ATMACA anti-ship missile

ATMACA Missile, which can be used in all weather conditions, is effective against stationary and moving targets with its resistance to countermeasures, target update, retargeting, mission termination capacity and advanced mission planning system (3D routing). ATMACA, just like SOM, developed by TÜBİTAK-SAGE and produced by ROKETSAN, is approaching the target. zamAt any moment, it can reach a higher altitude and dive 'from the top' to the target ship.

ATMACA has Global Positioning System, Inertial Measurement Unit, Barometric Altimeter, Radar Altimeter capabilities and locates its target with its active radar scanner with high accuracy. The hawk missile threatens its target beyond the line of sight with its 350 mm diameter, 1,4 meters wingspan, 220+ km range and 250 kg High Explosive Penetration Warhead capacity. Data link capability gives ATMACA target update, re-attack and mission termination features.

AKYA Heavy Torpedo
