The aerospace sector has emerged as a key player in the current geopolitical and technological domination of the world. India, having lost out on possibilities in the first arms race, finds itself at a crucial juncture where its aerospace capabilities will profoundly impact its standing after 2030. Firms such as Cingularity Aerospace are at the vanguard of India's efforts to reaffirm its competitiveness in this vital industry.
Based out of Bengaluru, Karnataka and established in 2014, Cingularity Aerospace is an ISO 9001:2015, and AS 9100D certified company in aerospace and defense sector. The firm specializes in providing comprehensive services such as integrated design, development and manufacturing (IDDM) compliant solutions which are tailored for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV).
Apart from this the firm also specializes in Precision Engineering services for Aerospace Sector, UAV design, development, integration of technology and POC. With a 16,000 square feet of built-up plant space and state-of-the-art infrastructure, including Aerospace Facilities, Composite Panel Fabrication, and Assembly Units, the company delivers high-quality products and services, addressing both civilian and military applications.
Cingularity Aerospace is a prime contractor for the National Aeronautics Laboratories HAPS Project and DRDO’s SWIFT Program. The firm excels in integrating advanced material technologies and modular designs into the structures and airframes, particularly integrating LRUs and smart systems.
One of the examples of the firm’s innovation is the development of drones for defense projects which are capable of ‘dark mode’ flight. These drones are designed to operate in GPS-denied environments and rely solely on onboard inertial navigation systems. This capability, known as fly-by-sight, enables the drones to navigate from point A to point B without any external signals.
Driving Innovation & Indigenization
Cingularity Aerospace aims to meet the evolving needs of the aerospace industry, particularly aligning with initiatives such as Make in India. “India's defense production is still in its nascent stage, especially in the aerospace sector. Therefore, we are dedicated to doing extensive research and development to close this gap through quick developments in drone technology and other aerospace applications.
Our areas of research include material science, predictive maintenance technologies, and component miniaturization. By giving priority to these sectors, we aim to help India's aerospace industry grow strong and independent and thereby take part in what may be considered a worldwide modern arms race. We were the only private entity in the company of giants and sovereigns at Aero India 2023 to display our UAV call sign Bravo-Tango, unveiled by Somnath (Chairman ISRO) on the tarmac," adds Vishal Markanday, CEO of Cingularity Aerospace.
By offering a range of IDDM-compliant solutions from advanced haps platforms to hydrogen-powered uavs & the innovative ram concept, we are paving the way for a new era of aerospace solutions
Streamlining Client Engagement
The customer engagement approach used by Cingularity Aerospace usually starts at the drawing board, when clients involve Cingularity in the first design conversations to specify goals and specifications. Collaborative design activities, such as ANSYS simulations and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) assessments, are part of the interaction. The next step is rapid prototyping, which involves building scaled models and incorporating required technology. The firm’s groundbreaking accomplishment of creating and successfully testing a tailless delta wing layout for the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) is an example of how this iterative approach culminates in demonstration stages.
Ascending in Aerospace Innovation
“As a corporation with AS 9100D certification that operates from a cutting-edge research and development center, we are currently setting off on a bold growth trajectory. In the future, we aim to double our size per year for the next five years, with a strong customer outreach program in place,” concludes Vishal.
