The COE which is the 1st of its kind in the country will provide the following services.
Research & Development
Advanced composites application developments
Advanced composites application developments will be made in house at ATIRA campus.
ATIRA was designated as a Centre of Excellence (COE) for Composites by the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, under the TMTT scheme in 2011. Our primary objective is to pioneer lightweight composite materials for diverse applications across sectors such as space, aviation, defense, construction, and energy, utilizing both specialty and natural fibers.
As a leading CoE in Composites, ATIRA aims to play a pivotal role in fostering India’s composite growth story. We support and mentor startups, entrepreneurs, MSMEs, and Corporates by providing a range of services, including:
- Research and Development
- Prototype Development
- Training
- Testing
Research & Development
ATIRA boasts a rich history of developing an array of products, including Reflectors, Antennas, Radomes, Insulation sheets, Portable Cabins, Prosthetics, and more. We have proudly collaborated with SAC-ISRO for over 7 years, contributing to esteemed space programs such as:
- GSAT 19
