Steel Dome (Çelik Kubbe)
Steel Dome (Çelik Kubbe) is Turkey's concept for integrating multiple air-defence tiers — from gun-based low altitude (e.g. KORKUT) and MANPADS (Sungur) through HISAR to long-range SIPER — under unified command and control.
For international readers: SSB (Presidency of Defence Industries) promotes this as a holistic answer to drones, cruise missiles, aircraft and ballistic threats, leveraging Turkey's recent investment in domestic missiles and radars.
