Make in India

SATEEK has been designed to transform legacy fire-control architecture into a more modern digital system capable of performing ballistic computations rapidly while interfacing with the tank’s sensors and fire-control equipment. DIASPRO says the system uses an advanced processing architecture intended to improve firing accuracy, particularly while the tank is moving.

Nabhastra’s emergence as the lowest bidder (L1) places the Indian defence technology company in a strong position in the procurement process. The reported GeM procurement concerns a quantity of 30 long-range VTOL kamikaze drones, intended to provide an indigenous precision-strike capability.

With more than 80 percent indigenous content, Mangrol reflects the increasing participation of Indian industry in the development and construction of specialised naval platforms. The vessel has been designed primarily for operations in India’s coastal waters, where shallow-water environments present unique challenges for detecting and tracking underwater threats.

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited has reportedly moved an indigenous Head-Mounted Display Generator into endurance testing, marking an important step towards qualification of a domestically developed cockpit avionics subsystem. The programme could strengthen India’s ability to develop advanced helmet-mounted display technology for present and future combat aircraft while reducing dependence on imported avionics.

Field artillery formations depend on a continuous supply of shells, propellant charges, fuzes, fuel and other stores. In modern combat, these logistics movements are increasingly vulnerable to reconnaissance drones, loitering munitions and counter-battery fire. A UGV could help carry ammunition and equipment through the final and most dangerous part of the supply route without placing soldiers inside a vehicle.

Recent reports indicate that the proposal is expected to come before the CCS following completion of several layers of technical, commercial and financial scrutiny. However, as of August 21, 2026, the government has not publicly announced final CCS approval for the acquisition. The programme should therefore be described as moving toward final approval rather than as an already sanctioned contract.
