What MRS does

MRS (Motion Robotics Systems), legally MRS Havacılık Uzay Sanayi Simülasyon Makine AŞ, is a Turkish privately held company founded in 2011 and headquartered at Balıkesir University's Çağış Campus. The company designs and manufactures high-fidelity motion platforms and simulators built on proprietary Stewart platform architecture with up to 8 degrees of freedom and 360-degree unlimited rotation, complemented by in-house motion control software and XR/VR integration. Its product portfolio spans the HURMOTION flight simulator family (F-16 and F-4 variants), the NEODRIVE racing line, the SPACE GEM space simulator, modular 2- to 4-axis industrial motion platforms, and complementary solutions including the VISIONSPHERE projection system, SIMVISION city experience simulator, and SIMUTRUCK mobile cinema platform.

MRS sells primarily through direct enterprise and government sales channels, targeting defense and military buyers (Turkish Air Force Command, Presidency of Defence Industries, Gendarmerie Aviation), educational institutions (notably Balıkesir University through a formal TTO partnership), and commercial entertainment operators. Pricing is custom-quoted with multi-year contracts and an ROI calculator on the website supporting consultative selling. Revenue is generated through hardware sales bundled with proprietary software, after-sales services (training, maintenance, remote monitoring), and custom R&D projects, with international exports to Taiwan, Qatar, Libya, Greece, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. The November 2024 launch of Turkey's first 360-degree motion-capable Simulation Center with Balıkesir University and participation in IDEF 2025 underscore a strategic emphasis on defense vertical penetration under the National Technology Initiative.

Revenue model

1. Hardware Sales - Motion Platforms and Simulators: MRS generates primary revenue from the sale of physical motion platforms and flight/racing/space simulators. Products range from compact 2-DOF platforms to advanced 8-DOF hybrid aircraft simulators. Sales are direct to enterprise and government buyers with custom configuration options and long sales cycles. Pricing is quote-based.
2. Motion Control Software Licensing: MRS bundles proprietary motion control software with its hardware platforms. The software supports a wide range of simulation and gaming software including Microsoft Flight Simulator, DCS World, Assetto Corsa, and others. This software is considered a key differentiator enabling the company's simulators to function across multiple simulation environments.
3. After-Sales Services, Maintenance and Support: MRS provides comprehensive post-sale services including user training, technical support and consulting, maintenance and repair services, and remote monitoring and diagnostic services. These services generate recurring service revenue and deepen customer relationships for ongoing support contracts.
4. Custom Project Development and R&D: MRS undertakes custom engineering projects spanning defense, entertainment, and R&D applications. Historical projects include ship simulators for the defense industry, cinema systems, VR promotion simulators, and specialized motion platforms. Export revenue is generated through international project delivery.
