Aselsan’s GOKSUR Point Defence Missile System uses a missile that is derived from Bozdogan WVR air to air missile. According to unconfirmed sources it may have a maximum effective altitude of 8 to 9 km which should cover any jet fighters/fixed wing or rotary wing platforms. But it is most effective against sea skimming threats with an effective range stated by Aselsan as 15km. To have 20 missiles ready to use in canisters gives plenty to shoot against saturation attacks. Standard version uses ship radars to target. The stand alone version uses an Akrep 200N Aesa radar to target.
On paper it is a much better and economical missile system than the Rolling Airframe Missile systems we have on our Ada Class corvettes.
