News, updates, and insights from Thakur Systems & Structures
GTRE has closed its Expression of Interest for a development-cum-production partner for India's indigenous 120 kN high-thrust turbofan engine — the powerplant that will drive the AMCA fifth-generation fighter. Up to 200 engines, 2,500 components, and a decade-long program that could end India's dependence on foreign fighter engines.
Thakur Systems & Structures and EKAION may be joining forces to co-sponsor NAZAR — a landmark event at the intersection of technology, defense, and innovation.
March 2026 is shaping up to be one of NASA's most consequential months in recent memory. The Artemis II Moon rocket rolled back to Launch Pad 39B, the X-59 quiet supersonic jet completed its second flight, and new research suggests Martian organic compounds may not have non-biological origins.
The US Navy just awarded Gecko Robotics a $71 million contract to deploy AI-powered wall-climbing robots across 18 Pacific Fleet warships. These robots can identify repairs 50x faster than manual inspection. Here's what it means for the future of military maintenance.
SpaceX crossed the 10,000 active Starlink satellite threshold on March 16, 2026 — while simultaneously preparing the Raptor 3 engine for its first flight on the next-generation Starship. Here's why both milestones matter, and what's coming next.
India's infrastructure is transforming at an unprecedented scale. With over ₹111 lakh crore committed and a defense sector set to double by 2030, the question isn't whether to build — it's whether we're building for the next century.
In one of the most consequential standoffs between a tech company and the US military, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei refused to remove safety restrictions on Claude's military use — even as the Pentagon threatened to cancel a $200 million contract and designate the company a national security risk.
Several converging trends — EU policy changes, Ukraine's frontline innovations, and surging European venture capital — are challenging America's decades-long dominance in defense technology. Patrick Tucker's analysis in Defense One breaks down what's driving the shift.
OpenAI officially rolled out advertising in ChatGPT on February 9, 2026. The same week, Anthropic ran a Super Bowl ad declaring Claude will remain ad-free. Two fundamentally different visions for the future of AI — and one of them will shape how a billion people interact with technology.
From predictive failure analysis to generative design, artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing how we conceive, build, and maintain structures. Here's what's happening — and what's next.
As India's defense sector races toward $150 billion by 2030, the infrastructure supporting it must evolve. Blast-resistant design, underground installations, and hardened communication networks are no longer optional.
From 3D-printed buildings to self-healing concrete, these five technologies are set to transform how India builds — and TSS is watching all of them closely.
India sits on some of the most seismically active zones on Earth. Understanding what makes a building survive an earthquake isn't just academic — it's a matter of life and death.
Every company starts with a question. Ours was simple: what if India's infrastructure was as ambitious as its aspirations? This is how TSS began.
