ASELSAN’s Self Propelled Air Defense Gun System is newly designed and developed for effective ground based air defense against modern air threats. The system consists of a platoon of three 35 mm Gun Systems and one Command Post that can operate full autonomously.
As an effective, reliable and maintainable Air Defense Solution from ASELSAN, KORKUT Platoon successfully realizes all the functions of detection, tracking, recognition, identification and destruction of the target.
The Korkut system is built on the ACV-30 platform manufactured by FNSS.
KORKUT SSA (Gun System)
KORKUT Air Defense Gun System is developed for the effective air defense of mechanized troops and mobile units. System has firing on the move capability with the stabilized and unmanned gun turret. KORKUT Gun System has capability of firing 35 mm Airburst Ammunition – which is also a product of ASELSAN – in addition to conventional type 35 mm ammunitions. KORKUT Gun System–together with 35 mm Airburst Ammunitionhighly improves the effectiveness of ground based air defense against modern air threats including air-to-ground missiles, cruise missiles and UAVs.
