Washington: A top US drone manufacturer has announced a partnership with a leading Indian forging company to manufacture main landing gear components, subassemblies, and assemblies of remotely piloted aircraft in the country, a PTI report in The Tribune, Chandigarh, says
San Diego-based General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI), a subsidiary of General Atomics, said its partnership with Bharat Forge Limited would result in significant capability-building for both companies and provide an impetus to the Indian large, unmanned aircraft industry.
“GA-ASI is eagerly looking forward to working with Bharat Forge in the critical field of aero-structure manufacturing,” said Vivek Lall, Chief Executive of General Atomics Global Corporation.
With over five decades of experience in manufacturing a wide range of high-performance, critical safety components, Bharat Forge offers full-service supply capability from concept to product design, engineering, manufacturing, testing, and validation, a media release said.
“Bharat Forge’s expertise in the field of forging is known globally, and their outstanding contributions in the aerospace sector has inspired us to work together for building the next generation of the world’s most advanced unmanned aerial vehicles,” Lall said.
Bharat Forge Limited Chairman and Managing Director Baba Kalyani, said aerospace is a high ‘technology intensive’ domain, which relies on product integrity, reliability, and zero defect.
“This is a culture by itself and demands a strong focus on people and processes. As part of our Aerospace Growth Strategy, our collaboration with GA-ASI is a strong testimony of our culture in Bharat Forge Aerospace to assimilate and demonstrate the same, as partners to General Atomics, in making India Atmanirbhar,” Kalyani said.
