General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) has formed a strategic partnership with 3rdiTech for the development of next-generation computer chips, integrated circuits, and other semiconductor technologies. 3rdiTech is an Indian Start-up Company and the partnership is being considered by the companies as a big boost to the “Make in India” initiative launched by the Indian Government. In the efforts of increasing technology cooperation between India and the U.S., the companies will now work to co-develop state-of-the-art products for the Indian and global markets.
“GA-ASI is delighted to announce a strategic partnership with 3rdiTech,” said Dr. Vivek Lall, Chief Executive, General Atomics Global Corporation. “Semiconductors are going to be the defining technology of this era. The team and capability being developed at 3rdiTech are representative of the new India under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership. GA-ASI will work with 3rdiTech, one of the inaugural winners of the Indian Ministry of Defence’s flagship iDEX Program, to transition this cutting-edge capability onto some of India’s platforms. General Atomics is committed to supporting Prime Minister Modi’s vision of an Atmanirbhar India, and partnerships like these are a big step in the right direction,” he further added.
