Developed by a team of 25 in a short span of about one year and expected to stand out in the field with its superior features compared to its rivals, the GAM Family can be equipped with various seekers, including Laser Seeker (LAB), Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR), “low light” Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR), and Daylight Camera (TV). Currently undergoing testing, the GAM Family can be used against both stationary and moving land and surface targets and consists of short-range GAM-A, medium-range GAM-B, long-range GAM-D, and the GAM-X (Extra) model, which has a larger caliber, and a heavier warhead designed for armored targets. While actual GAM-A, GAM-B, and GAM-D tactical munitions—without energetic materials and safety-related electronic boards—were displayed at the company booth, the GAM-X model, still under development, is planned to be exhibited as a verified product at IDEF ‘25. We conducted a comprehensive interview with ASTECH General Manager & CEO Mehmet OCAKLI about the modular GAM Family.
