Cyient DLM, Hindustan Shipyard join hands to explore defence electronics opportunities
The MoU provides a framework for both organisations to examine potential cooperation in indigenisation, electronics manufacturing, embedded systems, power electronics, testing and lifecycle support for maritime and defence platforms.
The proposed areas of collaboration also include autonomous and unmanned maritime platforms, obsolescence management, test and support systems and artificial intelligence-enabled maintenance solutions, Hyderabad based Cyient said in a release on Sunday.
The partnership seeks to combine HSL’s expertise in shipbuilding, ship repair and platform integration with Cyient DLM’s capabilities in mission-critical electronics, precision manufacturing and embedded systems to strengthen indigenous technology development in line with the Centre’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative.
Cyient DLM Managing Director and CEO Rajendra Velagapudi said the collaboration would help explore opportunities to strengthen India’s indigenous technology and manufacturing capabilities in the maritime and defence sectors.
HSL Chairman and Managing Director R Adm C Raghuram (Retd) said the MoU would enable the two organisations to identify areas where their respective capabilities could complement each other and contribute to greater self-reliance in the maritime and defence ecosystem.
