SOM (Stand-off Mühimmat Seyir Füzesi) is a high-precision cruise missile that can be launched from the air . It was developed under the direction of the Science and Technology Research Council of Turkey ( TÜBITAK ); It was first presented during the celebrations for the 100th anniversary of the Turkish Air Force on June 4, 2011 at the Çiğli Air Force Base in Izmir . Tests were carried out on August 9, 2011 with an F-4E Phantom .
Developed since 2006 for the F-4E 2020 and F-16 Block 40 combat aircraft , the SOM cruise missile is the first domestic, unmanned military guided missile for the destruction of both stationary and moving targets from a stand-off distance of over 250 Kilometers. Certification processes are in progress so that SOM can also be used by the F-35 .
The turbofan engines are the result of a collaboration between the Turkish arms company Kale Aero (formerly Kale Havacilik) and US arms companies.
In addition to Turkey, the armed forces of Azerbaijan use the cruise missile.
