Defense
The defense industry encompasses the entire spectrum of research, production, sales, servicing, and supply of weapons and defense-related technologies worldwide. To grasp the vast scope of this sector, one must consider the wide array of products and systems involved—including guns, artillery, ammunition, missiles, military vehicles, ships, aircraft, tanks, electronic systems, surveillance equipment, radars, holographic weapons, laser guidance systems, range finders, bombs, mines, and more.
As one of the largest global industries, the defense sector is valued in the multi-trillion dollar range. India ranks among the top global importers of arms and ammunition, reflecting its strategic focus on defense modernization. Within India, the defense industry is also one of the largest adopters of condition monitoring, test, and measurement technologies, recognizing their critical role in ensuring equipment reliability, safety, and operational excellence.
Condition Monitoring – Key Applications
- Diesel Engine Analysis on Ships and Tanks – Monitors engine performance and identifies faults for timely maintenance in defense vehicles and marine systems
- Vibration Analysis and Balancing of Helicopter Rotors and Gas Turbines – Ensures optimal performance, reduces mechanical stress, and enhances safety
- Acoustic Devices for Metal Aberration Detection – Identifies internal flaws or defects in metals during manufacturing or operational use
- Ground Vibration Measurement Systems for Testing Facilities – Used in testing and research setups to monitor environmental and structural vibrations
Test & Measurement – Notable Use Cases
- Eye Movement Recorders – Applied in the ergonomic design and development of aircraft, naval vessels, and armored vehicles, ensuring operator comfort and reducing fatigue
- Perimeter Surveillance – Advanced security solutions for safeguarding factories, testing grounds, and high-security defense installations
