Systems Engineering Division

SYSTEMS ENGINEERING DIVISION

The mandate of Systems Engineering Division (SYD) in CSIR-NAL, is to play a lead role in the Project Lifecycle Management of an Aircraft Programme; initiated by developing technological roadmaps, capturing requirements, traceability, project scheduling, risk analysis and management. It also involves  synthesis of multi-disciplinary activities in the conceptual design stage and multi-disciplinary optimization followed by customer requirements validation using Virtual Reality, Reliability, Availability and Maintainability.

Current Programmes

SYD is currently involved in the activities related to 19-seater light transport aircraft (SARAS- Mk2),  the all composite Hansa-3 (NG), a 2-seater ab initio trainer for pilot training in flying clubs, proposed 90 seater Regional Transport Aircraft (RTA-90) and Electric aircraft.
