DRDO urges Hyderabad scientists to fast-track missile inductions

DRDO Chairman Dr Samir V Kamat on Saturday urged the scientists at Missile Complex in Hyderabad to work towards quick induction of weapon systems, which were undergoing user trials.

Dr Kamat emphasised that Missile Complex should concentrate on the development of more agile, stealthier, and faster missiles, such as hypersonic missiles, to counter threats from advanced air defence systems.

The DRDL organised a one-day workshop on weapons



systems, including Akash air defence, BrahMos, MRSAM and ULPGM developed at the Missile Complex that played a stellar role in Operation Sindoor, at DRDL here on Saturday.

The workshop, which had an exhibition displaying sub-systems of the various weapons used in Operation Sindoor, deliberated on the performance of these indigenous systems. It also discussed the ways and means to further enhance the system’s capabilities so that they remain unbeatable.
