Electro-optical and infrared systems form a critical part of modern surveillance and remote-sensing platforms. They combine optical sensors, infrared detectors, stabilisation systems, image-processing electronics and software to identify and track objects across different lighting and environmental conditions.
The company has already invested more than $200 million in India and operates manufacturing facilities in the country, including a Chennai-based facility that produces Nothing smartphones.
A mobile launch configuration can give operators greater flexibility in choosing launch locations and reduce dependence on prepared infrastructure. It can also allow a UAV system to be moved, deployed and recovered from different positions according to operational requirements.
The additional boats would build upon the experience gained from the existing Kalvari-class submarine programme, which involved technology cooperation with France and domestic construction at MDL.
The company’s technology portfolio spans electromechanical actuators, electrohydraulic systems, sensors, switches, valves, servo drives, motion-control hardware and embedded control electronics. These systems form the mechanical and electronic interface between a platform’s command architecture and the physical movement required to execute that command.
Tata Projects will be responsible for civil and structural works, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, high-air-pressure systems, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, high-temperature exhaust systems, cooling-water systems and associated site infrastructure.
The TRAJAN is a French-designed artillery system developed by Nexter, now part of KNDS France, with a substantial Indian manufacturing role through Larsen & Toubro. Armenia’s induction of the system adds another modern 155 mm platform to an artillery inventory that already includes Indian-origin systems such as ATAGS and MArG 155.
The KFT Ground Control Station brings multiple drone-control functions together within one operating environment. It supports mission planning, live drone location, route tracking, flight status, telemetry and live camera feeds.
