Delhi to get missile defence ring next year | Deccan Chronicle

Hyderabad: The ballistic missile defence system (BMD), being developed by the DRDO will be deployed in Delhi by next year-end, according to Dr Avinash Chander, the new chief of DRDO and scientific adviser to the defence minister.Other major cities will get the defence system in phases, Dr Chander said.

He was speaking to this newspaper on his maiden visit to the city after taking over as DRDO chief. Dr Chander said the BMD is a two-tier system consisting of two interceptor missiles for both high- and low- altitude interception. Dr Chander said the Light Combat Aircraft will go for initial operational clearance-2 by September 2013 and for final operational clearance by the end of the next year.

Speaking about forthcoming projects, Dr Chander said the indigenous Airborne Early Warning and Control System, with integration and completion of flight trials on three aircraft, will be ready for induction by next year. Induction of missiles developed with MBDA is on the cards and would be achieved within given deadlines, he said.

While the new defence procurement policy aims at promoting indigenisation while providing opportunity to Indian industry for participating in defence production, the DRDO’s aim is to reach for 75 per cent self reliance, he noted.

So far as BMD is concern, AAD is ready but PAD is planned to be replaced with PDV. We are waiting for test for last few times but this jokers go on extending the deadline by 2 month each time. Last time it was to be happened in May 2013. than the extended to July. Now we do not know when will it happen?

I do not know why they are unable to comply with dead line each and every time? They know that they can not comply than why do they announce?

Silly article.

Implying the Delhi & other similar locations does not already have missile defense cover.

In any case who is the DRDO Chief to yap about deployment ? He should focus on making things that stay in the air & do not come down unless so wanted.

May be they are waiting for new test range.
