Nibe to Launch 23 Made-In-India Military-Grade Intelligence Satellites in India

Nibe Limited, a prominent Indian aerospace and defense company, is gearing up to launch a cutting-edge constellation of 23 military-grade intelligence satellites. This ambitious project marks a major milestone in India's efforts to enhance its space-based surveillance and intelligence capabilities.

The constellation is expected to be expanded to 40 satellites over a time of seven years, and these satellites will be manufactured and launched in India.

These Made-In-India satellites will serve multiple purposes including Military Surveillance, Monitoring borders, Disaster Management and Environmental Monitoring such as deforestation and pollution.

Key Features of the Satellites:

Advanced Technologies: The satellites will be equipped with Optical, Infra-Red, and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technologies. These tools are essential for providing high-resolution imagery and real-time data.

Versatile Applications: The satellites will benefit both military and civilian applications, including border monitoring, disaster management, and environmental tracking.

Strategic Partnerships:

Nibe Limited is collaborating with several key players to bring this project to fruition:

Thales Alenia Space: A joint venture between French company Thales and Italian firm Leonardo, providing essential components and expertise.

Larsen & Toubro: A major Indian conglomerate with extensive engineering capabilities.

AgniKul and Skyroot: Indian startups known for their breakthroughs in small satellite launch vehicles.

This initiative not only strengthens India's strategic presence in space but also positions the country as a rising player in the global space industry.

Established in 2021, Nibe Limited is headquarters is located in Pune, Maharashtra. Specifically, their main office for the defense and aerospace division is situated at Chakan Industrial Area, Pune District.

The company also have facilities for their Electric Vehicles division in Maharashtra.

Besides this, it may be recalled that earlier this month, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari announced that India will soon introduce a satellite-based toll collection system on highways. This system will use GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and GPS technology to charge vehicles based on the distance traveled, eliminating the need for toll plazas.
