Sunita Tools Limited, a leader in the engineering and defense sectors, has made a strategic move to expand its capabilities in the artillery and defense industries. The company has acquired a minority stake in HYPRIX Aviation Private Limited, a leading innovator in precision-guided systems and payload delivery technologies.
As part of a two-pronged approach to developing crucial artillery shell components, Sunita Tools is focusing on advancing the CCF and PGK fuses. To achieve this, the company is establishing an in-house R&D center dedicated to researching and developing these fuses, while also collaborating with external teams with complementary expertise for accelerated research and development.
HYPRIX Aviation, known for its cutting-edge technology in the ammunition field, specializes in course-correction and precision-guided fuses that can be retrofitted into existing artillery shells to drastically enhance their accuracy. Additionally, the company is at the forefront of developing supersonic payload delivery systems and is the first private firm in India to develop a ramjet propulsion system.
HYPRIX is backed by a team of highly regarded founders and international investors, and the partnership with Sunita Tools aims to revolutionize fuse technology, opening up new market opportunities for both companies. Commenting on the recent development, Sanjay Pandey, Chairman & Whole-Time Technical Director of Sunita Tools Limited, said “We are thrilled to announce our partnership with HYPRIX Aviation. This acquisition provides us with access to a talented R&D team that will be focused on developing advanced fuses for artillery shells, supporting our efforts to integrate these into our manufacturing processes.
