Laser-guided mini-missile METE fired from Türkiye’s Gök Alp Drone

Laser-guided mini-missile METE, whose test shots continue, is ready for mass production. “METE, the smallest member of our family, is ready for mass production!” statements were included. The Laser Guided Mini Missile System METE, developed by Roketsan and can be launched using new generation 40 millimeter grenade launchers, makes a difference by having an effect beyond the maximum range of the existing conventional grenade launcher ammunition. METE, which can be fired by a single personnel with a grenade launcher, is designed to be integrated into the turrets of mini Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), Unmanned Land Vehicles (UAV), Unmanned Sea Vehicles and (IDA) land vehicles with its light weight and small size. Developed in accordance with the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle concept, the ammunition was integrated into the Gök Alp Drone system developed by PAVO Group and successfully completed the test firings. Making a statement about the test shot of METE, PAVO Group Chairman of the Board Dr. Alper Ozbilen ; “The Mete of our Roketsan met in the skies with our Gök Alp drone that we designed and produced as PAVO Group. Let the ancient weapon of the Turk be proudly handed down from generation to generation, like a bow and arrow, in the service of his country… May the Turkish youth continue the race to add value to their country forever…” Gök Alp, which is the first platform on which METE, Roketsan’s smallest guided ammunition, is used, stands out with both its useful load capacity and its ability to remain unaffected by firing. In the video sharing made from Roketsan’s official Twitter account, it is seen that METE was fired from the Gök Alp Drone system and Gök Alp remained stable during the firing. The PAVO Group, which eliminates the shaking and loss of altitude problems experienced by small-scale drone systems when using such ammunition, aims to open up to the foreign market with the Gök Alp Drone system. Gök Alp can work in harsh weather and field conditions with a payload capacity of 13 kg and a duty time of 35 minutes. At the same time, Gök Alp was designed not to be affected by electronic warfare conditions with the technologies it contains.
