Apollo Micro Systems (AMS), a rising star in the aerospace and defence sector, has secured a prestigious contract from the Indian Army. The company was selected based on its capabilities for a Make II project under the Defence Acquisition Programme (DAP) 2020.
This project involves the procurement of a Vehicle Mounted Counter Swarm Drone System (VMCSDS), Version I. In a press release, Apollo Micro Systems described the project as “very prestigious” and their first Make II initiative. The company boasts that the systems developed through this project will be “state-of-the-art” and possess highly futuristic qualities.
The Make II category within the DAP aims to foster innovation and indigenous development in the Indian defence sector. By awarding contracts to capable domestic firms like AMS, the program seeks to promote technological self-reliance and reduce dependence on foreign imports.
