European Aeronautic Defence & Space Co.'s (EAD.FR) Cassidian unit Monday unveiled the first two defense products designed and developed by its research and development center at India's technology hub of Bangalore, two years after the facility was established.
The center, which has 60 Indian engineers, was set up as part of plans to make it a single source supplier of certain technologies for marketing by Cassidian worldwide, the company said.
The high accuracy air pressure measurement system is an on-board sensor that provides pilots with altitude readings, while the structurally integrated antenna is integrated into military aircraft to reduce drag and improve stealth, it said.
Cassidian's growing activity in India follow the company's November announcement that it wants to further strengthen its market presence in the Middle East, India,Brazil and the U.S., in addition to its traditional European sales markets in Germany, France, Spain and the U.K.
Cassidian India chief executive Peter Gutsmiedl said the Bangalore center, while increasing the company's industrial presence in India, allows the company to "customize global products to local requirements, especially in areas such as unmanned aerial vehicles, radar solutions and security systems."
