The GÖKSUR is a surface-to-air missile-based CIWS developed by the Turkish defense companies Aselsan and TÜBİTAK SAGE. It is designed to provide close-in defense for naval platforms against a wide range of aerial threats, including anti-ship missiles, cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), fighter jets, and helicopters. The system is a critical part of Steel Dome, Turkey's multi-layered air defense system. It is one of the two Turkish missile based CIWS along with the Levent.
