ASELSAN showcases new generation naval defence technologies at IDEF 2025

In the underwater operations domain, ASELSAN presented DERİNGÖZ, an autonomous vehicle engineered for extended missions in complex maritime environments. The system supports exploration, surveillance, mine countermeasure, and protective functions with autonomous navigation and long-endurance capability.

To bolster close-range surface defence, the company introduced GÖKSUR VLS, an advanced missile system capable of countering low-flying threats such as sea-skimming cruise missiles, UAVs, and fast fighter aircraft. Featuring AI-powered fire control, GÖKSUR can simultaneously detect and engage multiple targets under demanding operational conditions.

For surveillance and target tracking, ASELSAN launched the CENK 4D 2-Axis AESA Multifunctional Radar, a key component of naval situational awareness. Its fixed electronically scanned panels enable real-time tracking of hundreds of air and surface targets, even in rough sea states and adverse weather.

The radar system also incorporates the IDENTIFFY SSR-850 IFF, a secondary surveillance tool that enhances target identification through high-performance electronic beam steering. This integration ensures accurate and reliable classification of friendly and unknown units during operations.

Speaking at the launch, ASELSAN President & CEO Ahmet Akyol stated: “At IDEF 2025, we are proudly introducing our naval systems, each designed to address the requirements of today’s and future multidimensional maritime operations. These solutions reflect ASELSAN’s commitment to developing integrated, resilient, and adaptable technologies that strengthen naval forces, both in Türkiye and across the world.”
