Mahindra partners with Ultra Electronics
Mahindra Defence Naval Systems has partnered with Ultra Electronics UK to provide underwater warfare equipment for the Indian armed forces, it was announced on 6 July.
The partnership is part of India's 'Make in India' initiative and will see the two companies build and supply next-generation systems to meet Indian Navy requirements. Systems will include mine countermeasure equipment, integrated anti-submarine warfare defence suite and new torpedo defence systems. The companies will also develop systems for anti-submarine warfare vessels, underwater ranges, sonobuoys and submarine safety equipment.
The partnership will also address the need for specialised radios for the tactical communication systems of the Indian Army.
S P Shukla, chairman, Mahindra Defence Naval Systems, said: 'The Indian Navy has been importing a major part of underwater war fighting equipment from abroad to service its needs. We expect to provide cutting edge technology to the Indian Navy in this field in partnership with Ultra Electronics. We also expect to address the requirement of specialised radios and other defence electronics for all the three wings of the armed forces.'
Rakesh Sharma, CEO, Ultra Electronics, added: 'This highly significant new partnership with Mahindra Defence Naval Systems, to deliver a range of advanced anti-submarine warfare capabilities to the Indian Navy, builds upon our existing collaboration in providing modern, software defined tactical radios to the Indian Army. Together, these activities make the foundation of a strong and lasting relationship with the Mahindra Group.'
