Mehmet Doğan, General Manager of Pharus Tech Engineering and Technology Inc., stated that they developed the emergency location transmitter, which provides emergency help via satellite communication by transmitting identity and location information from the ship in case of an accident, with local and national resources, and that the device will be offered for sale domestically and abroad after the completion of the certification process.
Doğan gave information to the AA reporter about the device they exhibited at the SAHA 2026 International Defense, Aerospace Industry Fair held at the Istanbul Expo Center, where Anadolu Agency (AA) is the Global Communication Partner. Stating that they are proud to produce the device that Turkey has been importing for years with domestic and national resources, Mehmet Doğan said: “EPIRB is a high-tech device that transmits identity and location information from the ship in case of an accident and ensures emergency help arrives via satellite communication…
Turkey was importing the emergency location transmitter and could only supply it for a long time. “We nationalized a product that is technically superior to foreigners and received a patent for it.” Pharus Tech Engineering and Technology Inc. General Manager Doğan stated that foreign brands use a device that needs to be changed every two years to release these transmitters in water and that they eliminated this situation with their patented solutions and increased the renewal and maintenance processes from two to 10 years.
Stating that the device designed for marine vessels is in the certification phase, Doğan said, “Following this, it will be able to be sold to any marine vessel both abroad and in Turkey. The prototype of the emergency position transmitter we made for aircraft has been completed and is entering the test certification process. “It will also be used in aircraft as a completely finished and producted product before the end of 2026.” he said.
