Samtel Avionics, Defence Systems bag Rs 500-cr order from UK-based Curtiss-Wright Controls Defense Solutions - The Economic Times
Samtel Avionics and Defence Systems have signed a contract, estimated at Rs 500 crore, with the UK-based Curtiss-Wright Controls Defense Solutions, in one of the largest defence tenders awarded to an Indian private sector defence firm by a global defence manufacturer.
According to the terms of the seven-year contract, signed earlier this month, Samtel will make high-definition, rugged liquid crystal cockpit displays for Curtiss-Wright's customers, including, Eurocopter, Sikorsky, Agusta Westland, all of which are currently in the running for a number of Indian military contracts.
"Samtel aims to make around 5000-7000 displays in next five to seven years. These displays embedded in helicopters will help homeland security and paramilitary forces across the globe to conduct various missions, including surveillance and combat operations," said Puneet Kaura, executive director of Samtel.
The first chunk of the order has already been received by Samtel, and the development of the product as per the technology partnership requirements is to begin shortly at Samtel's new production facilities at Greater Noida.
