Mumbai: Wipro Limited has roped in Lockheed Martin, the world's largest defence contractor and top technology provider for the US government, to launch a network centric operations centre in Gurgaon, Haryana.

Known as Ambar Jyoti, this lab will develop, demonstrate and experiment with emerging network-enabled capabilities and applications. Wipro and Lockheed Martin have committed to building this modeling and simulation experimental lab in India, the companies said in statement.

The centre will leverage Wipro's embedded, telecom and enterprise expertise to create data centric solutions for the future. Lockheed Martin and Wipro Technologies will utilise cutting-edge technologies and real environment emulation to develop net-enabled capabilities and solutions to employ against current, real-world problems.

Ambar Jyoti provides an opportunity for indigenous development and experimentation to identify future capabilities and requirements in network-centric operations for potential civil and military applications.

"We are honored and pleased to be able to provide this capability in India," said Rick Kirkland, president South Asia, LMGI. "Through this lab, together we will explore the 'art of the possible' and prepare for network-centric operations of the future," he added.
