DRDO slippages are they frustrating Modernisation of the Armed Forces?

The following steps have been taken to strengthen the organisation:
  • Consortium approach has been used for design, development and fabrication of critical components.
  • Three-tier project monitoring approach is being followed in the major projects / programmes.
  • Project Monitoring Review Committee (PMRC); and Project Appraisal and Review Committee (PARC) meetings are held regularly to monitor the progress of the ongoing projects.
  • Concurrent engineering approach has been adopted in technology intensive projects to minimize time-lag between development and productionisation of the systems, and Information Technology and modern management techniques have been applied.
  • Participation of Services in all major programmes right from the beginning of the projects, etc.
  • Large number of R&D projects and research initiatives taken up with nearly 100 academic and other scientific establishments.

    There are also international collaboration to fortify DRDO’s strength.
