In a significant stride towards fostering indigenous defense technology, Larsen & Toubro (L&T), one of India’s leading engineering and construction conglomerates, has announced a collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT Kanpur). This partnership is focused on the development of a Flight Laboratory dedicated to the advancement of Fixed Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and the creation of sophisticated Flight Control Computers (FCC).

L&T, known for its expertise in defense systems integration and manufacturing, is leveraging IIT Kanpur’s renowned aerospace engineering capabilities. The flight laboratory at IIT Kanpur, already a hub for cutting-edge research in aviation technology, will now see an infusion of L&T’s industry know-how to further these initiatives.

Fixed Wing UAV Development: The project aims to design and develop UAVs that are not only suited for military applications like surveillance and reconnaissance but also for civilian uses such as disaster management, environmental monitoring, and precision agriculture. The focus will be on enhancing endurance, payload capacity, and autonomy of these vehicles.

Flight Control Computer (FCC): A critical component for any aerial system, the FCC is responsible for managing and controlling the flight dynamics of UAVs. This partnership will work on developing a next-generation FCC, which will offer improved reliability, real-time processing capabilities, and integration with advanced sensor suites for better decision-making during flight operations.
