Conceptualise for the Future
Build Indian solutions for foreseeable combat realities.
Warfare is undergoing a Revolution in Military Affairs. This is characterised by emergence of new technology, a change in war-fighting-methodology and organisational structure of defence forces. Armed forces across the world are gripped in this cycle, moving away from legacy systems and platforms and reconfiguring themselves conceptually, doctrinally and structurally. We are at the commencement of this cycle which lasts for 10-15 years until maturity. The technology developed now, and the applications it enables will define the next 50 years.
Innovation & Concept
Subsystem R&D
Rigorous Testing
Acquisition Framework
Strategic Partnership
Novastra’s structured development cycle is aligned with India's Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP 2026) — from iDEX/DRISHTI innovation to Make/Design & Development, trials, Low‑Cost Capital Acquisition, and Strategic Partnerships, we focus on IDDM (Indigenous Design Development and Manufacturing). Our engineering excellence is democratized — contributors co-own the technologies they help create.
Build Indian solutions for foreseeable combat realities.
New Technologies, Disruptive Applications, Rapid Experiments, Wargaming and Testbed.
Develop in India, indigenous raw materials and supply chains.
IP as a strategic asset, retained in India.
Develop a device that generates universal numerical codes (32-40 digits) with 4-5 frames independently calculated with dynamic calculation algorithms changing every 2 minutes further encrypted with a 256bit encryption. The device should be able to receive and process numerical codes from other devices and transmit authenticated codes using frequency hop and spread spectrum methodology.
Create database and ML algorithms to recognise the following: Artillery Gun Positions, Tanks, Air Defence Guns, Air Defence Radars, BLTs, Ammunition Depots, Fighter base hangars, aircrafts (J-10, J-17, J-35, F-16, AEW&C, C-130, IL-78, Y-20, Y-8/Y-9, Huey Cobra, Z-9/10/19/20 etc).
Build a frugal solution that enhances survivability of drones/UAVs autonomously without need for external inputs.
Indigenized solution for an underwater acoustic listening and analysis device able record, analyse and identify acoustic signatures of all seafaring surface and underwater mechanical devices.
Develop reusable orbit correction vehicle for to be positioned in space to correct the orbits of LEO, MEO, Polar Orbit and Geostationary satellites. These vehicles should be able to manoeuvre in space, attach orbit correction propulsion devices to the satellites and align direction of thrust. The propulsion modules should disengage automatically after reaching the correct altitude.
Build low-level drone identification and targeting solution.
Develop fire-and-forget anti-personnel fragmentation drones.
Develop a solution/device able it to identify its own geographic location instantaneously in all dimensions independent of global-position-system (GPS) accurate to within 0.5 metres. An initial input of coordinates is allowed. All calculations for location identification should be internal, without assistance from external sources. The device should be compact and not weigh more than 500 gms (0.5KGs), with a scope of scaling down further.
Develop an indigenized solution for a tamper resistant and jam proof over the horizon communication that can be universally capable of Theoretical concept for a jam proof and tamper proof communication capable of 1 Gbps datalink aircraft-aircraft and aircraft-ground.
Develop a solution for wireless data communication underwater without compromising location of transmitter.
Our Democratised Model makes innovation collaborative and accountable. Contributions are quantified through documented deliverables (design artefacts, test reports, prototype modules, market validation, capital provided, and sales/commercialisation outcomes).
Share your expertise towards active engineering projects and challenges. Submit Your Solution — Describe your approach & how you'd contribute. You'll be matched with teams, contribute to a specific subsystem or capability, and co-own the resulting intellectual property.
Novastra's advisory practice is not a closed consulting firm — it is a democratized ecosystem of verified experts, experienced operators, and institutional partners. There are two primary pathways to engage.
Novastra invites manufacturers and incubators to join our advisory-led development ecosystem as incubation or manufacturing partners. You gain access to strategic intelligence, market validation, and a structured pathway from prototype to procurement. In return, you co-own the capabilities we build together.
Novastra invites experienced defence, aerospace, and technology professionals to join our consulting network. We conduct a rigorous capability and competency assessment to ensure every advisor on our platform represents Novastra's standard of insight and integrity.
Whether you're an engineer with a breakthrough idea, a startup ready to scale, an SME, an OEM, or an investor seeking defense-tech returns.
