KAYI: Miniature and versatile munitions
The KAYI family of guided munitions was developed entirely with domestic and national subcomponents, reaffirming Turkey’s technological independence in the defense sector. KAYI munitions are designed to adapt to different operational concepts and can be equipped with antipersonnel, armor-piercing/penetrating, or thermobaric warheads.
Among the tested variants:
KAYI-30: weighs 30 kg, is 100 cm long, and has a range of up to 25 km.
KAYI-50: weighs 50 kg, is 130 cm long, and also has a range of up to 25 km.
Both munitions feature a circular error probability (CEP) of less than 3 meters, ensuring high precision in combat.
BOZOK: Laser precision
Developed by the Defense Industry Research and Development Institute (TÜBİTAK SAGE), the BOZOK munition is laser-guided and specifically designed for unmanned aerial vehicles. Its lightweight and compact design allows UAVs to carry a greater payload, enhancing operational flexibility.
The BOZOK was created to maximize efficiency in asymmetric combat scenarios, enabling precise strikes without risking friendly forces.
