India’s aerospace sector is growing quickly, with the market projected to reach $70 billion by 2030 and grow over 7% annually through 2034. As per the recently-released 15-year Technology Perspective and Capability Roadmap, the IAF is set to acquire stealth unmanned aerial combat vehicles, remotely piloted aircrafts, and high-altitude pseudo-satellites, among others. This development closely… Continue reading Meet the next-gen materials driving innovation in aerospace
As India races towards becoming a global aerospace powerhouse, CUMI is proud to be at the forefront of driving innovation in advanced materials for the aerospace industry. With the country’s ambitious goal to develop its indigenous fifth-generation fighter jet engine and establish itself as a global MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) hub, one thing is… Continue reading CUMI Whitepaper: Unlocking Unmatched Performance and Efficiency for Aerospace with Advanced Ceramic Coatings
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
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
In the last two decades since its discovery, Graphene has only garnered ever-growing interest. As per the Graphene Council, over 1.5 lakh graphene-related patents and 3.7 lakh research papers revolve around graphene-related materials alone. The ‘wonder material’ has the potential to radically transform industries and applications from engineering lighter aero structures, highly transparent and light… Continue reading Five Ways Graphene Could Revolutionise Aerospace
Light weighting has emerged as the No.1 priority in defence and aerospace for applications across the board – from lighter aero structures to comfortable bulletproof vests. Materials science has helped address this challenge. Advanced materials such as ceramic- and graphene-based nano-composites are not only leading for being high-performance but also uncompromising when it comes to… Continue reading Materials Science helping soldiers tread lightly and aerial vehicles safely lift off
India has included a steadily expanding number of defence platforms, components and sub-systems as part of the Positive Indigenisation Lists. While the larger goal is to address self-sufficiency and greater export potential in this area, a big plus is also that indigenously developed platforms require home-grown innovations to function at their full potential. Take the… Continue reading Heralding the Future of Vehicle Armour with Advanced Ceramics
Dr. Santanu Mandal, Head of R&D, Industrial Ceramics Division, CUMI, Subbu Venkatachalam, Head of Marketing, CUMI, and Ramasundaram R, Head of Sales and Marketing, Industrial Ceramics Division, CUMI during the award of the Transfer of Technology (ToT) from DMRL
A whitepaper on advanced ceramics for personal protection For centuries now, soldiers and security personnel have relied on body armour to keep themselves safe in dangerous situations. Armour protection systems have been evolving in response to modern threat levels. In this paper, we briefly examine the challenges associated with existing body armour materials and how… Continue reading Ceramic Armour: Shaping Mobility & Protection in Bulletproof Jacket Applications
