Bangalore-based CNC India, a leader in providing innovative design, fabrication, and integration solutions, has achieved a significant milestone by receiving the SAMAR Assessment Certification. This certification signifies CNC India’s strong association with India’s Space and Defence organizations, including ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) and DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation).
The SAMAR (Surface to Air Missile for Assured Retaliation) air defense system is a crucial component of India’s short-range air defense network. Inducted into the Indian Air Force in December 2023, SAMAR boasts the capability to intercept low-flying aerial threats like unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), loitering munitions, and attack helicopters within a range of 12 kilometers and at speeds exceeding Mach 2.5.
Developed by the Indian Air Force’s 7 Base Repair Depot (BRD) and 11 BRD in collaboration with Indian private companies Simran Flowtech Industries and Yamazuki Denki, the SAMAR system is a testament to India’s growing self-reliance in the defense sector. CNC India’s contribution through this certification signifies the company’s commitment to supporting and strengthening this vital initiative.
