EndureAir Systems has raised an investment from Singularity to expand production and deployment of its military unmanned systems, according to an announcement by the investor.
EndureAir, an aerospace spin-out from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, develops drones for India's armed forces. The firm stated that seven of its eight systems are at technology readiness level four or above, with two already deployed at level nine. Up to 70 per cent of its hardware is produced domestically, including airframes, composite structures, and flight and ground control systems.
The manufacturer co-developed a 50-kilogramme logistics drone with Bharat Electronics Limited and is collaborating with Ananth Technologies on a long-range strike drone. Its 200-kilogramme heavy-lift platform received grant funding from the Technology Development Board under its research and development scheme.
Singularity stated that its team will work alongside founders Abhishek, Rama Krishna and Chirag Jain on customer acquisition, programme conversions and international export pipelines.
