PROJECT NAME: GÖKTUĞ C4I – National Integrated Air and Missile Defense Command Control System
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: GÖKTUĞ C4I is an AI-supported, multi-layered integrated air and missile defense command control system developed to protect the airspace of the Republic of Turkey 7/24 without interruption. Designed entirely with domestic and national capabilities, without external dependency, this system analyzes the best features of world-leading defense systems (US AEGIS, Israeli Iron Dome) and adapts them to Turkey’s unique needs.
The system provides proactive defense capability against a wide threat spectrum from hypersonic threats to ballistic missiles, from stealth aircraft to kamikaze drones. Machine learning algorithms classify threats within seconds and automatically determine the optimal intervention scenario. It provides full protection against external intelligence risks with national encryption protocols and independent communication infrastructure.
