New Delhi, Jun 6 (KNN) Working on a breakthrough technology which can do the country proud, the Delhi Technical University is developing an unmanned aerial vehicle for which it seeks to build partnership with the industry.
Delhi Technological University (formerly Delhi College of Engineering) is a non-affiliated; teaching cum research university engaged in education, research, product innovation and extension work in applied sciences, engineering and management and is committed to foster excellence.
UAS-DTU, a team of students from Delhi Technological University, has been into the design and development of indigenous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), with the ultimate goal of reducing India's reliance on foreign UAVs, official data said.
The team has also developed low-cost Image processing paradigms and integrated it with their unmanned aerial system to aid in surveillance and reconnaissance. The team, under mentorship and funding from Lockheed Martin has developed a U.A.S. - the Aarush X1 that is tailor-made for surveillance.
“Our performance at the Annual Student Unmanned Air Systems Competition is a testimony to our dedication towards our Ultimate Goal,” it said.
DTU is in a position where it can design a UAV suited for the Indian market and wants to collaborate with an industry partner with whom they can take it to the next level for manufacture. The partnership objective is to manufacture a UAV to cater to market demands.
In this context, DTU seeks industrial partnership from companies in order to facilitate the mass manufacturing of UAVs.
As far as expectations from the industry partner are concerned, the company must be well capitalized to take on a new product development; and be able to demonstrate its past actions in support of establishing itself in the field of UAS market as well as its long term interest in the field of UAS.
In addition, the company should have technical expertise in the area of UAV/Aviation; as well as manufacturing capabilities and facilities. The company would have to arrange for the certification and testing of the UAV; and play an active role in the marketing of the UAV.
Also with past experience in the field of aerospace, the company should have local (New Delhi) facility to enable DTU students to collaborate with their engineering staff in product design and manufacturing. DTU is willing to commit to a maximum of 3200 hours of student services per month (for a total of twenty students) for the duration of the project. (KNN/ES)
