Our Engineering Approach

Empowering Customized COTS Embedded Solutions for Mission-Critical Applications

Cornet Technology India designs, develops, and supports high-performance embedded computing systems tailored for defense, aerospace, and industrial use cases. With decades of experience and a proven track record in the Indian defense ecosystem, we deliver customizable, ruggedized solutions that meet demanding operational requirements and accelerate deployment timelines.

Our engineering excellence spans the full product lifecycle—from requirement analysis to obsolescence management – under one roof. Every product is developed and tested in India, in line with the “Make in India” initiative and with support for global OEMs looking to localize.

  1. Requirement Analysis :

    Collaborative understanding of customer needs across defense, aerospace, and critical infrastructure sectors
    We engage closely with DRDOs, DPSUs, and private system integrators to define precise operational and environmental requirements.

  2. Architecture Proposal :
    From Commercial Off-The-Shelf to Modified COTS (MCOTS) and fully custom solutions
    Based on user needs, we offer scalable configurations -whether from existing SBCs, VPX/VME/PMC modules, or entirely new system-level designs.
  3. Hardware and Software Design :In-house expertise in embedded board design, FPGA development, and BSP/driver engineering
    Our cross-functional teams work in sync to deliver designs with optimized thermal, signal integrity, and power management profiles – using industry best practices.
  4. Modular Building Blocks :Comprehensive product portfolio: SBCs, mission computers, ATRs, network switches, I/O cards, DAQ systems, and display consoles
    With support for Intel/AMD/Xilinx architectures, we enable flexible configuration of subsystems across platforms.
  1. Prototyping and Qualification :

    Accelerated prototyping and MIL-STD environmental qualification support
    We provide early hardware access, design validation testing, and support for platform integration—reducing time-to-deployment for integrators.

  2. Customer Support :

    Dedicated engineering and field teams ensure seamless integration and deployment
    From schematic reviews to firmware updates, our responsive support model empowers success in lab and field environments.

  3. Lifecycle & obsolescence management :

    Long-term availability planning and obsolescence support tailored to defense timelines
    We track component supply chains, provide alternates, and support mid-life upgrades, ensuring readiness across long project cycles.

Resources to manufacture quality state-of-the-art COTS and custom products

  • Sourcing Excellence
    All components and PCBs are sourced from vetted, approved vendors in alignment with detailed Bill of Materials (BoM), ensuring quality, traceability, and long-term availability.
  • High-Reliability Assembly
    Our embedded boards are assembled following robust internal procedures aligned with IPC-A-610 Class 3 workmanship standards, suited for mission-critical and defense-grade electronics.
  • Inline Process Control
    Each stage of the manufacturing lifecycle is subject to rigorous inspection, including automated optical checks and manual quality gates to maintain production consistency.
  • Functional Validation
    Every board undergoes thorough functional testing using validated test jigs and procedures tailored to customer requirements and product configurations.
  • Environmental Screening & Final Integration
    Upon conformal coating and mechanical assembly, boards may be subjected to environmental stress screening (ESS) such as thermal cycling and vibration tests as per MIL standards and project-grade specifications – available on request.
