ROKETSAN integrates indigenous missiles into Turkish naval platforms
ROKETSAN CEO Murat İkinci discussed the company’s indigenous guided-munition projects at the naval defense exhibition held as part of TEKNOFEST Mavi Vatan. The company’s Atmaca, Akya and Akata integrations have eliminated the need for foreign suppliers in the relevant areas.
ROKETSAN is continuing work to integrate indigenous guided munitions into different platforms as part of its efforts to strengthen naval defense capabilities with domestic solutions.
ROKETSAN CEO Murat İkinci discussed the company’s ongoing projects at the naval defense exhibition organized במסגרת TEKNOFEST Mavi Vatan.
Naval defense products showcased at the exhibition
During the four-day event, Türkiye’s maritime capabilities, underwater technologies and defense industry products are being presented to visitors. Alongside platforms from different classes operated by the Turkish Naval Forces, unmanned systems, aircraft, air defense systems and missile systems are also being exhibited.
Competitions involving young engineering candidates are also being held as part of the program.
Atmaca, Akya and Akata systems
İkinci announced that the indigenous Atmaca anti-ship missile had been integrated into frigates and other domestically built corvettes. He said this had eliminated the need for foreign suppliers in the relevant area.
İkinci said ROKETSAN’s heavy-class Akya torpedo had given the Turkish submarine fleet strike capability without the need for foreign providers. He added that integrating the Akata system into submarines enabled these platforms to launch Atmaca cruise missiles.
MIDLAS integration completed
İkinci said the integration of the Siper and Hisar missiles into the indigenous MIDLAS vertical launch system had been completed.
İkinci said testing and trials of the Levent close-in air defense missile system were continuing, adding that they expected the system to achieve significant export success, particularly in the Gulf region. He made this assessment in reference to the Iran-Israel war.
Missile development for unmanned naval vehicles
İkinci said installing guided missiles on armored unmanned surface vehicles would enhance the capabilities of these platforms. He added that the Cirit, Sungur, Çakır and L-UMTAS missiles served as force multipliers for the Turkish Naval Forces.
İkinci said ROKETSAN’s work was reducing Türkiye’s dependence on foreign sources while also offering allied countries an alternative source of supply.
