Quality Assurance

Our 5-Step QA Process

From initial design to post-deployment feedback — quality is built in, not inspected in.

01

Design & Engineering

Every product begins with CAD modelling, FEA stress analysis, and tolerance engineering to design-in compliance from the first drawing.

02

Controlled Manufacturing

Production takes place in AS 9100D-certified facilities with in-process dimensional checks, material traceability, and welder qualification.

03

In-House Testing

Functional, load, and proof testing at our internal test facility before any product leaves for independent validation.

04

Independent Validation

Ballistic and blast testing at TBRL Chandigarh; aerial system validation at PXE Balasore — all conducted under DRDO oversight.

05

Field Feedback Loop

Post-deployment field data is fed back into engineering review cycles — continuous improvement is a contractual commitment, not an afterthought.
