India to Revolutionize Airport Systems with New Center of Excellence

SAMEER and ThreeDis partner to develop indigenous solutions for airport navigation and security under Atmanirbhar Bharat vision.

In a landmark step towards self-reliance in aviation technology, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and ThreeDis have joined forces to establish a Center of Excellence for airport systems and security in India. This strategic collaboration aims to address key challenges in airport navigation, communication, and security while aligning with the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.

The initiative was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding signed on December 12, 2024, between SAMEER (Society for Applied Microwave Electronics Engineering and Research), an R&D organization under MeitY, and Three D Integrated Solutions Ltd. (ThreeDis). The signing was witnessed by eminent officials, including Prof. Ajay Kumar Sood, Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, and Shri S. Krishnan, Secretary MeitY.

This partnership, facilitated by the MANTHAN platform, underscores a collaborative approach to innovation. Launched in 2022 by Prof. Sood, MANTHAN fosters alliances between government, industry, and research entities to achieve national and global sustainability goals.

Shri S. Krishnan emphasized the importance of developing indigenous solutions to meet international standards. “SAMEER’s research outcomes, in collaboration with industry stakeholders like ThreeDis, will enhance India’s capabilities in airport navigation, communication, and security,” he said.

Dr. P. Hanumantha Rao, Director General of SAMEER, highlighted the pressing need for advanced RF and microwave systems tailored for Indian airports. He called for an ecosystem to certify homegrown technologies for international compliance, cementing India’s leadership in aviation technology.

The collaboration has also garnered support from the Airports Authority of India (AAI), ensuring user-centric development and deployment of these solutions. As the aviation sector grows, this partnership is poised to make India a global hub for advanced, indigenous aviation technology.
