This edition of IDAX at Jodhpur, scheduled from today till Saturday, will have a grand participation from the industry and host a wide range of products and technologies. This will be an opportunity for the FFCs and Indian audiences to witness, experience and interact with participants from the Indian Aviation Industry including DPSUs, DRDO, Private Industries (Tier-I, Il, III) and top-notch Start-Ups. IDAX aims to showcase indigenous skills and the indomitable spirit of Indian Aviation Industries to a wide spectrum of decision-makers and end users from Global Air Forces participating in Tarang Shakti 2024. Participation of Friendly Foreign Countries in the exposition will help India’s Aerospace industry seek export opportunities, integrate into the supply chain of Foreign OEMs and ensure collaboration for co-production or co-development of India’s Defence needs.
IAF’s Directorate of Aerospace Design will participate in the exposition with partner startups. These startups are expected to showcase niche technologies and products like RF Gun to counter unmanned aerial threats, High Altitude Pseudo-Satellite (HAPS), Loitering ammunition, Air-launched Flexible assets, Augmented Reality /Virtual Reality (AR/VR) smart glasses tech tool for training, Expandable Active Decoys, Real-time aircrew health monitoring system and Foldable field mats to mitigate quick runway repair, highlighting the growing strength and potential of India’s aerospace sector.
lAF has been playing a pivotal role in nurturing innovators, startups, and MSMEs identifying, developing and implementing innovative solutions. Through dedicated mentoring and guidance, the Directorate of Aerospace Design is steering these entities toward developing cutting-edge technologies that align with the future requirements of the lAF, thereby strengthening the government’s push towards ‘Atmanirbharta’.
This Exposition would be the best platform for the Aviation and Defence Sector Industrial Partners to connect with IAF’s Innovation Directorate and decision-makers, and witness the display of indigenous products.
