India, with the Navy’s aging inventory, is the mainstream market because the armed forces are looking for upgrading systems for digital and accurate war.
Drawing on your success in Dornier, Reliance is now scalable updating on stationary wings and rotary platforms and works with international firms to offer next -generation aviation, missionary systems and logistics solutions.
