[angeldemon_007]

DRDO will launch over 70 products, which can be used for civilian purposes, in the four-day DefExpo-2012, besides showcasing its arsenal of indigenously developed arms and ammunition.

While some of its well known missile systems, UAVs and soldier support systems will be displayed as usual, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) will also launch products for civilian applications like swine flu and explosive detection kits.

"The Explosive Detection Kit, and Swine Flu diagnostic kit are among over 70 products and technologies developed for defence applications with potential civilian applications that have been identified for commercialisation by the DRDO," Defence Ministry officials said here today.

The seventh edition of DefExpo will be inaugurated here by Defence Minister A K Antony tomorrow.

These products have been developed under the Accelerated Technology Assessment Commercialisation (ATAC) program in which defence technology is used by the DRDO to develop products which can be useful for civilians.

The Explosive Detection Kit (EDK), developed by Pune- based High Energy Materials Research Laboratory, can quickly detect and identify even traces of explosives. The kit is ideally suited to be carried and used everywhere, they said.

The swine flu diagnostic kit has been developed by Gwalior-based Defence Research and Development Establishment, (DRDE) and it can detect H1N1 virus within 60 minutes.

"The kit does not need sophisticated instruments and can even be used in villages where electricity is not available," the officials said.

During the exhibition, DRDO will also provide a platform to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to identify areas for collaboration in jointly developing its technologies.

In the arms and ammunition section, the defence agency will exhibit Missile Interceptor Simulator and a 3D-Virtual Reality Theatre and a number of autonomous and unmanned vehicles.

Besides the Unmanned Tracked Ground Vehicle and Remotely Operated Vehicle, DRDO will also showcase UAVs Nishant, Rustom and Netra, and Light Weight Sensor Integrated Composite Bridge.

In the radar and electronic warfare systems category, it will bring out its Long Range Solid State Electronically Scanned Active Phased Array Radar LSTAR, Disha EW system and Scorpio Jammer.

Heavy weight torpedo Varunastra, Pinaka multi-barrel rocket system, Prahar tactical range ballistic missile system and Arjun main battle tank will also be some of the major attractions.

The indoor exhibits include models of various missiles and electronic systems such as Nag, Akash, BrahMos, Aerostat System, AEW&C System, BMP Survival Kit (BUSK).

SELEX Galileo: Global Leader in Sensors Working with Indian Industry to Deliver Unique Technology

SELEX Galileo, a Finmeccanica company, will attend DEFEXPO (29 March- 1 April 2012) to showcase its leading edge technologies in Electronic Warfare, Radar, Unmanned Aerial Systems and Electro-Optics.

With the recent establishment of SELEX Galileo India Private Limited, the company has expanded its footprint in India in order to further develop longstanding collaborations and relationships with Indian companies to become an effective and committed player in the market.

At DEFEXPO, SELEX Galileo will also be exhibiting a number of its unique technologies which support many of India’s emerging operational needs. With the company’s commitment to having Indian partner companies assemble, integrate and test its products in-India, SELEX Galileo can help meet India’s key aspiration to develop an effective and capable defence manufacturing sector.

“We’re working with Indian research organisations to insert leading-edge elements of our technologies into their products and with Indian manufacturers to help put them together.” said Fabrizio Giulianini, CEO of SELEX Galileo, adding; “By combining the advanced capabilities of Indian industry with our internationally recognised technologies we can continue to leapfrog the market and support the Indian armed forces with the very latest equipment.”

At the show, SELEX Galileo will be promoting its Electronic Warfare (EW) products such as the combat-proven HIDAS Defensive Aid Suite for helicopters, a system which includes our Aircraft Gateway Processor (AGP) which is now part of the standard fit on the Apache AH-64. As Europe’s leading supplier of EW equipment and ranking 3rd in the world, the company will also be highlighting its next-generation ELINT system, ‘SAGE’, which we believe is ideally suited to meeting the needs of India’s Rustom-2 MALE UAS. SELEX Galileo will also be promoting its SEER Radar Warning Receiver, which is designed to protect a wide variety of airborne platforms from enemy threats and is the perfect fit for India’s Hawk Advanced Jet Trainer.

etremely good job DRDO hope that our defence Industry will get completely autonomous within a decade.

 

[ptltejas]

BUSK is good one.

 

[Killswitch]

I think "might" is an overstatement.

DRDO has allot of work to do. Being able to meet military requirements, and actually deliver a fully functioning platform in a timely and cost effective manner would be a good start. I don't want to bash them too hard, but the DRDO has let down the military in the past. It needs to be reformed.

It would also help if products could be produced by the private sector and not just OFB most of the time. OFB is very inefficient and has obsolete facilities almost across the board.

 

[PRINCE_THE_SHOWSTOPPER]

go DRDO,make every one proud and a kick in the rear to all those fools criticising this highly talented andb technologically advanced organization(without realising the fund allocated to it by GOI,the corrupt officials hellbent on importing foreign systems as being exposed by the army chief).there should be no doubt about the talent & quality of the scientist which are better the the ones sitting inside the defence labs in USA and other NATO nations
