Point missile defense systems are critical components of modern military defense strategies, designed to provide close-in protection against a wide range of airborne threats, including missiles, aircraft, and UAVs. These systems are typically deployed on naval vessels, land-based platforms, and air defense systems, offering high-precision interception capabilities to safeguard assets in complex and dynamic environments. With their rapid response times and ability to engage multiple targets simultaneously, point missile defense systems are essential for ensuring the security and survivability of military platforms in the face of evolving threats.
The GÖKSUR 100-N is the new, enhanced configuration of the GÖKSUR, now featuring a 20-missile capacity. At the heart of this upgraded system is the GÖKSUR IIR missile, an infrared imaging (IIR) guided missile originally developed for air-to-air combat, now adapted for superior naval defense capabilities. This missile brings high precision and exceptional performance in countering diverse modern threats in complex maritime environments.
The GÖKSUR 100-N is engineered to provide unmatched defense with a range of advanced capabilities, making it a game-changer in naval missile defense. Key highlights include:
● 360-Degree Coverage: The system offers complete target destruction capability across 360 degrees, ensuring no blind spots in the defense perimeter.
● Rapid Deployment: With a short deployment time, the system can operate effectively under adverse sea conditions, making it ideal for fast-moving, unpredictable maritime environments.
● Multi-Target Engagement: Equipped with an advanced fire control system powered by artificial intelligence, the GÖKSUR 100-N can engage multiple threats simultaneously, offering enhanced protection against diverse and evolving threats.
● Mid-Course Guidance: The missile’s mid-course guidance capability allows for interception of sophisticated anti-ship threats.
● Enhanced Missile Capacity: The 20-missile configuration boosts operational flexibility, enabling the system to address multiple targets concurrently.
● Long Range: With a 15 km range, the system provides extended defense coverage.
● Target Versatility: The GÖKSUR 100-N is highly effective against sea-skimming anti-ship missiles, cruise missiles, UAVs, fighter jets, and helicopters, providing a comprehensive shield for naval platforms.
● High Kill Probability: With its superior guidance and tracking systems, the GÖKSUR 100-N offers a high probability of kill with a single shot.
● Modular Design: Its flexible architecture allows it to be tailored for various vessel types, enhancing integration and operational adaptability.
● Integration Flexibility: The system can function either standalone or integrated into a Combat Management System (CMS), providing versatile operational modes.
ASELSAN offers the GÖKSUR Point Missile Defense System in several configurations, ensuring adaptability to different naval platforms and operational requirements:
● GÖKSUR 100-N VLS (Vertical Launcher System): This version employs a vertical launch system, offering enhanced space efficiency and reduced response times, making it ideal for modern warships where space and speed are critical.
● GÖKSUR 100-N/StA (Standalone Turret): The standalone turret variant is designed for independent operation, offering flexible deployment options for vessels of varying sizes and capabilities.
Both configurations are built with modularity in mind, enabling seamless integration with different types of defense platforms and combat systems, whether they require vertical launch options or turret-based deployment. The flexibility of these configurations ensures that users can tailor their air and missile defense capabilities to meet specific tactical and operational needs.
