According to the information obtained by the AA correspondent, ASELSAN is developing weapon systems that can be used on land and sea platforms with its unique system design and integration approach.
Taking into account the demands of the security forces and the changing threats, the company adds new ones to its existing products.
ASELSAN conducted shooting tests with one of those products, Göker, which it has been working on for a while.
Operational tests and capability demonstration shots of the Göker 35-millimeter Multi-Purpose Weapon System, carried out with ASELSAN's own resources, were completed at the Ministry of National Defense's Karapınar Shooting Range.
ASELSAN also shared the developments and a video of the weapon on its social media accounts.
The system, which managed to destroy very small and difficult targets in the mini/micro unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) class at ranges far beyond the expected, also proved to be effective against land targets at very long ranges. Tests have shown that the system is ready for the duty.
