GÖKTUĞ Air to Air Missile Family

Aiming to increase Turkish Air Force’s air superiority, development of exemplary Within-Visual-Range (WVR) and Beyond-Visual-Range (BVR) Air to Air missiles to be launched from F-16 aircrafts continues at a great speed.

Two novel missiles are being developed under the program. WVR achieves high maneuverability in short range with Imaging Infrared (IIR) Seeker and BVR employs a state-of-the-art Active Radar Seeker.

Developed by TUBITAK SAGE, GÖKTUĞ BVR (Gökdoğan) and GÖKTUĞ WVR (Bozdoğan) are the first indigenous air-to-air missiles of Turkey. GÖKTUĞ BVR is also the first missile with an Active Radar Seeker developed in Turkey. TÜBİTAK SAGE, who has broken ground by developing critical systems and transferring these products to the defense industry, achieved a giant step forward for the future development of Air Defense Missiles.
