The Gökkubbe comes as air threats continue to advance with rapid technological progress, posing challenges for traditional GBAD systems. Asymmetric enemy groups are now able to access these threats more easily, prompting the need for a flexible and comprehensive defense strategy to protect critical infrastructures.

The system is designed to address the multifaceted challenges of modern air warfare with its capabilities and adaptable modular architecture. By integrating sensors and effectors, the system aims to establish a self-multi-layered defense, capable of countering both symmetric and asymmetric threats.

With a focus on protecting high-value stationary assets like military bases and critical civil infrastructures from various air threats, including rockets, artillery, and mortar, the system aims to remain effective against emerging challenges, ensuring enduring air defense capabilities.
