National Anti-Submarine Warfare system developed for submarine warfare attracts interest with its high quality, as part of Turkey's campaign for nationalizing its defense industry
Turkish government aims at nationalizing the defense system utterly by supporting domestic research and development processes and production in order to better defend its national interests through military means.
As part of this project, many private companies and other small and medium businesses are working incessantly on nationalizing Turkey's defense industry.
Yeni Şafak thus evaluated Anti-Submarine Defense Warfare (ASW/DHS) Rockets and Launchers System, developed by Roketsan, a state-run missiles and related weapons manufacturer and defense contractor based in Ankara.
Roketsan's ASW system draws attention as one of newest and most advanced underwater defensive weapons systems. Developing to be used on underwater targets by launching from ground platforms, the system can be effectively utilized on a range between 500 and 2000 meters and at 15 – 300 meters depths.
A cheaper and more effective defensive weapon
The Anti-Submarine Defense Warfare system of Roketsan has been developed to easily and economically neutralize underwater threats which is costly with torpedoes because sonars are not able to precisely detect littoral targets.
Having an automatic control mechanism, the ASW system works integrated with steering weapons system and sonars of ground centers.
Besides and more importantly, the ASW missiles with high-explosive warheads have the “Insensitive Munitions" (IM) feature which is seen indispensable in modern warfare technology. Its launcher system has been developed with stabilization as well as automatic and manual steering qualities.
The launching control system calculates necessary firing essentials by using information on the navigation and target, provided by the ground control platform.
