India’s journey toward defence modernisation is entering a transformative phase. As threats evolve and battlefields become more complex, the focus is shifting beyond firepower to include agility, survivability, and world-class protection systems. At the heart of this evolution is the urgent need for advanced personal armour and vehicle armour solutions that meet international protection standards.… Continue reading Benchmarking protection at the heart of future-ready armour systems
India’s ports and naval bases are the lifelines of the nation, handling over 90% of its trade by volume. Dotting a coastline of 11,098.81 km, they are safeguarded by the Indian Navy, Coast Guard, and other agencies responsible for maritime security. The Indian Ocean has witnessed a rise in threats, with naval warfare, unprovoked aggression,… Continue reading Building the backbone of maritime security through innovation in indigenous materials
When soldiers operate in high-intensity combat zones, providing the best possible resources to ensure their safety and comfort is a priority. Personal armour that protects soldiers against a variety of arms and ammunition while allowing them agility is an important part of this. Ballistic threats to soldiers in conflict zones have become more precise and… Continue reading Frontline defence: Modernising body armour where it matters
In the pursuit of Atmanirbhar Bharat, India’s defence landscape is undergoing a radical transformation. One of the most significant areas of focus is the development and modernisation of armoured vehicles, be it Main Battle Tanks, Light Battle Tanks, or Wheeled Armoured Platforms. These machines are no longer just about firepower or mobility. Today, survivability is… Continue reading Armouring vehicles with the best in protection and performance
The team from CUMI with Dr. S. Christopher, former Chairman of DRDO and CUMI’s Defence Advisor at Aero India 2025. The power of indigenous engineering was proudly on display at Aero India this year. Being fully backward integrated and pursuing R&D in advanced materials at our state-of-the-art facilities, CUMI has been able to pioneer innovations… Continue reading Making Materials Matter At Aero India 2025
Being the third largest in domestic aviation and fourth in military aircraft fleet size, India has long relied on abrasive technology for high-precision manufacturing of critical aircraft components. One such key methodology is creep-feed grinding. The creep-feed grinding technique relies on lower speeds and a greater depth of cuts, as compared to other conventional grinding… Continue reading CUMI’s Creep-feed Grinding Tech Powers Precision In Jet Engines
3D printing is not a new technology. It has been around since the 1980s. However, it has evolved tremendously in the last 10 years as a technology capable of creating intricate and complex products for some important industries. Among the materials gaining popularity in 3D printing is ceramics. The ceramic 3D printing market was worth… Continue reading How 3D Ceramic Printing Is Shifting The Course Of The Aerospace Industry
