Aerospace and Defence

Aerospace industries are focusing on reverse, re-engineering engineering, VAVE, and should costing, to cut costs on every component. To reduce the cost, data is getting created in digital format.

Merritt is supporting one of the major aerospace companies in creating design data for various aerospace components like latches, springs, harnesses, hoses, connectors, gaskets, flashlight holders, vibration isolators, air outlets, disconnectors, multiple brackets, housing shafts, clamps, gears, hinges, shrouds, Etc.

Significant activities include a study of assemblies to capture design criterion, teardown of the assemblies, material analysis, 3D scanning, parametric modelling of the parts and assemblies, validation of the design against assembly and functional parameters, generating functional criterion, spring data using lab test parameters, Etc.

Merritt develops and supplies many defence products through its customers.

Recently Merritt developed portable outdoor pneumatic masts used in defence for deploying communication and surveillance devices, and two design variants to lift payloads of 50 kg and 100 kg. The individual mast can be carried by two army personnel and operated by low-pressure compressors or foot pumps. Product development includes benchmarking, deriving the optimal specifications modular calculations, detailed design, structural analysis for dead loads and wind loads, proto development and testing as per the JSS-55555 standard. Supplied to Indian defence and successfully deployed at strategic locations.
