The Atmaca, meaning Accipiter or sparrowhawk, is a Turkish all-weather, long-range, precision-strike anti-ship cruise missile developed by the missile maker Roketsan. It can be launched from surface ships and submarines, and a land-based version called Kara Atmaca is also in development. Turkey's defense procurement office signed the design contract in 2009, the first land-based firing took place in March 2017 and a serial production contract followed in October 2018. The missile navigates by GPS, inertial guidance and altimeters, then homes in with an active radar seeker, and a data link allows retargeting and re-attack. Its range is more than 220 kilometres, and it flies as an ultra sea-skimmer on approach. It entered service with the Turkish Navy to replace the Harpoon missiles in its inventory, and Indonesia and Malaysia have been named as export customers.
