Emerging industrial opportunities · 3
  • Counter Uas S06S07
    Layered low-cost detection, RF sensing, EO/IR, command-and-control and effectors are expanding as a recurring procurement need.
  • Armour S06
    Active protection systems for tanks have entered a formal Army acquisition signal, creating a domestic subsystem opportunity.
  • Ammunition S05S07S08
    Positive indigenisation and Army procurement create recurring localisation opportunities in ammunition, components and spares.
One graph, not three directories. Every system, company and programme is a node in a single relationship-driven database — a supplier that serves the Army, Navy and Air Force appears once and is reached from each. Facts carry their primary source; draft policy (e.g. DAP 2026) is labelled as draft, not law. Methodology
