GÖZDE guidance kit, which will be delivered within the scope of the Modern Ammunition Supply Project signed with the Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB), is ready for mass production. GÖZDE guidance kit, developed in partnership with TÜBİTAK SAGE, is 500 lb. It transforms MK-82 general purpose bombs in its class into INS/GPS and Laser Seeker Head (LAB) guided ammunition, enabling precise hitting of fixed and high-speed moving (50-120 km/h) targets.
Flight tests of GÖZDE ammunition were completed and the first firing tests were carried out from the F-16 and AKINCI SİHA platforms. In shooting tests, the target was hit with high precision. Serial production of GÖZDE guidance kit continues.
Within the scope of the F-16 certification tests, the shootings were carried out successfully at the Konya Karapınar Shooting Range. In the activity attended by SSB, Air Force Command, ASELSAN and TÜBİTAK SAGE representatives; GÖZDE-ANS guided-kit bomb hit the laser-marked target by the tracking plane with full accuracy.
Afterwards, GÖZDE was integrated into the AKINCI platform with successful firing tests. GOZDE-ANS; MK-82(500 lb) is a kit that makes general purpose bombs ANS/Laser guided, and it also works effectively against moving targets thanks to the Laser Seeker Head.
Haluk Görgün: It will provide a significant advantage to our country
ASELSAN Chairman of the Board and General Manager Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün stated that the flight tests of the GÖZDE ammunition were carried out successfully and said, "In the first firing tests, the GÖZDE-ANS guided-kit bomb, which was thrown at a speed of 28.500 Mach from a height of 0.9 feet, hit the target at a range of 13 km, which was marked with a laser by the follower aircraft. Another GÖZDE-ANS guided-kit bomb, which was thrown at a speed of 16 Mach from a height of 40 thousand feet in the ongoing activities within the scope of the F-0.9 certification tests, hit the target with a laser-marked 21 km range, which was marked with a laser by the follower aircraft. GOZDE-ANS; MK-82 (500 lb) is a kit that makes general purpose bombs ANS/Laser guided, and it has the ability to hit targets at a range of 16 km with high precision when dropped from an altitude of 40 thousand feet from F-28 aircraft.
