Coimbatore: Codissia Defence Innovation and Atal Incubation Centre (CDIIC) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Indian Air Force (IAF) to indigenize defence products.
The memorandum was signed in the presence of defence minister Rajnath Singh, chief of defence staff Bipin Rawat and secretary (defence production) Raj Kumar in Bengaluru on Friday.
The memorandum was signed with an objective to find solutions for repair and indigenization of parts, sub-assemblies, assemblies and aggregates among others for IAF aircrafts and to provide mentoring to startup companies incubated at CDIIC, a statement from Codissia said.
President of Codissia said MV Ramesh Babu, “In October 2020, we signed a deal with the Navy Ship Repair Yard (NSRY) in Kochi to design and manufacture required products. In the past few months, 10 companies had registered to work for NSRY and found solutions for two to three products. We will be working with the IAF in a similar manner.”
