About
TECH-DEMO FLOWN; defence traction on drone SAR
Overview
TECH-DEMO FLOWN; defence traction on drone SAR
Technology
Products — Varuna — SAR CubeSat in-orbit demonstrator (flown)
Products — Varuna 2.0 — first commercial SAR + AIS (VDES-enabled) satellite
Products — MATSYA — maritime analytics platform
Products — Vidura — drone-mounted foliage-penetrating SAR
Constellation: 32 satellites, ~30-minute global ocean revisit, targeted complete by 2028
Vidura: P, L and X-band configurations, wide-swath, drone-agnostic across UAV platforms — deliberately not tied to a single manufacturer
Funding
Total raised: $8 million (seed + extension)
Stage: Series A in progress mid-2026
Investors — Sustainable Ocean Alliance
Investors — CE-Ventures (Crescent Enterprises)
Investors — IDFC Parampara
