ATMACA (Accipiter) is an all weather, long range, precision strike, anti-ship cruise missile, developed by Turkish missile manufacturer ROKETSAN.[1][2] The Atmaca will enter service with the Turkish Navy to gradually replace the country's existing inventory of Harpoon missiles.

Development

The program was initiated in 2009 when Turkey's Undersecretary For Defense Industries (SSM) signed a contract with Roketsan for designing a surface-to-surface cruise missile for the requirements of the Turkish Naval Forces. The prime contractor, Roketsan, started the design studies in September 2012, after receiving the results of its previous research and development contract with Turkey's Undersecretary For Defense Industries under the coordination of Navy Research Center Command (ARMERKOM). The missile is planned to be developed for multiplatforms, capable of launching not only from warships but also from submarines, aircraft, coastal batteries, including land-attack operations.Шаблон:Citation needed

After completing various tests, first land-based firing of the Atmaca took place in March 2017. The serial production contract for Atmaca was signed between Roketsan and the Presidency of Defense Industry on 29 October 2018. The missile will be deployed to Turkish Navy's Шаблон:Sclass2s, Istanbul-class frigates, G-class frigates and planned TF-2000-class destroyers.[3][4][5]

Timeline

  • On 3 November 2019, the Turkish Naval Forces successfully conducted its first ship-launched firing from the Ada-class corvette Шаблон:Ship in the Black sea[6]
  • On 1 July 2020 the Atmaca missile successfully hit its target from a >200 km range[7]
  • On February 3, 2021, the Atmaca anti-ship missile successfully hit the target in the test fire with the Шаблон:Ship corvette using a "live warhead" in Sinop.[8]
  • In June 2021 the Atmaca missile successfully hit the ex-TCG Işın (A-589) ship under the certification test. Marking the start of its serial production.[9][10]
  • In June 2021, the Atmaca completed 20 successful test firing and expected to be certified this year for Ada-class corvette.[11]
  • In August 2023, Turkey announced that 11 ships would be equipped.[12]

Design

The missile makes use of its global positioning system (GPS), inertial navigation system, barometric altimeter and radar altimeter to navigate towards its target, while its active radar seeker pinpoints the target with high precision. With a range of more than Шаблон:Convert, this guided missile poses a major threat for targets situated beyond the line of sight due to its high explosive fragmentation warhead. Its modern data-link provides ATMACA with the ability to 3D mission planning, update targets, reattack and terminate the mission.[1] Missile is ultra sea-skimming as it approaches the target.[1]
