The GOKALP Counter-UAV System, developed by Turkish defence company Aselsan, detects threats using radar and electro-optical systems and autonomously eliminates hostile drones with interceptor drones.
Aselsan said on the Turkish social media platform NSosyal that the homegrown GOKALP provides a fully mobile and cost-effective counter-UAV shield with its vehicle-integrated design.
A demonstration of the GOKALP Counter-UAV System, developed by Aselsan, was conducted at the company's Ogulbey Technology Base.
During the demonstration, the AURA radar detected a target drone, and the DRONEDEF system's command-and-control software transmitted real-time data to the GOKALP E1 interceptor drone.
The GOKALP E1 then destroyed the target drone in midair using the hit-to-kill method, striking it directly.
The successful demonstration once again proved the integrated operational capabilities of the system's various components and its interception effectiveness under field conditions.
Aselsan signed agreements worth $2.75 billion with Türkiye’s Secretariat of Defence Industries for the procurement of hybrid air defence systems on October 5.
