Developed by ROKETSAN, the Submarine Defense Warfare (DSH) Rocket and Launcher System is an effective weapon system for underwater targets. Operational within a range of 500-2000 meters and depths of 15-300 meters, it features automatic and manual launcher guidance and is equipped with high-explosive warheads. It is actively used on the Turkish Navy's Tuzla Class patrol boats.

The DSH Rocket and Launcher System by ROKETSAN holds a significant position in submarine defense. Notably, it offers high efficiency and cost-effectiveness against underwater targets.
