Hyderabad based aerospace and defence technology company Ananth Technologies Private Limited (ATL) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), Bengaluru, to collaborate on the design, development and manufacturing of advanced electronic systems for defence and aerospace applications.

 Under the MoU, ATL and BEL will explore opportunities to jointly develop and manufacture advanced systems and subsystems across key strategic technology areas, including missiles, radars, satellites and navigation systems.

The collaboration aims to leverage the complementary strengths of the two organisations as BEL brings extensive experience in the development and production of sophisticated defence electronic systems, while Ananth Technologies brings over three decades of expertise in high-reliability aerospace and defence electronics, satellite systems, avionics, navigation technologies and advanced manufacturing.
