Guardians of the Deep: ASELSAN’s Innovative Maritime Defense Solutions
In the current evolving threat milieu, naval forces necessitate technologies that provide accuracy, versatility, and resilience both above and beneath the waves. ASELSAN addresses this requirement with a series of robust maritime defense solutions that transform dominion over the seas. From submerged operations to state-of-the-art aerial defense and long-range radar surveillance, ASELSAN delivers integrated systems for safeguarding vital maritime territories.
Silent Power Beneath the Waves: DERİNGÖZ 100L/300 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV)
Designed for strategic underwater missions, ASELSAN’s DERİNGÖZ 100L/300 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) operates autonomously in intricate environments. Built for underwater exploration, surveillance, inspection of pipelines and cables, and protection of critical infrastructure, the DERİNGÖZ 100L/300 AUV can operate at depths reaching 300 meters. Its robust battery facilitates long-duration missions while maintaining seamless communication.
Its modular design allows for rapid adaptation to new assignments, enabling naval forces to swiftly recalibrate the system for various operational contexts. With the capability to navigate effectively and remain submerged for prolonged periods, DERİNGÖZ 100L/300 amplifies undersea domain awareness and fortifies the navy’s silent presence beneath the surface.
Multi-Layered Defense at Sea: GÖKSUR 100-N VLS Advanced Naval Point Defense Missile System
While ASELSAN’s DERİNGÖZ 100L/300 secures the underwater domain with precision and autonomy, protecting the surface of the water demands a different class of defense. ASELSAN’s GÖKSUR 100-N VLS Advanced Naval Point Defense Missile System guarantees the survival of naval platforms against high-speed, low-altitude threats. GÖKSUR is a highly effective solution featuring AI-driven fire control and loaded with Advanced Guided Missiles. The system allows for modular deployment on various vessel classifications, from corvettes to frigates. It includes a single Vertical Launcher with versatile configurations for distributed, multi-launcher, above-deck, or below-deck installations.
GÖKSUR 100-N VLS offers 360-degree aerial defense coverage and exceptional interception success rates, even during close engagements, making it a vital line of defense during supersonic confrontations. Earlier this year, the field-tested fire control system accomplished a successful live-fire assessment on the Turkish Navy’s Burak-Class corvette, marking a significant milestone in its operational preparedness.
Superiority and Precision: CENK 350-N 4D 2-Axis AESA Multifunctional Radar
While short-range defense systems like GÖKSUR offer essential protection at the surface, sustaining complete operational authority in contested maritime theaters necessitates advanced detection and tracking proficiency. In this context, ASELSAN’s CENK 350-N 4D 2-Axis AESA Multifunctional Radar serves as a crucial enabler, enhancing situational awareness far beyond the immediate danger zone.
With comprehensive 360-degree coverage and rapid beam steering, CENK 350-N guarantees uninterrupted tracking of high-speed threats, equipping naval commanders to detect, categorize, and respond before adversaries seize the initiative. Beyond surveillance, CENK 350-N enhances coordinated naval operations by supporting fire control, target tracking, and real-time threat analysis across diverse systems. It plays a pivotal role in network-enabled warfare by disseminating critical data to onboard and allied systems. With these advanced capabilities, CENK 350-N extends a vessel’s vision and authority well beyond the line of sight, transforming information superiority into tactical leverage.
From the autonomous accuracy of DERİNGÖZ 100L/300 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, to the swift firepower of GÖKSUR Advanced Naval Point Defense Missile System, and the expansive awareness provided by the CENK 350-N 4D 2-Axis AESA Multifunctional Radar, ASELSAN integrates a comprehensive suite of technologies that function cohesively. Each system is specifically crafted for a designated layer of the naval domain—beneath, upon, and above the sea—but it is through their seamless integration that true strength unfolds. Together, they form a cohesive and agile shield, providing modern navies the layered protection and adaptability essential to navigate an increasingly intricate maritime threat landscape.
