No, we are not among those NATO members. Yet. On the other hand, Israel, which is not a member of NATO, can produce superior E/O Systems.
I am not talking about İsrael .... I am talking about China and Russia
btw why Turkey changed İsraeli E/O System on HERON UAVs with Aselsan ASELFLIR-300 ?
maybe İsrael sold Turkey low quality export variant or what ?
T-129 Attack Helicopters also use Aselsan ASELFLIR-300
And maybe now CATS not get the same resolution as Canadian WESCAM quality at the infrared point
but Aselsan develops DASS which is superior to CATS
Aselsan CATS completely provides the values that can perform the desired task
and Aselsan CATS has superior range ( 30 km ) to Canadian WESCAM
Turkish CATS is able to do this at a much greater distance than Canadian WESCAM in terms of laser marking and laser range finder
and only The US , France and Turkey have developed nex gen targeting Pod in NATO
Even ASELSAN Engineers said that ASELPOD is superior to İsraeli LITENING Targeting Pod
Pakistan prefered superior Turkish ASELPOD targeting Pod to use it on JF-17 Fighter Jets , instead of low quality Chinese targeting Pod
as You know , ASELSAN is one of a few Defense Companies in the World that uses the advanced technologies for E/O Systems
