Evidence & current status
Brochures state ±10% tolerances. 100L/300 has its own 300 m rating and optional-battery duration; no completed military fleet acceptance is inferred.
DERİNGÖZ is ASELSAN's family of autonomous underwater survey vehicles. The 100M/600 and smaller 100L/300 are distinct published configurations for reconnaissance, inspection and environmental observation. Their mission equipment can include cameras, sonar and navigation aids, selected according to the task rather than assumed to be simultaneously installed in every delivered system.
Current manufacturer brochures establish the key differences. The medium vehicle is rated to 600 metres and the smaller vehicle to 300 metres. Both quote a nominal eight-hour duration, with longer operation requiring additional battery provision. The medium brochure specifically describes two extra batteries for its 24-hour figure. Maximum speed and survey speed are listed separately and should remain so in comparisons.
ASELSAN's 2025 annual report records system-level sea trials for 100M/600 and the introduction of 100L/300 at IDEF 2025. These establish physical programme progress, but the reviewed primary evidence does not provide a completed military fleet handover with named vehicle configurations. The family's development classification therefore reflects the strongest directly supported milestone, while leaving contract and acceptance details open.
