ASELSAN Unveils New Underwater Drone, GOKSUR VLS, CENK 4D Radar at IDEF 2025

Turkish defense firm ASELSAN has unveiled a new suite of naval systems at the IDEF 2025 defense exhibition, introducing the DERİNGÖZ autonomous underwater vehicle, the GÖKSUR vertical launch missile system, and the CENK 4D AESA radar — all designed to provide layered protection across maritime domains.

DERİNGÖZ is a fully autonomous underwater vehicle equipped for long-endurance missions such as surveillance, reconnaissance, and mine countermeasures. It operates without human intervention in complex underwater environments and is designed for deployment in both defensive and exploratory naval tasks.

GÖKSUR VLS, the new point-defense missile system, provides short-range protection against sea-skimming cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and fast fighter aircraft. Its AI-powered fire control system can detect and neutralize multiple threats in real time, under difficult operating conditions.

CENK 4D, featuring a 2-axis AESA radar array, serves as the primary situational awareness tool in the suite. The radar continuously scans hundreds of air and surface targets, maintaining precision even in high sea states and adverse weather. It is integrated with ASELSAN’s IDENTIFFY SSR-850 IFF system to enable advanced electronic target identification and secondary surveillance.
