SERVICES
Several testing facilities have been set up that ensure
high quality design and development of hardware and
software products used in the current Akash
system. Hence also, the capability to generate upgrades
and customized design products. Adequate missile assembly
and storage facilities also exist. Both routes for testing
are applied; laboratory and field conditions. Consistent
performance with high reliability are two of the core
objectives. Comprehensive simulation and modeling tools
have also been developed and validated.
Production Readiness
The various subsystems have been sourced from private
and public industry sources within India. The vendors
have been chosen specifically for their mass production
capabilities, manpower and quality management systems.
This will ensure timely production deliveries. Cost
competitiveness of the system with respect to other
systems in the field with similar capabilities, has
been a primary objective throughout the course of
the program.
Life Cycle Support
It is intended to fully exploit the in-house design
capability and make a commitment to a pre-planned
product improvement program on a continuing basis.
This ensures management of obsolescence of components
and systems. Improved functionalities will be developed
and integrated as per customer requirements. This
process enables life cycle support together with the
benefit of continuous improvements.
In addition, the Project has a dedicated team of
scientists for obtaining feedback and rectification
through maintenance support or upgrades. The training
team is also available for user training in equipment
functionality and technical maintenance. Engineering
support packages have been developed for various systems.
Our teams are conditioned to closely interact with
the users to provide intimate advice, training, and
maintenance support and obtain relevant technical
feedback for customer satisfaction.
The customer therefore, will have a single window
production and support platform.
