Why It Matters
BASS is a modular training system that simulates the use of real ammunition, developed by the Gendarmerie and Coast Guard Academy.
Aviation, Space and Technology Festival (TEKNOFEST), of which Anadolu Agency (AA) is the "Global Communication Partner" and carried out by the Ministry of Industry and Technology and the T3 Foundation, welcomes its visitors at Şanlıurfa GAP Airport.
Domestic and national technologies available for the use of security forces are also exhibited at the festival.
BASS, developed by the Gendarmerie and Coast Guard Academy, is among the systems introduced at the festival.
The system, which has a portable and modular structure, allows security personnel to improve their shooting skills without using real ammunition.
Working with a laser pointer integrated into real duty weapons, BASS can be ready for use in about a minute. With the system where different targets can be added according to training needs, training can be carried out without the need for a shooting area.
The system, which reduces the costs and accident risks associated with the use of live ammunition, allows personnel to repeat multiple shots.
Thanks to BASS, which is used especially before shooting training with real ammunition, officer-petty officer candidates can improve their marksmanship skills by shooting thousands of times.
Following the simulation training, officer-petty officer candidates participate in shooting training using real ammunition in the field. Thus, the system is used for preparation before real-fire training rather than replacing it.
Shows errors instantly
One of the prominent features of BASS is the ability to analyze the shots fired instantly.
In addition to score targets, targets for hostage, tactical mission and shooter error detection can be used in the system. The system, which provides shot analysis on shots, allows the shooter to see his individual mistakes and correct his deficiencies.
Thanks to this feature, instructors can monitor the shooter's performance in real time and work on the areas needed.
The system, which can be used in different places thanks to its portable and modular design, can be installed in approximately one minute. Not needing a shooting area allows training opportunities to be moved to different locations, while the use of laser technology eliminates ammunition consumption.
It is also used in friendly and sister countries
BASS, which is used in the Gendarmerie and Coast Guard Academy and gendarmerie units, is also preferred in the training of security units of friendly and brother countries as well as Türkiye.
It is stated that the system is used in the training of security personnel in various countries, especially Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.
