİPER will be able to operate. On the other hand, radar systems such as STR, KALKAN, MAR and AKR are also present in GÖKKUBBE.
First Mission: KORKUT C-RAM
While the development activities of the GÖKKUBBE System continue, testing activities have started in parallel. In this context, a significant gain was achieved in performing C-RAM missions with the KORKUT Air Defense Gun System.
KORKUT Air Defense Gun System has been actively used by the Turkish Armed Forces since 2016. ASELSAN made some changes to KORKUT, making the system effective against rocket, artillery and mortar threats known as C-RAM.
In this regard, during the tests carried out recently, KORKUT was successfully tested against an air target in the C-RAM category. Within the scope of the test scenario, the target, which was detected and tracked by radar, was locked and engaged by the KORKUT Weapon System via the AKR Radar on it.
With the 35mm ATOM Smart Ammunition with increased particle count fired by KORKUT, the air target in question was successfully destroyed by consuming a small amount of ammunition. Thus, it was confirmed that KORKUT, located within the GÖKKUBBE System, could perform the C-RAM mission.
Turkish solution to C-RAM needs
While many countries in the world are developing defense systems against air-breathing targets such as cruise missiles and aircraft, and ballistic missiles; The number of systems capable of destroying rocket, mortar and artillery ammunition can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
The main difficulty in this field is known to be the use of rocket, mortar and artillery ammunition in sudden attacks due to their low radar cross-section and easy deployment.
Combining its experience in both sensor and weapon system fields, ASELSAN aims to meet the C-RAM needs of both the Turkish Armed Forces and friendly and allied countries.
