Defence Research and Development Organisation

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is India's premier agency responsible for the design, development, and production of advanced defense technologies. Recently, DRDO has become newsworthy due to its pivotal role in India's push for military self-sufficiency. A significant development is the new policy allowing the private sector to produce advanced weaponry, a move supported by DRDO's technological advancements. This collaboration aims to bolster India's defense manufacturing capabilities. Furthermore, DRDO has achieved a milestone with the successful test of its Kusha long-range surface-to-air missile system. This development is crucial for enhancing India's home-grown air defense network and is expected to be a key component of strategic missions like Mission Sudarshan Chakra. The DRDO's ongoing efforts are vital for India's strategic autonomy and its preparedness for future conflicts.
