Dynamatic Technologies Limited, an Indian supplier of engineering products to global aviation majors including Boeing, Airbus, Bell etc, and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur will jointly develop innovative unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for wide range of applications by the Indian defence forces.
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was recently signed between the two organisations. Dynamatic Technologies is involved in R&D of latest technologies in the fields of aerospace, agriculture, hydraulics and homeland security.
IIT Kanpur has been conducting cutting edge research in various domains related to defense and homeland security, and have already developed several technologies and filed multiple patents in areas related to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV).
The Institute was looking for an industry partner with manufacturing capabilities for commercial production under the flagship ‘Atmanirbharta Bharat’ vision. As such, the partner organisations have identified mutual interest to leverage respective capabilities and undertake design, development, manufacturing of wide range of UAVs and other related technologies.
According to the Institute, the jointly developed products would substitute the currently imported UAVs with superior indigenous technology that would enable self-reliance at a reduced cost.
IIT Kanpur director Prof Abhay Karandikar termed the collaboration as an important development to “support the ongoing R&D activities at IIT Kanpur in the domain of UAVs and enable rapid commercialisation of existing solutions for greater good of users ranging from police, para-military and defence forces.”
He said the aerospace department of IIT Kanpur was one of the best in the country and has been doing some exciting work in this domain which would now come to fruition through this partnership.
“This partnership is unique as it brings academia and industry together to develop new products specific to customer requirement. This collaboration will fast track concept to development using the state-of-the-art facilities and resources available across IIT Kanpur and Dynamatic,” Dr. Udayant Malhoutra , MD & CEO , Dynamatic Technologies noted.
Dynamatic Technologies manufactures highly engineered products and solutions. It has manufacturing facilities in India, the UK, Germany and USA, and is in the global supply chain of leading OEMs in these sectors. It has three design laboratories in India and Europe and is a leading Private R&D organisation with numerous inventions and patents to its credit.
