Güdümlü

Güdümlü is an adjective in Turkish meaning "guided" or "controlled," used for objects or processes that operate under some form of guidance or constraint. The term derives from the verb güdmek ("to guide, steer") and the suffix -ümlü, which forms adjectives indicating that something possesses or is characterized by a guiding mechanism.

In technical and military contexts, güdümlü is commonly attached to nouns such as füze, roket, sistem, or araç to denote that the object follows a prescribed path or protocol under a guidance system. Examples include güdümlü füze (guided missile), güdümlü roket (guided rocket) and güdümlü sistem (guided system). Guidance can rely on various technologies, such as GPS, inertial navigation, laser guidance, or remote control, depending on the application.

Beyond machinery, güdümlü can describe processes or plans managed under oversight or rules, for instance güdümlü bir süreç or güdümlü program, though in everyday language more common terms may be used (for example, rehberli or yönlendirilmiş) depending on the context. The word conveys the notion of active direction and control rather than mere supervision.
