If I am not mistaken, Kadet Defence Systems is based in Calcutta. I was under the impression that Mr. Irshad Anwar was the founder/owner of the company. I stand corrected.
@VC Mr. Anwar does deal in Quads and Aerial Targets for the army, but they are just towing platforms and 26cc high wing trainers.
His Quads are used for surveillance Pan-India that's what I have heard)
Thanks! :thumbsup:
Btw, Mr. Irshad Anwar bears no relationship with our own exalted Idi Amin, Esq. :giggle:
There is another start up based in Kolkata, TechBla Aerospace http://techblaaerospace.com/Default.aspx . One of the engineers had come to our college and was talking about the company's interest in building sub-orbitals, UAV's etc. I don't know how much they have progressed with their projects.
