Honeywell Aerospace set to ‘Make in India’
Honeywell Aerospace’s Tactical Advanced Land Inertial Navigator (TALIN) will be produced in India by Tata Power's Strategic Engineering Division (SED) under a new licensing agreement between the two companies.
Producing TALIN in India will strengthen Honeywell’s relationship with Indian industry, and mark the first time inertial land navigation technology has been produced locally in the country. Honeywell will license the design, hardware and expertise to assemble, test and, in the future, build the production kits for TALIN to Tata Power SED.
TALIN is a highly accurate, shock-stabilised position and pointing inertial navigation system that enables vehicles and artillery to navigate very precisely - providing attitude and position awareness even where GPS satellite guidance is not available, to increase troop safety and maximise mission success.
Rahul Chaudhry, CEO, Tata Power SED, said: ‘Our strategic agreement with Honeywell supports Tata Power's SED commitment to the 'Make in India' initiative - a priority for India's new Government.
‘We are proud to have completed this technology sharing arrangement, which will offer the Indian armed forces a state-of-the-art inertial navigation technology, made in India and with local product support. This agreement sets the standard for locally produced defence technologies to sustain India's military growth and mission success over the coming years.’
The initial efforts will begin in 2015 for the TALIN 2000 with production and manufacturing of the system components expected by 2016. At this time the agreement will also be extended to cover Honeywell's TALIN 3000, 4000 and 5000 products, which offer varying capabilities to suit a wide range of operational requirements.
