Wipro aligns efforts on aerospace target

Delhi: Indian outsourcing company Wipro Ltd. is attempting to fly a handful of design efforts and partnerships into formation to make an assault on the rapidly growing aerospace market in India and around the region.
Wipro has partnered with Lockheed Martin to create demonstration centers in Delhi and the U.K. showing new capabilities for linking multiple control centers, aircraft and vehicles. Wipro hopes to accelerate its understanding of aerospace by working with Lockheed Martin while the US company gains greater access to the India market. In the Delhi center, Wipro is showing applications running across two F-16 flight simulators and a number of kiosk control stations on a local area network.
Separately, Wipro has partnered with Boeing, India aerospace giant HCL and a university in Bangalore to create a virtual research center. It will explore the concept of a single-unified network for civil aircraft than can flexibly and securely handle the work of separate pilot, crew, entertainment and operations networks on a plane.
In another initiative, Wipro is working with BA Systems to explore opportunities in flight control systems. The company is also trying to apply its experience developing computer games to building commercial simulators. Finally, the company is researching the possibility of creating new designs for smart landing gears and brakes as an extension of the company's existing work in hydraulics.
