As far as we know, it is impact fuse for now, its on my ask bucket for SAHA EXPO

At 3:40 new ammunition against swarm attacks. Kinda short CIRIT. Very interesting ammunition, do they have time fuse? could it replace autocannons with smart ammunition?

Looks like our 40mm laser guided METE missile. Is it possible adding time fuse in METE? Would be efficient?


EDIT: Cirit or other laser guided weapons could not be time fused????
Remember they also don't have top attack capability.

laser guidence needs reflected energy. İf there is no reflection, missile could not engage.


I mean if you send laser beam on empty sky- where the target will pass through -missile will fly as much as possible. CIWS with Smart ammunition doesn't work like this. Am i wrong?

Hedefin bir iki saniye sonra muhtemelen nerede olacağını hesaplıyor, sonrada muhtemel noktada önceden patlayarak, tungsten bulut oluşturuyor. Demekki hedeften yansıma olmadığı sürece, lazer güdümü bunu yapamaz.??
Derdimi s.k.y.m:)

Edit2: there is a just rearward laser guided missile: Star streak!!!

Starstreak has rearward faced sensors.

The missile does not home in on laser energy reflected from the target; instead, the aiming unit projects two laser beams which paint a two-dimensional matrix upon the target. The lasers are modulated, and by examining these modulations the sub-munitions sensor can determine the dart's location within the matrix.

EDIT 3:
Thales LMM guided missile (UK) appears to have same rearward faced sensors.

Long story short:
Korkut CIWS and 40mm ATOM are irreplaceable,matchless!!!

"The first firing tests of the ramjet-propelled long-range air-to-air missile GÖKHAN, which is under development under the Prime Contractor TÜBİTAK SAGE, are expected to be carried out in 2025. However, in order to see the real performance of GÖKHAN, the MURAD AESA Nose Radar with long detection range capability must also be ready.... "


There's nothing to suggest so far that "a longer range Air-to-Air Missile than GÖKDOĞAN", isn't Gökhan.
"GÖKHAN, which is announced to be able to reach speeds close to Mach 5, will be equipped with the ASELSAN product AGRAS-200AA Active RF Seeker Head.."

As I thought, this was not a previously unannounced missile but the Gökhan.

"If the source code supply required for the integration of national missile and sensor systems (for the Tranche 3+ Block 7 version, which is also in the QEAF inventory) is possible as requested, we will be able to see GÖKHAN on the Eurofighter Typhoon as well..."

GÖKKURT Smart Ammunition (GAM) Family will be introduced for the first time at SAHA EXPO 2024 • The GAM Smart Ammunition Family developed by ASTECH draws attention with its warheads that are 2-3 times more powerful than its counterparts in the sector, long ranges and wide shooting envelope. • The GAM ammunition family, which can be used in SİHAs and fixed-wing aircraft, will provide operational superiority to the user in the battlefield with range options of 20, 40 and 80 kilometers and 16-kg warheads.

Lets see. While MAM-L are still good and useful, there are instances where the ammunition misses by a centimeter and the effect on target is greatly reduced. For some reason our drone operators are often reluctant on a double tap and in result the targeted HVT is getting away with injuries. If they manage to keep the price low and have a decent production rate then I think it is time for TSK and MIT to think about it.
