The initiative brings together Optimare India’s domain expertise in pollution detection and Rangsons Aerospace’s strengths in mission-critical integration, avionics, and embedded systems. Under this partnership, Rangsons will serve as the production hub, ensuring scalability, lifecycle support, and strong alignment with the Government of India’s Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat vision.
The Pollution Monitoring/Surveillance Systems can be deployed across naval aircraft, UAVs, and maritime platforms, equipped with advanced payloads capable of detecting oil spills, chemical discharges, and hazardous pollutants with real-time data relay. This dual-use technology enhances national defence preparedness while safeguarding India’s maritime environment.
Pavan Ranga, Managing Director, Rangsons Aerospace, said, “This collaboration marks a proud moment for Rangsons Aerospace as we work on a mission of national importance. By combining Optimare’s globally respected pollution detection expertise with our integration and indigenous manufacturing capabilities, we are creating a world-class solution tailored for India. This is more than a technology partnership-it is about strengthening self-reliance, protecting our environment, and building long-term capacity for the country’s defence ecosystem.”
Brig MS Rana, Optimare India, added, “Our partnership with Rangsons marks the beginning of a long-term technology and industrial collaboration, establishing a sustainable, home-grown pollution monitoring capability for the Indian Government’s maritime guarding agencies .”
This initiative not only strengthens India’s self-reliance in critical defence technologies but also supports environmental safeguarding through advanced surveillance systems.
