Roketsan (Turkey) Launches “ÇAKIR” – Anti-Jamming Multi-Platform Anti-Ship Cruise Missile Family


Roketsan, a well-known Turkish defense equipment manufacturer, has just launched a new family of anti-ship missiles labeled “ÇAKIR.” On March 31, at a press conference in Ankara, the AKIR was launched as a multi-platform anti-ship cruise missile that can be launched from land, sea and air.

Specifically AKIR can be launched from fixed and rotary-wing aircraft, aerial combat drones (UCAV), marine drones, tactical wheeled vehicles and naval platforms, and offers operational versatility against ground and surface targets. It is said that the AKIR has a cruising range of up to 150 km.

AKIR is powered by a domestically made turbojet engine, KTJ-1750, developed by Kale Arge. AKIR easily performs tasks involving 3D waypoints defined during mission planning. With its unique warhead selection and hit point features, this cruise missile is claimed to offer high destructive power.


AKIR has the ability to strike targets with high precision in all weather conditions thanks to its advanced mid-phase and terminal phase guidance systems. The network-based datalink facilitates Man-in-the-Loop capability for target updates and re-attacks for in-flight target opportunities, and of course mission aborts.

The most notable feature of the AKIR is its design, which allows the platform to carry multiple payloads and its ability to carry out swarm missions with multiple missiles.

The swarm concept, in which a coordinated attack scenario with multiple missiles is activated, can be used to overcome enemy defense systems and ensure high effectiveness against one or several targets.

Roketsan says AKIR has high survivability thanks to its unique design with radar-absorbing material used in the frame. Like most anti-ship missiles, the AKIR has super sea skimming and terrain masking capabilities in combination with a radar-absorbing structure that minimizes detection by enemy air defense systems.
 
Thanks to GNSS anti-jamming technology and an inertial navigation system supported by a radar altimeter, the AKIR can keep going even in the event of intense electronic interference.


Roketsan said that the cruise missile design study is still ongoing, with the first test scheduled for this year (2022), and platform integration for 2023.
