Responding to the clarion call given by Prime Minister for “Atmanirbhar Bharat”, the Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) has taken several initiatives to strengthen the indigenous defence ecosystem.
Towards this, A DRDO delegation met with Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh on Monday to apprise him about 108 systems and subsystems which have been identified for designing and development by the Indian Industry only.
This initiative will pave the way for Indian Defence industry to develop many technologies towards building an AtmaNirbhar Bharat.
DRDO will also provide support to industries for design, development and testing of these systems on requirement basis.
All the requirements of these systems by R&D establishments, Armed Forces, and other Security Agencies can be met through development contracts or production orders on suitable Indian industry.
This will allow DRDO to focus on design & development of critical and advanced technologies and systems.
