Zitat:Turkish Company Sells Laser Tech. to US ArmyEine ungewohnte art von Technologie Transfer
For the past three years, Turkey has been selling a training system to the US and Israelı armed forces that uses lasers for shooting opportunities instead of real bullets.
The New Generation Shooting Systems-Mini-RETS, provide real shooting opportunities at targets that are sensitive to lasers with laser signals installed on the real gun's barrel. Therefore, it reduces cost at soldier training camps. The systems have not been used in Turkey because they are not advantageous financially to the Turkish Armed Forces.
Hursel Kendir, the Chairman of Electronic Design Industry and Trade AC (ETA), the company that produced the system, said yesterday that they have targeted to the Turkish Armed forces, and have even proposed it to the Defense Industry Undersecretariat.
Kendir said his system is the "the first in the world". So far, Mini-RETS, which is the entire focus of Kendir's company, earned him $2 million in exports to America and Israel.
