Roketsan Anti-Submarine Warfare Rocket is one of the main weapons of Tuzla class patrol ships designed and built by Dearsan Shipyard. The system was developed as a shorter range, easy to integrate and lightweight alternative to torpedoes. The rockets that follow a ballistic trajectory continue to sink when they enter the water and explode according to the time setting of the fuselage.
General features of the system:
- Servo-controlled turret structure stabilized on two axes
- Accurate shooting at the target area by using the information of the sensors (sonar, ship gyro, meteorological sensors, etc.) available on the ship.
- Integration into the Combat Management System
- Highly accurate ballistic calculation capability
- Salvo firing capability
- Automatic and manual orientation and continuous tracking on the driving and altitude axes
- Being ready to fire at any time after commissioning and working without time constraint
- System level fault detection and localization
