From indigenous micro turbojet engines to high-performance kamikaze drones, the company's showcase reflected its expanding global footprint and deep commitment to India's defense self-reliance. Global Growth Through Strategic Acquisitions Solidifying its position as a global aerospace player, Raghu Vamsi recently acquired WMT Precision LLC, a 40-year-old aerospace manufacturing company based in Syracuse, USA, renowned for producing fuel nozzles for Collins, Parker, and Honeywell. This acquisition enhances Raghu Vamsi's capabilities in critical aero engine components and provides a strong foothold in the North American market. Earlier this year, the group also acquired PMC Group (UK), marking its entry into the Oil & Gas sector, specializing in high-performance nickel alloy components for Surface, Drilling, Sub-Sea, Wireline operations--broadening its advanced engineering portfolio beyond aerospace and defense.

"This engine represents a historic leap for Indian aerospace propulsion. It's the culmination of years of R & D, manufacturing precision, and a bold vision for self-reliant defense technologies," said Vamsi Vikas, Managing Director, Raghu Vamsi Aerospace Group.

With a range of 200 km and speeds of up to 450 km/h, the UAV completed successful test trials earlier this year. Powered entirely by indigenous systems--including flight control, propulsion, and telemetry--the Astra 100 sets a new benchmark for autonomous combat UAVs in India. "We are building the future of autonomous warfare with 100% indigenous systems. The Astra 100 proves India's readiness to lead in this space," added Vikas.
