Strategic Product Focus Areas

SLN continues to invest in indigenous technologies across:

  • Cockpit Voice & Flight Data Recorders (CVFDR)

  • Antenna Control Systems (ACS)

  • Solid State Digital Video Recorders (SSDVR)

  • Health & Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS)

Leadership in Flight Data Recorders

SLN has successfully designed, developed, qualified, and flight-approved the SSFDR for Su-30 MKI, covering the complete journey from interface definition to certification. The system reliably samples aircraft sensors and cockpit voice data for post-flight analysis and crash investigation. This program established SLN as one of India’s leading indigenous manufacturers of Flight Data Recorders.

Building on this expertise, SLN developed the CVFDR for the Light Utility Helicopter (LUH)—a compact, low-power solution optimized for rotary-wing constraints. Today, SLN is capable of supplying CVFDR solutions for both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft.

Automated Test Equipment (ATE) Excellence

SLN’s deep understanding of embedded systems enables the design of robust, accurate, and scalable ATE solutions for systems, sub-systems, and electronic modules. Our ATE portfolio includes:

  • NI PXI-based systems with LabVIEW software

  • Rugged and Compact ATEs using open bus architectures such as PCI, cPCI, and VME

Antenna Control Systems (ACS) Leadership

SLN is a leading indigenous developer of Antenna Control Systems for Radar and SATCOM applications. We have developed and deployed seven variants of radar ACS, operating reliably across diverse environmental conditions. Our ACS solutions include:

  • Single-axis and Two-axis systems for deployment and stabilization

  • Three-axis SATCOM systems (Azimuth, Elevation, Polarization)

  • Pointing & Tracking systems with step-track algorithms and closed-loop control laws

Our Commitment

SLN stands among India’s elite Electronic Systems Design and Manufacturing companies, delivering state-of-the-art indigenous solutions comparable with leading global OEMs. With continuous investment in engineering talent, infrastructure, and R&D, SLN remains committed to advancing high-reliability embedded systems for mission-critical aerospace and defence applications, strengthening India’s technological sovereignty.
