Bengaluru-based Celeritas Automation LLP has emerged as the winner of the Indian Navy Open Challenge 9.0, securing a contract to develop an advanced Optical Landing System (OLS) for aircraft carriers. The OLS, often referred to as the “meatball,” is a critical piece of equipment that provides pilots with precise glidepath information during the final stages of landing on an aircraft carrier.
The OLS plays a vital role in ensuring the safe and efficient landing of aircraft on aircraft carriers. It consists of a series of lights that project a visual glidepath onto the carrier’s flight deck. Pilots use this information to maintain the correct approach angle and speed for a successful landing.
The development of the OLS by Celeritas Automation is a significant milestone for India’s defense sector. By relying on domestic expertise, the Indian Navy can reduce its dependence on foreign suppliers and ensure a secure and uninterrupted supply of critical equipment. Additionally, a domestically developed OLS can be customized to meet the specific requirements of the Indian Navy, enhancing its operational capabilities.
