Axiscades Technologies has received defence orders worth Rs 600 crore through its defence subsidiaries, significantly expanding its role in India’s indigenous military modernisation efforts. The orders make up nearly one-third of the company’s current order book, which now stands at around Rs 1,800 crore.
The contracts are spread across multiple domains including airborne, naval, and radar-based systems, and will be executed over the next three to five years. According to the company, the projects cover both prototyping and full-scale production, contributing to long-term capability development for India’s defence forces.
Awarded by defence laboratories and public sector undertakings, the orders include the development and delivery of high-precision sub-systems that are vital to ongoing projects led by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and other strategic agencies.
Key programmes covered under the orders include:
- AESA Radar Program for Su-30 MKI Upgrade: Axiscades will develop and supply critical radar sub-systems including the Exciter Unit, Receiver Unit, and Antenna Beam Control Motherboard. These components will replace Russian-origin systems, advancing India’s indigenous radar capabilities.
- Transmit-Receive Modules for S-Band Surveillance Radars: The company will design and supply TR modules to improve target detection, tracking precision, and signal fidelity for long-range operations.
- Long-Range Battle Management Radar (LRBMR) – KUSHA: The order includes support for developing indigenous Digital Beam Forming units. Operating in the S-band, the radar offers a detection range exceeding 500 km and can track multiple targets simultaneously.
- Electric Heavy Weight Torpedo (EHWT): Axiscades will deliver the Homing Receiver, a critical system enabling autonomous underwater target acquisition for submarine-launched anti-submarine warfare torpedoes.
- Submarine Sonar Systems: This production order reinforces the company’s growing role in undersea warfare technologies by supplying key sonar sub-systems.
Commenting on the development, Axiscades CTO C Manikandan said the orders reflect the company’s core strengths in radar, sonar, and electronic systems, and demonstrate its deep integration into India’s premier defence research and production ecosystem.
These orders are expected to significantly enhance India’s self-reliance in high-end defence technologies and mark a major step forward in the country’s push for indigenous defence manufacturing.
