Light Logistics wins IIGP gold medal
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Technopark-based Light Logics has won the gold medal at the ‘India innovation growth programme’ (IIGP) for its ‘Next-generation holographic weapon sight’.
“The Light Logics hologram, when illuminated with a laser beam, produces a distant virtual image of a ‘tiny spot covered by a circle’. The soldier who looks through the sight fixed on the gun can easily aim the target this way. They will have a clear natural eyeglass view, which will help in easily tracking, aiming and firing the weapon, inflicting maximum assault on the enemy in the minimum possible time,’’ said Light Logics CEO P.T. Ajith Kumar.
Minister of Science and Technology Prithviraj Chauhan handed over the award to Ajith Kumar at a function in New Delhi on May 20. The company is a holography technology firm and supplier of core holography machines.
The IIGP is a joint project of the Department of Science and Technology and Lockheed Martin USA to enhance the growth and development of India’s entrepreneurial economy. Light Logics won the award for its innovative invention which, Ajith Kumar said, will be an aid to the armed forces and military in sharp shooting in a ‘tactical engagement area’. Technopark CEO Mervin Alexander also congratulated Light Logics for its achievement, saying that this is a “defining moment in the history of Kerala IT”.
