ÇAKIR Cruise Missile Hits Sea Target with IIR Seeker
ROKETSAN’s ÇAKIR lightweight cruise missile fired from Baykar’s AKINCI-B UCAV hit a sea target 100 km distance.
The missile reached a speed of 800 km/h or roughly Mach 0.67 in flight. The test marks another milestone with using an IIR seeker on the missile for the first time. ÇAKIR was fired for the first time from AKINCI in May 2023.
There are three types of seekers in total planned for ÇAKIR: IIR, RF, and Hybrid, combining the two.
IIR seekers for cruise missiles detect the image and heat of the target, providing better discrimination and resistance to jamming/clutter compared to RF seekers. These seekers can identify ground and sea targets, so they provide a multi-role capability.
