Taiyo Aerospace is building a man-portable, jet-powered, AI-piloted strike platform — designed and manufactured in India to close the sensor-to-shooter gap in under sixty seconds.
Modern conflict moves in minutes. India's frontline units deserve indigenous aerial combat systems — not legacy imports retrofitted for a battlespace they were never designed for.
Taiyo Aerospace was founded in 2024 to develop sovereign aerospace capabilities for India. Our first product, Vritra, is a jet-powered, AI-piloted, man-portable platform built from the ground up for tactical response and time-sensitive strike. We design our airframes, write our flight code, and intend to build our own engines.
Too slow and easily detected by radar. Can observe but cannot engage — forced to wait for fire support.
MALE/HALE platforms are high-value assets. Cannot be risked at low altitude and rarely available on demand.
Too expensive for hunting small, fleeting targets. In denied airspace or remote terrain, arrival can take over thirty minutes.
A man-portable, jet-powered kill chain. Two ruggedized cases fit in an SUV. Ten minutes from case-open to launch. Onboard AI compresses target acquisition, decision, and engagement into a single autonomous loop — even when comms are denied.
Two miniaturised loitering munitions or laser-guided rockets on internal hardpoints. Optimised for hard targets — armour, artillery, transporter-erector launchers.
Specialised, dampened mount for a 7.62mm gun pod. Highly cost-effective for counter-insurgency operations with multiple re-engagement passes.
Additional fuel bladders for extended endurance. Enhanced ELINT/SIGINT sensors for long-duration intelligence gathering and persistent overwatch.
Case-open to ready-to-launch by a 2-person crew.
Click-lock joints with screw-lock MIL connectors.
Standard Jet-A1 or military-grade diesel.
Hot-pit refuel for high-tempo surge operations.
We designed, built, and flew a 70% scale prototype to validate our aerodynamic design. Yaw response, climb performance, pitch authority, and surface drag all met or exceeded targets.
The full-scale carbon-fibre monocoque airframe is now in manufacturing. JetCat P-250 procurement is underway. Overmier AI integration is planned for the production airframe upon completion.
Prototype validation of airframe, avionics, and AI systems at reduced speed. Low-risk flight envelope exploration.
COTS micro-turbojet integration. ~25 kg thrust. Full 450 km/h dash capability. Multi-fuel (Jet-A / diesel).
Indian-developed and manufactured engine for strategic independence, optimised thrust, and supply-chain sovereignty.
We built our initial capabilities through the SUAS Competition, delivering mission-specific drones under tight timelines. We bootstrapped both the 70% scale and full production prototypes — covering all design, fabrication, and testing costs independently.
Previously at Ati Motors working on new product initiatives and rapid prototyping. Focused on airframe design, manufacturing, and program execution at Taiyo.
Experience at Seasats building autonomous maritime platforms. Leads autonomy, flight controls, and the Overmier AI stack at Taiyo.
We're a small, technical, founder-led team. We move fast, build with our hands, and ship hardware. No bureaucracy, no defense-PSU pace.
