Poisoned For Developing Indegenous Radar System, Alleges ISRO Scientist
Scientist Tapan Misra expressed suspicion that people who were afraid of losing orders from the Indian government might have been involved in the attack on him.
A day after claiming that he was poisoned with arsenic over three years ago, top Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientist Tapan Misra today alleged he was attacked over his contributions to the development of indigenous radar imaging satellites.
Talking to reporters at his residence in Ahmedabad, Mr Misra expressed suspicion that people who were afraid of losing orders from the Indian government might have been involved in the attack on him.
On Tuesday, Tapan Misra had claimed that he was poisoned with deadly arsenic trioxide on May 23, 2017, during a promotion interview at the ISRO headquarters in Bengaluru.
"My contribution was in developing radar imaging satellites - RISAT, considered a very high-grade technology. We can watch the earth's surface in any situation, be it day or night, using this system.
"This radar system is 10 times costlier (than the indigenous one) if we buy it (from others)," Mr Misra said.
"This system is useful for the military because of its ability to capture images despite clouds and dust. So, if we develop such a system in our own country, it's obvious that others (who are selling it to India) will lose their business," he said when asked about the reason behind the attack.
Tapan Misra is presently working as Senior Advisor at the ISRO and is superannuating at the end of this month.
He had earlier served as Director of Ahmedabad-based Space Application Centre of ISRO.

Tatas have acquired the IP for the German Grob G180 SPn military aircraft which they plan to build in India. Tatas plan to offer it to the IAF as signals intelligence aircraft.
In a first, Tatas to build military aircraft in India as it acquires IP rights

First look at the anti-ship Naval NASM-SR missile being developed in India by DRDO. Might even be integrated with the fleet of MH-60R Romeo ASuW and ASW helicopters that IN is acquiring.

Another successful test for the VL-SRSAM, this time from an Indian Navy ship, taking down an aerial target drone successfully.
VL- Vertically launched
SRSAM- Short Range SAM
The VL-SRSAM is derived from the Astra Mk1 BVRAAM and is now much closer to induction into the Indian Navy. It uses an indigenously developed RF-seeker, as does the Astra Mk1 BVRAAM.
DRDO and IN successfully test ship borne VL-SRSAM
