Gözde bomb guidance kit scores historic Bullseye on a moving target
March 7, 2025
The Gözde Guidance Kit, was jointly developed by Aselsan and Tübitak Defense Industries Research and Development Institute (SAGE) and consists of an integrated INS/GNSS/Laser Seeker, which can be fitted to the Mk 82 bomb family to produce a cost-effective precision guided bomb that is capable of precise engagement of both stationary and moving targets by leveraging its advanced guidance and navigation capabilities.
It is intended to equip both manned and unmanned platforms, including the F-16C/D and the Bayraktar Akinci UCAV.
In the recent test, Aselsan’s Gözde Guidance Kit precisely struck a high-speed moving target, successfully tracking and neutralizing its target.
Aselsan President and CEO Ahmet Akyol noted that: “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. 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 defence companies, this achievement reinforces our commitment to delivering cutting-edge, indigenous solutions that meet the evolving demands of modern warfare.”
Mehmet Fatih Kacir, the Minister of Industry and Technology, Republic of Türkiye said that: “We continue to work on projects that will strengthen our country’s security without slowing down. The test firing of the Gözde guidance kit, developed in partnership with Tübitak SAGE and ASELSAN, against a fast target from an F16 was completed successfully. Gözde has become the guidance kit that has hit its target the fastest.
