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.

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.
