Zen Technologies gets patent from UK for containerised tubular shooting range

Zen Technologies Limited has been granted a patent by UK patent office for containerised tubular shooting range (CTSR). The valuable patent will give the company an exclusive right to access in many foreign markets.

CTSR is a range-in-a-container solution, where security forces can train their personnel rapidly and efficiently than conventional ranges. The system eliminates the need for huge swathes of land and the threat of environmental pollution. The solution also frees up very valuable land for the purpose of alternative use.

This product is expected to have a significant demand overseas where the sensitivity pertaining to ranges is very high. In India, it is being used at Indira Gandhi International Airport (New Delhi) along with many other locations. The system has also been exported.

With a rapid increase in urbanisation, the shooting ranges in the suburban areas have been swallowed by the growing urban landscape. In addition, the supersensitivity pertaining to environmental pollution caused by a shooting range has ensured that ranges are slowly becoming endangered.

Zen Technologies is a leading defense training solutions provider and its main customers are defence services, state police forces, paramilitary forces, and the navy of a South-East Asian country.

On Monday, during the early morning trading session, the stock of Zen Technologies jumped 6.1 per cent to Rs 95 from its previous close of Rs 89.55 on BSE.
