ASELSAN: GÖZDE guidance kit achieves precision strike on moving target in F-16 fighter test

By Defence Industry Europe

ASELSAN, Türkiye’s leading defence company, successfully tested its GÖZDE Guidance Kit by striking a high-speed moving target with pinpoint accuracy. The test, conducted on 27 February 2025 using an F-16 fighter jet, demonstrated the system’s advanced tracking and targeting capabilities.

 

Developed in collaboration with TÜBİTAK SAGE, GÖZDE features an integrated INS/GNSS/Laser Seeker guidance system. The kit enables the precise engagement of both stationary and moving targets by guiding the MK-82 bomb family without requiring a propulsion system.

 

 

 

 

GÖZDE enhances the operational capabilities of aerial platforms by providing cost-effective precision strike solutions. It is compatible with both manned and unmanned platforms, including the F-16 and Bayraktar AKINCI, expanding its role in modern warfare.

ASELSAN President and CEO Ahmet Akyol highlighted the strategic significance of this achievement, emphasising that only a few countries possess such precision-strike capabilities. He stated that this breakthrough reinforces ASELSAN’s position in international defence markets and supports its long-term vision for global competitiveness.

 

 

This successful demonstration underscores Türkiye’s advancements in indigenous defence technologies. By developing and integrating cutting-edge systems like GÖZDE, ASELSAN continues to strengthen the nation’s air power and contribute to evolving security needs.
