At IDEF 2015, the International Defence Industry Fair currently held
in Istanbul, Turkey, Roketsan is showcasing its AntiSubmarine Warfare
(ASW) Rocket and Launching System for surface vessels. It is one of
the most modern ASW systems with automatic engagement capability, detonation
depth control due to time fuze and insensitive munition characteristics. |

The
Roketsan ASW Weapon System is a system which was developed to be used
against subsurface targets from surface platforms, which can be used
at a range between 500 - 2000 m and a depth 15 - 300 m, which can function
as integrated to the weapon management system and the sonar of the surface
platform and which has the capability of automatic target engagement.
It can be fired at targets in single or salvo modes and detonation at
the desired depth can be maintained with the adjustable time fuze. ROKETSAN
DSH rocket, having a High Explosive warhead and a Rocket Motor, possess
the insensitive munitions property (IM) which is a property much desired
in modern munitions.
The ASW Launching System has stabilization, automatic and manual target
engagement capabilities. Fire Control System calculates the required
firing principles using navigation and target information provided by
the surface platform.
