More Technology Collaboration Needed, Says BEL Boss

Technology issues need to be addressed collaboratively to meet challenges not only from design to deployment, but also throughout the life cycle of the products and systems, according to Anil Kumar, chairman and managing director of India’s Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL). “The technologies of aerospace products are so diverse that it would be quite impossible for any single entity to provide complete solutions,” he told a seminar organized in conjunction with this week’s Aero India show in Bangalore. “Major global aerospace industries should forge international collaborations and alliances to come up with innovative cost effective solutions.”
