The aviation and space industry in India has matured and cooperation with Israel can help both sides, says Prof. Rodham Narashima, a former senior official in the Indian space program, and currently holds senior positions in the Indian high-tech industry in Bangalore. who delivered the opening lecture at the 45th Space Conference for Aviation and Space in Tel Aviv. The conference was attended by senior officials from the aviation industry, Rafael, the Technion and other organizations involved in Israel in the field of aviation and space. The guest of honor for the conference was Professor Rudham Narashima, who comprehensively reviewed the research and development areas of the aerospace industries in India.
"As the world becomes a global village, the fields of aviation and space are also changing. The field of aeronautics and space in India is highly developed, and the Indians engage in a wide variety of R&D in these fields. Among the projects reviewed by Professor Narishima is a light helicopter of Indian development, an advanced jet plane for training fighter pilots, various types of space launchers, many satellites, jet engines, and surface-to-surface missiles.
One of the "hot" topics in the world of commercial satellites is observation satellites with a resolution better than one meter. India intends to be active in this field as well. So far, over forty Indian satellites have been launched into space, and one of the interesting projects presented is the Indian spacecraft to the moon. This project offers international space agencies (including Israel) space and weight inside the spacecraft.
One of the interesting issues that emerged from Professor Narishima's review is the fact that India is developing an improved and longer-range version of the cute nuclear warhead Agni ballistic missile (AGNI).
"India's aerospace industry, as depicted from the lecture, is global, and sees cooperation with Israel as a central and important goal for India, which is trying to integrate into the international market through Israel's marketing channels on the one hand, and to fill certain knowledge gaps in which the Indian aerospace industry suffers, for example in the field of sensors , the light satellites developed in Israel, and other fields of knowledge." Prof. Narashima concludes.
Professor Narishima pointed out that in the Indian market, which is growing at an impressive rate, Israel has many options for deepening cooperation, and that Israel has recently become the second largest supplier in the defense sector to India. Despite the variety of equipment - planes, engines, missiles and satellites, developed and launched from India, there are still technological gaps that India still experiences that cooperation with developed countries like Israel can help.
At the same time, the research and consulting company Deloitte-Tosh announced this week that a long list of new countries are expected to enter the space race seriously. China and India in particular will invest heavy sums of money in the development of launch vehicles, support systems and other technologies. The two countries will initially develop technology for missions around the Earth, but with a long-term view towards landing on the moon. Because these countries' space industries are young and small, they will need the cooperation of the private sector.
