Mahindra & Mahindra Limited : Mahindra Group showcases Aerospace capability at ?Aero India 2013? | 4-Traders
The Mahindra Group is showcasing its entire might in the aerospace domain with a joint display at Aero India 2013, encompassing Mahindra Aerospace, Mahindra Satyam and Mahindra Defense Systems. These companies are coming together under the banner of 'Integrated Defence Solutions for Aerospace', highlighting the diversity of products and services on offer for the aerospace industry from the Mahindra Group.
February 6, 2013, Bengaluru: The Mahindra Group is showcasing its entire might in the aerospace domain with a joint display at Aero India 2013, encompassing Mahindra Aerospace, Mahindra Satyam and Mahindra Defense Systems. These companies are coming together under the banner of 'Integrated Defence Solutions for Aerospace', highlighting the diversity of products and services on offer for the aerospace industry from the Mahindra Group.
The Group's joint display is at Stall A.3.4, Hall A at Aero India 2013, which is Asia's premier Defense, Aerospace and Civil Aviation Air Show. It is being held at Yelahanka Air Force Base, Bengaluru, from February 6 to 10, 2013. Aero India is promoted by the Indian Ministry of Defence as a platform to showcase and promote the Indian defence industry to a global audience.
Mahindra Aerospace offers a unique portfolio of utility aircraft and metallic aerostructures manufacturing capabilities out of its investments in India and Australia. It is the only Indian utility aircraft player with a portfolio of utility aircraft including the GA8, GA10 and GA18, aircraft in addition to the CNM5. It also produces metallic airframe parts, sub-assemblies and aero structures in India and Australia.
The company has a demonstrated commitment to public-private partnership with an innovative program for the joint development of a light utility aircraft, the CNM5. This aircraft took its maiden flight in Australia, in 2011. It is now being prepared for Type Certification - just like the GA10, which is slated to achieve that milestone early next year. The GA10 had its first flight exactly 10 months after the CNM-5, at the same facility. It is a turboprop derivative of the GA8 and offers two extra passenger seats and the lowest costs in its class.
The GA8 Airvan, which is the mainstay of the company's utility aircraft portfolio, continues to go from strength to strength. On the heels of its 2011 circumnavigation of the earth for charity came the milestone of achieving Australia's highest ever production volumes for a certified aircraft. The GA8 Astra which is being marketed at the Aero India show is a unique economical adaptation of the GA8 and is a remarkable reconnaissance platform.
Mahindra Aerospace is also developing the GA18 - a twin turboprop, 18 seat, utility turboprop aircraft combining field-tested aircraft DNA with modern design upgrades and systems to set a new benchmark for robust affordable utility. To be launched after a comprehensive analysis of market needs spanning a variety of uses worldwide, the GA18 program will extend the company's portfolio into an exciting new domain.
Mahindra Aerospace is also making major investments in a new 25,000 sq. m service-oriented manufacturing facility at Bengaluru which will start operations from April 2013, leading to AS9100 and other approvals later this year. The facility will offer the ability to craft large and compound curved sheet metal parts and assemblies with access to in-house special processing facilities for priming and painting. It will also directly address concerns about single-point responsibility for cost, schedule and quality in metallic parts and assemblies.
According to Arvind Mehra, Executive Director and Global CEO, Mahindra Aerospace, "We are working to emerge as a partner of choice for global A&D majors for their regional and strategic growth objectives. We can offer them design-to-build capabilities along with financial stability and strong corporate governance which is a hallmark of the Mahindra Group."
It is keen to work with a range of customers including global A&D OEMs, their Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers (for aerostructures capability, aircraft interests, aerospace strategic intent, regional growth opportunities) the Indian Ministry of Defense, DRDO labs, and Indian PSUs for domestic aircraft programs, private-public partnerships and policy matters. Other potential customers include the state police units, central and state paramilitary aircraft operators, Border Security Force, internal security wings and the Coast Guard for low-cost, low-threat surveillance options.
Mahindra Satyam,with its global footprint and advanced technical skills, is seeking to emerge as a global design house for customers during their new product and sustenance programs. The company offers a range of services including sub-system design and IT implementation capabilities complemented by Mahindra Group's global technology partnerships, along with manufacturing and systems integration capabilities.
All this allows it to offer end-to-end product lifecycle support from design and development, to manufacturing and MRO. With its unique ecosystem of academia, R&D and regional manufacturing partnerships, Mahindra Group's A&D practice is aptly positioned as the preferred partner for Indian defence offset requirements.
Mahindra Telephonics is an upcoming joint venture between Mahindra Defence and Telephonics Corporation of the US. The company is setting up a world class facility in Bengaluru to manufacture, repair and overhaul airborne radars, aircraft communication systems, IFF MK-X11 (S) and mobile surveillance systems.
Some of the existing platforms in India that use these systems are the ALH (Dhruv), Mi-17 V5, P8i, AW-101, C-17 & C-130J. The company will provide customized solutions for Border Surveillance, Critical Infrastructure Protection, Air Traffic Radar Systems and Air Traffic Management Systems. It aims to develop indigenous capability in strategic electronics manufacturing and system integration to offset the requirements of various OEMs.
