DRDO Establishing Four New Facilities
Indias Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) plans to establish four new state-of-the-art facilities in and near Hyderabad.
DRDO chief, V.K. Saraswat, told Aviation Week during the Aviation Conclave 2010 here that the facilities will further Hyderbads mission to become an Indian aerospace hub. DRDO will provide more than Rs 1,000 crore ($220.1 million) for all the projects over the next five years, Saraswat says.
A facility called O-Range (open range) will be set up in Dundigal outside Hyderabad. It will measure the radio frequency and radar cross-section of small, medium and large missiles, as well as aircraft and electronic warfare systems. All the equipment is in place for this facility, which will become operational in 2011.
A hypersonic wind tunnel will be established at Hyderabads Missile Complex. The facility will be provided with Rs 300-400 crore to test various parameters of the Hypersonic Technology Development Vehicle (HSTDV), including engine performance.
It is pivotal to test the [HSTDV] in the range of up to Mach 12. This will be a unique installation in India, Saraswat says.
The remaining two installations in Hyderabad will be a material characterization facility to test the strength and features of high-temperature materials, and a production facility that will focus on systems and subsystems.
Avinash Chander, director of DRDOs Advanced Systems Laboratory, says DRDO is committed to helping Indias multi-pronged missile programs meet ever-increasing challenges and demands.
We are holding hands with industry to make these facilities world class, Avinash says.
