Collins Aerospace invests $25 million for testing lab in Bengaluru
Collins Aerospace, an RTX group company, has invested $25 million for a new engineering development and test centre in Bengaluru, its largest facility outside the US.
“The 50,000 sq ft lab facility streamlines product development, testing, and certification of components locally … It is also a fresh investment beyond the $200 million we have committed over the last 4-5 years,” said Savyasachi Srinivas, vice president of global engineering & technology centres at Collins Aerospace.
The US-based company also has a 30,000-sq-ft electronics lab dedicated to testing. “In all there would be four labs, including in Hyderabad and Bengaluru, which also houses two factories,” Srinivas told ET.
Collins Aerospace, which established its engineering footprint in India in 2017, said the new facility includes comprehensive testing equipment to ensure aerospace systems meet the highest global safety and performance standards. These tests simulate harsh aircraft operating conditions and address potential issues including extreme temperatures, high altitudes, vibration, and electromagnetic interference.
“By conducting these tests locally, Collins can more quickly identify adjustments earlier in the development process, improving product design while reducing both time and cost,” the company said in a news release.
