Zen Technologies Advances 400+ km HyperStrike Munition; 180,000-Unit Annual Production Capacity Outlined

Zen Technologies is scaling infrastructure for its indigenous HyperStrike precision weapon system following ongoing internal qualification trials.

eepy..

The future of defence depends on indigenous technologies built for evolving mission requirements.

The Tandem Wing Loitering Munition UAV represents a step towards strengthening India’s indigenous aerospace capabilities, with a focus on mission-oriented design and operational reliance means building the technological expertise and capabilities India needs for the future.

Developed by TISA Aerospace, a subsidiary of Zen Technologies

The Indian Navy has a requirement for RDE-based supersonic cruise missiles and is inviting Indian companies to undertake development activities to meet this requirement.

A torpedo is more than an underwater missile. Beautifully explained by @Spacewalker75

#GSLVF18 #NVS03 #ISRO #NavIC

#WATCH | GSLV -F18 rocket has successfully injected the NVS-03 satellite in orbit. GSLV-F18/NVS-03 Mission accomplished.

The GSLV-F18 vehicle placed NVS-03 satellite into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit. NVS-03 is the third satellite in next generation navigation satellite oviding continuity of navigation services for IRNSS series. The satellite carries Indigenous Atomic clock, along with the procured Atomic clocks. It also includes L1 signal in addition to existing L5/S signals with Coverage over India land mass and a region extending 1500 km around Indian geopolitical boundary.

Folks i will be livestreaming this launch, joined by @alpha_defense , tommorow 11pm, see you there :)

Zenith Unmanned Systems (@ZenithIndiaTech ) and @vectortechnics have signed an MoU to make Vector the official propulsion system partner for Zenith's UAV platforms.

Zenith's Vijay Z-1 drone flew 78 min at 14,000 ft altitude using Vector Technics propulsion.

Most systems are built to work. Few are built to be trusted mid-mission, with no room for error.

That’s the standard this build is held to.

@AgamRobotics ' work in 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 meets Vector Technics’ 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 lities, brought together because the mission demands components that perform as one system.

Because a stronger ecosystem isn’t built in isolation. It takes different capabilities working together.

SpaceFields is turning solid propulsion R&D into scaled manufacturing.
