TÜBİTAK SAGE (Defence Industries Research and Development Institute) was founded in 1972 with the vision of achieving TÜRKİYE’s full independence in defense technologies and becoming a globally influential actor. Its mission is to provide the Turkish Armed Forces and the defense industry with competitive, high value-added, and nationally developed products and services through R&D. TÜBİTAK SAGE carries out research to expand knowledge, develops hardware and software, and offers consultancy, testing, and measurement services. It also builds infrastructure to support high-quality defense products and services. TÜBİTAK SAGE operates from three campuses in Ankara.
Developed by TÜBİTAK SAGE, KUZGUN - Modular Guided Munition Family includes three variants: Free-floating (SS), with an integrated Solid Propellant rocket engine (SF) and with an integrated Turbojet engine (TJ). It features a dual-mode, jam-resistant datalink, jam-resistant GPS, adjustable detonation height, and various warhead options to meet modern operational needs. Suitable for swarm operations, KUZGUN offers high maneuverability, precision strike capability, and cost-effectiveness, enabling effective engagement of both fixed and moving targets.
Developed by TÜBİTAK SAGE, GÖKDOĞAN and BOZDOĞAN Air-to-Air Missiles are TÜRKİYE’s first indigenous air-to-air missile systems. The Beyond Visual Range (BVR) Air-to-Air Missile GÖKDOĞAN is equipped with a solid-fuel rocket motor, has a range of over 65 km, and features an active radar seeker. The Within Visual Range (WVR) Air-to-Air Missile BOZDOĞAN is also powered by a solid-fuel rocket motor, offers a range of over 25 km, and is equipped with an infrared seeker. Both missile systems feature high maneuverability and advanced counter-countermeasure systems, and they are equipped with blast-fragmentation warheads, providing high effectiveness against aerial targets.
The GÖKSUR Close Air Defense System, developed in cooperation with TÜBİTAK SAGE and ASELSAN, will provide protection for our National Ships against challenging air targets, especially anti-ship missiles flying close to the surface. The main features of the GÖKSUR Missile, which has the high hitting accuracy capability of the GÖKSUR System: 360-degree Threat Destruction Capability Infrared IIR Seeker Head with Next Generation Imager Multiple Target Interception Capability Angled or Vertical Throw Capability Folding Flap Particle Impact Warhead Intermediate Stage Guidance with Data Link
Within the scope of the contract signed between the Presidency of Defence Industries and the ASELSAN-ROKETSAN-TÜBİTAK SAGE Partnership, the aim is to develop and produce, using primarily national capabilities and domestic resources, an effective air defense system capable of engaging long-range and high-altitude air-breathing targets (such as combat aircraft, cruise missiles, UAVs, and helicopters). The SİPER system configuration includes the Squadron Control Center, Search Radar, Fire Control Center, Fire Control Radar, Missile Launch System, Full-Firing Missile, Missile Transport and Loading System, Communication Vehicles (Communication Station Vehicle, Communication Relay Vehicle), and Support Equipment.
