T-925 is the only domestically produced alternative for needs such as amphibious landing and personnel transport, logistics, and VERTREP, as well as heavier class ASW/ASuW, also wide area surveillance - early warning helicopters needs. But as example like Lynx Wildcat (AW159), T-625 Gökbey is already in production and sufficiently mature so can be configure for more tactical missions and general surface and underwater combatant, and even as a fire support operations, could actually form a navalized helicopter configuration much earlier.
If the Gökbey were to be used as the basis for a navalized project, its weight of approximately 6 tons would allow it to be deployed on almost all naval platforms. In its standard configuration, it could achieve an endurance of up to 4 hours, which could be extended to 5 hours with external tanks. With its low maintenance and initial acquisition costs, it could be ordered in much larger numbers. Its lower noise and vibration profile, along with its dimensions providing a rapid reaction and mobility advantage, can be a highly valuable ASW helicopter. In short, it's versatile, economical, can land on any ship, and can meet very specific needs such as ASW/ASuW, SAR, VERTREP (albeit limited), AMCM (Airborne Mine Countermeasures), MEDEVAC (Medical Evacuation), MIO (Maritime Surveillance Operation), and even OTHT. And this helicopter could be ready for production at least a few years before the T925.
On the naval side, our biggest advantage is that almost all weapon systems and avionics to be integrated into this type of helicopter are ready or already in the naval forces' inventory. The real work is navalization of platform and system integration.
