Bharat Electronics Ltd enters into technical collaboration with National Aerospace Laboratories for the development of Electronic Target System.
Defence PSU Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL), declared that it has signed a Technical Collaboration Agreement (TCA) with National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL). This agreement has been signed under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) for the design and engineering, production and commercialisation of Electronic Target System (ETS).
In a statement BEL stated that designed by CSIR-NAL, ETS is a technically superior and cost-effective solution for police, paramilitary and defence personnel looking at acquiring sharp shooting skills in small firearms as well as honing their proficiency in tactical field firing. With this technology, BEL is targeting a market of about 1,500 lanes.
What is an ETS?
ETS is a modern training aid meant for enhancing marksmanship of Defence and Paramilitary forces during live firing exercises on the field. The agreement heralds a new beginning in the ties between BEL and CSIR labs for developing products targeting niche market segments.
Presently, after firing a shot, a shooter is unable to instantly gauge if he has hit or missed the target and by what margin and therefore needs to move near the target to examine the results. The new technology ETS will help shooters instantly providing the hit location through a display, positioned beside him.
