For TakeMe2Space, the agreement is significant because the company is attempting something different from a conventional Earth-observation constellation. Its satellites are being designed as computing nodes in orbit, carrying processors capable of analysing imagery and running artificial-intelligence workloads before data is transmitted to the ground.
For launch vehicles and spacecraft, reducing structural weight without compromising strength can directly improve payload capability and mission efficiency. Carbon-fibre composites are therefore increasingly used in fairings, structural panels, pressure-system components, satellite structures and other aerospace hardware.
An inspection robot can carry cameras and sensors into a hazardous area and send information back to an operator. A mobile manipulator can potentially go further by operating equipment, moving objects or performing simple intervention tasks without sending a worker into the same environment.
One of the clearest examples is GAGAN — GPS Aided GEO Augmented Navigation, India’s indigenous Satellite-Based Augmentation System developed jointly by the Indian Space Research Organisation and the Airports Authority of India.
The company formally opened the new facility on September 10, 2026, at the MSME Technology Centre in the KIADB Aerospace Park in Bengaluru North.
Named the BIGGA Factory — short for Big Global Ambition — the plant will be located at the SIPCOT Industrial Park in Shoolagiri, near Hosur, one of southern India’s largest automotive manufacturing clusters.
IndoWings is also pursuing a low-observable airframe, with the design philosophy placing emphasis on reduced signature, aerodynamic efficiency, speed and endurance. The company has not disclosed the engine selected for the aircraft, its intended maximum speed, range, service ceiling or radar-cross-section targets.
DRDO says the suite was jointly developed by CASDIC in Bengaluru and the Defence Electronics Research Laboratory (DLRL) in Hyderabad. It combines an indigenous Radar Warning Receiver with the pod-mounted ASPJ.
The board of the state-owned shipbuilder approved the proposal on September 9, 2026. Under the planned transaction, Cochin Shipyard will transfer the International Ship Repair Facility, or ISRF, to the new joint venture as a going concern for not less than ₹1,800 crore.
The first batch of precision-machined aerospace components has already been produced at Sri City and shipped to Sigma’s UK operations for final verification before delivery to the customer. The company disclosed the development to the BSE and National Stock Exchange on September 10.
