The GÖZDE Guidance Kit, developed by ASELSAN and TÜBİTAK SAGE, has successfully hit a high-speed moving target with pinpoint accuracy. During a firing test conducted from an F-16, GÖZDE demonstrated its capability by striking a rapidly moving target with precision.
This test activity showcased GÖZDE’s precise strike capability. In the test, a high-speed moving vehicle target was successfully hit using the GÖZDE Guidance Kit. The target, laser-designated by an electro-optical system from the aircraft, was tracked and destroyed through GÖZDE’s integrated ANS/KKS/LAB sensor guidance.
As one of ASELSAN’s newest technologies, the GÖZDE Guidance Kit has provided the Turkish Armed Forces with a crucial capability in engaging high-speed moving targets. The joint success of ASELSAN and TÜBİTAK SAGE marks a significant step in enhancing the international competitiveness of Turkey’s defense industry.
GOZDE, designed by TÜBİTAK SAGE, is a guidance kit that converts 500 lb. class general-purpose bombs into all-weather smart guided munitions. The guidance control system contains an Inertial Navigation System, Global Positioning System, and Laser Seeker to hit high-priority fixed and moving targets.
The GÖZDE Guidance Kit enhances precision strikes against both stationary and moving targets, strengthening aerial strike capabilities. By converting MK-82 general-purpose bombs into precision-guided munitions equipped with ANS/KKS and Laser Seeker Head (LAB) guidance, it ensures accurate strikes on both stationary and high-speed moving targets.
Developed without a propulsion system, the GÖZDE Guidance Kit utilizes advanced guidance and navigation capabilities to enable the 500 lb MK-82 bomb family to effectively strike mobile and precision targets in a cost-effective manner. With these capabilities, GÖZDE provides the Turkish Armed Forces with a significant strategic advantage.
Capable of engaging both stationary and moving targets, GÖZDE operates effectively across extensive operational areas. Integrated into platforms such as the F-16 and Bayraktar Akıncı, this Guidance Kit plays a crucial role in aerial operations, offering a critical edge in national defense.
