IIIT Bangalore, Software Dev Institute and Indian Air Force partner for R&D
The International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore (IIIT-B) and the Indian Air Force's Software Development Institute (SDI) have unveiled a collaborative alliance focused on spearheading pioneering research and development initiatives, as well as nurturing the emergence of inventive products and methodologies.
Speaking about the partnership, Prof.  Debabrata Das, Director, IIIT-B, said, "The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between IIIT-B and SDI marks a pivotal collaboration aimed at driving innovation in waveform design. With a shared commitment to advancing telecommunications technology, both entities will pool their expertise to meticulously craft and optimize cutting-edge waveforms that will redefine the performance and efficiency of airborne systems".
Air Vice Marshal KN Santhosh, VSM, Commandant SDI, said, "Teaming up with IIIT-B represents a significant milestone for us. By leveraging a combination of IIIT-B's proficiency in cutting-edge R&D activities and SDI's excellence in software development, the collaboration is poised to introduce ground-breaking advancements in waveform design".
IIIT-B, a distinguished institution acclaimed for its outstanding achievements in research, education, and training, is leveraging its expertise to form a partnership with SDI, a vital division within the Indian Air Force tasked with software development for avionics software systems and integration. SDI also assumes a crucial responsibility in delivering specialized training to designated officers of the IAF.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between IIIT-B and SDI outlines a detailed framework for collaboration, highlighting crucial domains including cutting-edge research and development, as well as customized training programs overseen by SDI. The overarching goal is to furnish the Indian Air Force with the necessary knowledge and skills to advance innovation within the sector.
As a tangible manifestation of this collaborative spirit, IIIT-B has committed to initiating a specialized training program titled 'Communication Theory and DSP for Waveform Design'. This program, designed for IAF personnel nominated by SDI, will be spearheaded by the esteemed Prof. Prem Singh from IIIT-B Bangalore. Prof. Prem Singh, an expert in 5G and Beyond Waveform Design, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to guide the participants through cutting-edge advancements in the telecommunications domain.
The partnership between IIIT-B and SDI is expected to generate groundbreaking progress, meeting the dynamic requirements of the constantly evolving telecommunications sector. Both entities express assurance that this collaboration will not only strengthen the Indian Air Force's capabilities but also make significant contributions to the broader technological landscape of the nation.
