Components and sub-systems for Radars were always a focus area for the company and the first few components that were built by Astra found their way into sub-systems of Radars developed by DRDO.
Good orders from Telecom combined with fact that potential opportunities were already being generated in the defense area meant that there was an immediate need for Astra to invest in infrastructure, people and test facilities. This was the reason the company went public quite early. Astra Microwave was listed in the stock exchange in India in 1995.
Astra Microwave started working in the complex field of EW in the year 2000. From a nominal start, Astra Microwave today has grown to be one of the important partners for DRDO, having supplied many critical and wide band products for EW application, especially in the Naval domain.
In 2005, Astra Microwave decided to have a fabless design team in-house in order to design and develop critical MMIC’s for getting advantages of cost, design flexibility to help miniaturize modules and the ability to control production requirements of critical devices in house.
Astra Microwave became one of the first beneficiaries of an offset contract having bagged the contract to manufacture receiver side modules in the year 2009 for radar application. The first products under this contract were delivered to the customer in 2010.
With an objective to be closer to its customers and to help them with higher level hardware integration, Astra Microwave developed its latest facility in Bengaluru
