RCI getting ready to patent its technology - Times Of India
Research Centre Imarat (RCI) is all set to go for patenting of its products and technologies, its director G Satheesh Reddy said during the organization's silver jubilee celebrations.
Reddy claimed that a 100% successful test flight of Nag, a gen-3 anti-tank guided missile, would be achieved in 2014. The missile has recently been equipped with 'high resolution' seekers developed by RCI, the guided missile technology laboratory of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), and gave a 'fairly accurate' performance in the evaluation trials.
Dr V G Sekaran, chief controller R&D (missiles & strategic systems) and programme director, Agni, cheered the indigenous design and development of missiles and related systems by DRDO. RCI is working full throttle to deliver medium range surface-to-air missiles, smart bombs, precision-guided munition and highly miniaturized avionics on a single module to the forces very soon.
Former President A P J Abdul Kalam, who conceptualized RCI, said that DRDO has to develop technologies that would cater to the requirements of the forces in the next 25-50 years. He stressed upon fusion and mutually benefiting collaboration of IT, bioinformatics, nanotechnology and eco-technology. "Knowledge, not the natural resources, would decide the leaders...DRDO has transformed competitors to customers," said the former President, adding that electronic and virtual warfare are the future of warfare, which would be contactless and robotic. He urged DRDO to make the armed forces self-reliant.
Andhra Pradesh governor ESL Narasimhan asked DRDO to share technologies developed for defence such as those concerning cyber security with the civilian population instead of limiting these to the defence domain.
Avinash Chander, the scientific adviser to the defence minister and secretary, department of defence research and development, put out a list of "to accomplish" missions for RCI, including loitering weapons (80% explosives and 20% avionics), smart bombs and directed energy weapons., avionics on a single module, high energy batteries and IR seekers, e-bombs and an operational ballistic missile defence, medium range surface to air missiles (that are being developed with Israel) for the Indian Air Force, drone arsenal and long range guided bombs.
Box: Located in a lush green campus named as "Vignyana Kancha", RCI is entrusted with R&D in the areas of Control Engineering, Inertial Navigation, Imaging Infrared seekers, RF Seekers, on-board computers, flight Simulation, Mission Software, Power Supply Systems and Flight Instrumentation along with establishment of key infrastructure facilities such as Environmental test facility and EMI/EMC test facility. Its core competencies are Design, development and limited production of Ring Laser gyro, Fiber Optic Gyro, new generation accelerometers, MEMS based sensors, High performance Electro-Hydraulic Servo Valve, System on Chip, Advanced Seekers, Electromechanical Controls, RLG based INS, MEMS based INS, Fiber Optic Gyroscope based miniaturized INS, FOG based Sensor units and Secured Data Links. RCI is an ISO & AS 9100 lab meeting the requirements of international quality standards.
