Roketsan Cirit

Cirit is a 70 mm (2.75 in) guided missile system fitted with a semi-active laser homing seeker.

There are four small stabilising surfaces at the very rear of the missile in front of the exhaust nozzle that ensures stable flight.

This has seen the company work on several new components for the rocket including its semi-active laser seeker, actuation and control systems, bearings, computer hardware and software.

Roketsan is also developing a new series of digital launchers, with seven and 19 tubes, to take advantage of the Cirit's MIL-STD-1760 databus capabilities.

[8] 12 May 2011, Roketsan signed an agreement with Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) for the integration of its Cirit Smart Launcher System on the T-129 attack helicopter.
