New generation ASELSAN solutions in sea defense appear at EURONAVAL

According to the statement made by the company, ASELSAN responds to the changing needs of naval operations with the wide product family it has developed, ranging from deployable air defense to autonomous systems, from artificial intelligence-supported weapon solutions to electro-optics.

ASELSAN exhibits its new generation systems and advanced capabilities in the field of naval defense at EURONAVAL 2026 held in Paris, the capital of France.

The deployable GÖKDENIZ configuration, introduced for the first time at the fair, attracts great attention from visitors. The solution, which brings the field-proven capabilities of the KORKUT Air Defense System to naval platforms, stands out with its adaptable structure to different operational needs.

Designed to operate independently of the main platform, the deployable GÖKDENİZ attracts attention with its own power source and operator environment. The solution, which can be easily installed on civilian ships and critical systems, can be transported and redeployed to areas where it is needed. This structure offers a fast, flexible and effective solution against current air defense needs such as drone threats, especially in the protection of commercial ships and oil tankers passing through strategic and difficult waterways.

Advanced detection and situational awareness capabilities are among the important elements of sea defense. In this context, MERCAN 100 Electro-Optical System and artificial intelligence-supported AINEO BOX stand out.

While MERCAN 100 provides electro-optical reconnaissance and surveillance capability in submarines, AINEO BOX provides real-time image processing, automatic target detection, classification and tracking capabilities to electro-optical systems. Thus, ASELSAN transforms its competence in detection and image processing into higher operational performance on naval platforms.

"The security of the future at sea depends on agility and technological superiority"

ASELSAN General Manager Ahmet Akyol, whose views were included in the statement, pointed out that the changing maritime security environment increases the need for rapidly adaptable and mission-ready systems and said, "The security of the future at sea depends on combining proven systems in the field with autonomy, artificial intelligence and rapid deployment capability. With the deployable GÖKDENİZ, we carry our air defense capability to platforms and environments that require flexible and fast protection." he said.

Pointing out that new generation products increase efficiency in the field, Akyol said, "While responding to the increasing role of autonomous systems in naval operations with TUFAN and KILIÇ, we take our artificial intelligence-supported capabilities to a further level with our SMASH 30 and electro-optical products. We meet the needs of naval forces around the world with mission-ready systems that can adapt to different operational conditions." made his assessment.
