October 6th, 2016: Alpha Design Technologies Pvt. Ltd., a leading Bengaluru based manufacturer
and technological services provider in India's defence and paramilitary markets,
today announced the winning of a prestigious multi-million dollar contract from
Elbit Systems, an Israel-headquartered international high-technology company engaged
in a wide range of defence, homeland security and commercial programs. The
contract involves manufacturing of 600 VHF communication devices for Exports
and later for large scale manufacture to cater for the requirements of our Country’s
Armoured Corps.
The Bengaluru based company is widely known for its capabilities in
delivering defence electronics and aero structures, as well as R&D and manufacturing.
Further, Alpha has been strongly supporting the ‘Make In India’ campaign of the Central Government.
Alpha has planned new initiatives and investments to cater for expected
growth, taking into consideration current and future challenges in securing
India’s borders from external threats. The company has made a detailed analysis
of how it can take a lead role to support our defence forces, particularly by
quicker supplies and induction of new equipment, to fill the gaps in our border
defences.
Speaking at the announcement,
Colonel H. S. Shankar, Chairman and Managing Director, Alpha Design
Technologies, said, “It is a matter of immense pride
for us that we have been selected to provide high end VHF communication units
for Exports and concurrently to fulfil critical communication needs of the
Indian Army. Our equipment has been selected on the basis of international
specifications. With an earnest objective of securing the nation’s borders, we
look forward to supporting our brave Armed Forces for other requirements as
well.”
He further added, “Unhindered and top-notch communication has
emerged as an essential element to winning battles in this era of modern
warfare. In these circumstances, there is a requirement for boosting indigenous
defence manufacturing to international standards, as it will make our country
self-reliant and to make up the deficiencies of communication equipment for our
Armoured Fleet”.
Col. Shankar further stated that he was a member of Defence
Industry Delegation which visited Forward Areas in Kashmir just before the
hostilities, arranged by Army HQ. On
this basis, a detailed analysis has been made to further improve the equipment
availability and enhance the technological capabilities to cater for
Operational requirements. These pertain
to Opt-electronics, C3I and Surveillance equipment. A series of upgraded indigenous equipment
have been quickly developed / upgraded by ADTL and these are being offered to
Army, particularly, to Northern Command, to enhance the Op-readiness.
