27 August–2 September 2026 This Week in Defence Technology This week’s developments show that defence technology is increasingly being shaped by three connected pressures: production capacity, low-cost unmanned threats, and the need to shorten the path from development to field use. Germany announced a major expansion of Rheinmetall’s Kassel complex for armoured-vehicle production, logistics and […]
24–30 August 2026 This Week in Indian MRO The clearest MRO development this week came from the land-defence sector. On 27 August, the Ministry of Defence launched a ₹472-crore project at Vehicle Factory Jabalpur to create additional overhaul capacity for…
19–25 August 2026 This Week in Defence Technology This week’s most important defence-technology developments point to a common theme: military advantage increasingly depends on how quickly nations can connect technology, manufacturing, software, testing and production. Several developments illustrate this clearly.…
17–23 August 2026 This Week in Indian MRO The strongest development for India’s MRO ecosystem this week was not a new maintenance hangar or overhaul contract. It was the Ministry of Defence’s sixth Positive Indigenisation List, issued on 18 August,…
12–18 August 2026 This Week in Defence Technology This week’s developments point to a widening definition of the military industrial base. Advanced capability is increasingly determined not only by the ability to manufacture aircraft, ships and missiles, but also by…

India is increasing focus to building sustainment capability. Recent initiatives involving MiG-29UPG upgrades, predictive maintenance for Su-30MKI fighters, private-sector participation in Prachand helicopter production, and expanded Vande Bharat train maintenance facilities reflect a growing emphasis on self-reliance, lifecycle management, and operational readiness. These efforts highlight four key trends: indigenous maintenance capability, predictive maintenance technologies, stronger private-sector involvement, and long-term sustainment planning. If successfully executed, this maintenance-centered approach could become a cornerstone of India's future industrial and strategic strength.
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has successfully completed captive flight tests of the RudraM-III missile on the Indian Air Force’s Sukhoi Su-30MKI. This integration addresses complex aerodynamic and structural challenges of equipping a frontline fighter with such a…
