LAT Aerospace has acquired Sharang Shakti, an early-stage defence robotics startup based in Gurugram. This marks the company's first step into the defence sector, aiming to build indigenous capabilities alongside developing next-generation civil aviation platforms.

Deepinder Goyal, co-founder of LAT Aerospace, highlighted the shared core technology between civil aviation and defence, focusing on autonomy, perception, sensing, navigation, guidance, and control systems. The integration of Sharang Shakti will allow LAT to develop these capabilities in-house for deployment across both sectors over time. LAT Aerospace, founded in June 2025, is also working on establishing a regional aviation network and has begun developing Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) aircraft.
