BITS Hyderabad Startup Beijan Develops Indigenous GPS-Independent Drone Navigation Technology for Indian Army

The BITS Hyderabad students developed a visual navigation system that reached the finals of the ISRO robotics competition. Their work subsequently attracted the attention of defence personnel, who recognised its potential application to military operations where satellite navigation signals may be unavailable, degraded or deliberately disrupted.

AVNL Showcases Upgraded T-72 Ajeya Tank with 1,000 HP Engine

The principal improvement in the upgraded T-72 Ajeya is its higher-output engine, which provides substantially greater power than the 780 HP diesel engine fitted to the existing configuration. The additional power is intended to improve the tank’s mobility and responsiveness, particularly during demanding battlefield manoeuvres and operations involving steep gradients, uneven surfaces and difficult terrain.

Martin-Baker Plans ₹380 Crore Ejection Seat Manufacturing Facility in Karnataka

An aircraft ejection seat is a sophisticated safety system incorporating multiple mechanical, structural and electronic components. Depending on its design, the system may include propulsion mechanisms, seat stabilisation equipment, parachute deployment arrangements and automatic sequencing technologies that enable the pilot to separate safely from an aircraft during an emergency.

The Battle Against Raktabīja: Battlefield Proliferation, Tactical Adaptation and Kālī’s Decisive Countermeasure

The battle arises during the continuing struggle between the Goddess and the armies of Śumbha and Niśumbha.

Their destruction represents a substantial defeat for the asura forces, but it does not end the wider conflict.

Indian Navy Receives Indigenous Anti-Submarine Warfare Vessel ‘Amini’ from GRSE with Over 80% Domestic Content

With more than 80 percent indigenous content, Amini reflects the growing technological and manufacturing capabilities of India’s domestic defence industry. The vessel incorporates advanced underwater detection systems, anti-submarine weapons and waterjet propulsion technology, bringing together several specialised capabilities required for operations in shallow coastal waters.

Indian Air Force Partners with IIT Madras to Develop Indigenous Secure Communication System for Aircraft

The Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) was signed between the Software Development Institute (SDI) of the Indian Air Force and IITM Pravartak Technologies Foundation. Air Vice Marshal Sarabjit Singh, Commandant of SDI, and Dr M. J. Shankar Raman, Chief Executive Officer of IITM Pravartak Technologies Foundation, signed the agreement in the presence of Professor V. Kamakoti, Director of IIT Madras.

Rekise Marine Advances Indigenous MPAUV and Jalkapi Autonomous Submarine Programmes with Sea Trials in Goa

The ongoing trials off Goa are focused on evaluating Rekise Marine’s common autonomy technology under operational maritime conditions. The company’s software architecture is intended to support multiple classes of autonomous vessels, allowing the same underlying navigation, control and mission-management technologies to be adapted for different surface and underwater platforms.

Indian Startup insideFPV Reports Successful Anti-Jamming Trials of Indigenous Advik Drone at 18,000 Feet in Ladakh

According to the company, its engineers designed the system to minimise additional weight and electrical power consumption while maintaining compatibility with the aircraft’s onboard cameras and flight-control electronics. This approach is particularly relevant to small tactical drones, where additional equipment can affect flight endurance, payload capacity and manoeuvrability.
