Aselsan's GÖZDE Guidance Kit has made history by precisely striking a high-speed moving target during a test conducted with F-16 fighter jet.
Aselsan conducted a live-fire test showcasing GÖZDE’s exceptional precision strike capability on Feb. 27. Developed jointly by Aselsan and TÜBİTAK Defense Industries Research and Development Institute (SAGE), GÖZDE successfully tracked and neutralized its target in motion through its integrated INS/GNSS/Laser Seeker guidance system after being designated by an electro-optical system on the F-16 aircraft.
GÖZDE enhances the power of aerial platforms by enabling precise engagement of both stationary and moving targets. Developed without any propulsion system, it makes the highly effective MK-82 bomb family weighing 500 LB capable of hitting moving and precision targets with a cost-effective approach, thanks to its advanced guidance and navigation capabilities.
With its ability to engage both stationary and moving targets, GÖZDE is highly effective across a broad range of operational scenarios. Integrated into both manned and unmanned
platforms such as F-16 and Bayraktar AKINCI, GÖZDE provides a critical advantage in Türkiye’s airspace, reinforcing the country’s advanced strike capabilities.
"With the successful demonstration of GÖZDE’s ability to engage high-speed moving
targets with pinpoint accuracy, we have proudly displayed Aselsan's distinctive capabilities in precision-strike technologies," said Aselsan President & CEO Ahmet Akyol. "This game-changing capability, possessed by only a few countries, provides a significant strategic advantage and enhances international competitiveness. As we move toward our 2030 vision of becoming one of the world’s top 30 defense companies, this achievement reinforces our commitment to delivering cutting-edge, indigenous solutions that meet the evolving demands of modern warfare."
