The Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) was established in 1958 with the explicit purpose of dedicating itself to enhancing India's self-reliance in Defence Systems. It formulates and executes programs of scientific research, design, development, testing and evaluation of various systems, devices, products and military technologies (pertaining to aeronautics, armaments, combat vehicles, electronics, instrumentation, engineering systems, missiles, materials, naval systems, advanced computing, simulation and life sciences) required for defending the nation.
DRDO projects may be broadly classified as (a) Staff projects, (b) Technology Demonstration projects, and (c) Science and Technology projects. Such a classification enables DRDO to prioritize projects and allocate the work among the constituent laboratories. This 14-page document is an introduction to the DRDO, its projects and how they are managed.
1.3 DRDO’s TECHNOLOGICAL ACHIEVEMENTS
In more than fifty years of existence, DRDO has undertaken thousands of R&D projects, very large to small, with more than a hundred very large System Development projects having financial outlays of several billion Indian rupees. DRDO-developed systems have won production orders worth around Rs.40,000 crore. They cover a wide range: battle tanks, missiles, radars, electronic warfare systems, sonars, mini-submarines, unmanned aerial vehicles, explosives, propellants, armaments, bridge-laying tanks, heavy-duty parachutes, and defence technologies against nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) warfare.
All 52 DRDO labs are grouped under 8 major groups viz., Aeronautics, Armaments, Combat Vehicles & Engineering, Electronics & Computer Science, Life Science, Materials, Missiles and Naval Systems. A brief description of the achievements of each group follows.
1.3.1 Aeronautics Group of Laboratories
The Aeronautics group of laboratories designed and developed both manned and unmanned airborne vehicles, critical technologies and subsystems required for them. They have also contributed by providing appropriate support systems, carrying out simulation studies and developing simulators, assuring military airworthiness and certifying airborne systems(...]
