  • •ASELSAN demonstrated the GÖKALP system's drone interception capabilities.
  • •The system autonomously detects and neutralizes hostile drones using advanced radar and electro-optical technologies.
  • •The GÖKALP E1 interceptor successfully destroyed a target drone during the demonstration.

ASELSAN showcased the GÖKALP UAV Interception System's capabilities to detect and neutralize hostile drones during a demonstration at the Oğulbey Technology Base in Ankara on October 10, 2026. The system employs radar and electro-optical technologies to autonomously eliminate threats using the GÖKALP E1 interceptor drone. In the demonstration, the AURA radar identified a target drone, transmitting real-time data to the GÖKALP E1, which successfully intercepted and destroyed the target using a hit-to-kill method. This system is part of ASELSAN's DRONEDEF counter-drone layer within Türkiye’s STEELDOME air defense architecture, designed for mobile and cost-effective defense against UAV threats. The demonstration confirmed the integrated operational capabilities of the system under realistic conditions.
