Panchatejas focuses on critical aspects of Human Engineering and Ergonomics in simplifying and customizing military equipment design enabling green energy solutions and manpower savings furthering rapidity of operations and quick turn-around thereby reduction in overall cost of operations. Panchatejas has a dedicated and inspiring team working towards Atmanirbharta in defense by developing indigenized products and unique solutions for the military and domestic industry in the country.
Key products:
Within a short span of less than 2 years Panchatejas has developed unique products for our defense forces with the concept of Universality, Scalability, Reliability and Simplicity focusing towards improving efficiency, accuracy and rapidity of operations. Some of the major products at display at Tarang Shakti are:
- Motorized Universal Weapon Loading Trolley
- Autonomous Electric Tow Tug
- Aircraft Sustainment Robotics
- Field refrigeration solution- FreeZie
- Dynamic valve Air Shock Absorber
These products are indigenously developed with State-of-the –art- technologies for IAF Flight line maintenance and operational requirements.
- Motorized Universal Weapon Loading Trolley (MUWLT)
The trolley has been designed and customized for loading/unloading and arming of variety of weapon stores for multi-fleet, multi-station, multi -stores requirements
The key features of MUWLT are:
Quick turnaround, reduced GHE/GSE inventory, reduced manpower requirements, Accuracy of loading and reduced fatigue on ground crew. The product addresses the specific challenges of rapidity of operations during configuration changes, role equipment handling, tarmac movement of armament and allows simultaneous loading /unloading of stores on different stations.
MUWLT is designed and ideally suited for various fighter and helicopter fleets with low and high wing stations. The trolley is presently designed for all stations and stores for LCA, but can be customized for other aircraft like Hawk, Jaguar, Rafale, Mig-29. M-2000 and SU-30MKI
MUWLT was extensively evaluated and tested recently at Jaisalmer during weapon trials on LCA with ADA-HAL team. The trolley has successfully met the requirements and suggestions incorporated to meet user requirements.
- Autonomous Tow bar less electric Tow tug
Majority of Air forces and IAF continues to use conventional technology of aircraft towing involving diesel engine powered tractors and towbars across all its airfields for ground handling of its fighter, transport and helicopter fleet for all day-to-day operations. Use of conventional technology for aircraft preparation and operation are a drain on critical manpower (brake manning, wing walkers, tractor drivers). These operations are manpower intensive, slow, noisy and leave high carbon footprint. Conventional GSE are huge constraint on hangar space and restrict free maneuvering in restricted areas.
Autonomous Tow tug has been developed catering to the field and minimal technically supported operating conditions of Army, Navy, Indian Air Force, paramilitary forces and civil airlines to support operations from remote and minimum logistical enabled bases. The Autonomous tow tug can pull and position Fixed wing aircraft and helicopters from 20 to 50 T category along the minimum paved runways, helipads and at field servicing depots with a single ground crew in short time and cost-effective manner without compromising flight safety.
- Freezie
Freezie is a three-wheeler electric mini auto that has a freezer with 50 lts to 400 liters customizable capacity. This is the best solution to handle the perishable goods with a very low power consumption freezer. The freezie is designed to keep good chilled or frozen during transport ensuring maximum freshness and quality.
With its compact size and agility, freezie effortlessly navigates through the congested urban and rural areas. Provided with a dual motor drive train, freezie can handle terrains effortlessly which is a must for defense applications. Freezie reduces operating costs and carbon footprint. With 140km per charge freezie can be also used for medicine delivery, organ shipments, beverage delivery and food delivery by restaurants
- VM Air- Dynamic valve air shock absorber
The one unique air shock absorber technology designed for cutting edge suspension solution to revolutionize the way vehicles handle humps, vibrations and shocks. This innovative technology features a dynamic valve that adjusts to the changing road conditions in real-time, providing unparalleled stability, ride and handling.
Unlike traditional hydraulic shock absorbers, VM Air has an advanced breathing technology and precisely engineered valve system, that wok in harmony to absorb and dissipate energy. VM Air has one third of the component count of a similar hydraulic shock absorber, it’s light in weight and thus cost-effective. This air shock absorber is an ideal solution where weight, reliability, comfort, safety and durability matters, thus making it ideal for use in aircraft, helicopters, drones and automobiles.
