TCG Beykoz Corvette Test-Fires GÖKSUR Air Defence Missile TurDef
ASELSAN and TÜBİTAK SAGE’s joint development GÖKSUR naval short-range air defence missile was fired from the Burak-class corvette TCG Beykoz (F-503).
GÖKSUR’s first firing test was performed on February 16, 2025. The missile developed from TÜBİTAK SAGE’s BOZDOĞAN within visual range air-to-air missile (WVRAAM) was launched from a fixed launcher.
The interesting part of this test is the fixed launcher being the angled configuration of the VLS developed for GÖKSUR 100-N VLS configuration. Thus, the next stages of testing will likely involve vertical launch from the same or another testbed platform.
GÖKSUR missile is the common missile for the GÖKSUR 100 family of point defence missile systems, which consists of GÖKSUR 100-N/StA (Stand-Alone with AKREP 200-N AESA radars and EO/IR, 12 missiles), GÖKSUR 100-N (no onboard sensors, 20 missiles), and GÖKSUR 100-N VLS (Modular vertical launch version).
GÖKSUR missile has folding rear fins to fit inside the cells and a two-way data link for use as an air defence missile. With a range of 15 km, the missile can engage cruise missiles, helicopters, UAVs, and USVs.
