India second to none in battlefield technology research

[angeldemon_007]

India is second to none in research and development in battlefield technology, V.K.Aatre, former head, Defence Research and Development Organisation and Scientific Advisor to Defence Minister, said on Tuesday.

Mr.Aatre was delivering a talk on technologies of electronic warfare of India, in continuation of PROBE '12 national symposium on the theme: Defence Electronics, at the National Institute of Technology–Tiruchi (NIT-T).

IMPACT ON SOCIETY

Explaining how technology impacts society to a great extent, he compared ancient and recent war techniques. Mr.Aatre dwelt on the role of unmanned aerial vehicles in defence arena, digital techniques in war field, information technology applications, importance of radar, weapon technology, communication jamming, software defined radio, and antenna types with real-time examples.

Mr.Aatre, the brain behind MEMS (Micro Electronics Mechanical System) lab in SCL (Semiconductor limited), Chandigarh, explained how technology was multidimensional, and advised engineering students to dutifully aspire for core engineering jobs. IT must be applied for enhancement of practical hardware technology, he emphasised.

Mr.Aatre, a Padma Bhusan awardee, released ‘Electro Buzz' the first newsletter brought out by the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, in the presence of NIT-T Director S.Sundarrajan and S.Raghavan, Professor, ECE Department.

Mr Sundarrajan spoke of Mr.Aatre's role in areas such as MEMS and underwater acoustics while Prof. Raghavan thanked Mr.Aatre for his instrumental role in getting the biggest MEMS fabrication lab in SITAR (Society of Integrated Circuit Technology and Application Research) commissioned in two months time.

Dear, sorry to say, but in neutral eyes, India is no where near 1st in military tech...

read it carefully it said second to none not 1st. both seem same for a primary failed like u but actually have a very different meaning.

Common this second to none is used too loosely by Indians, better way of saying would be we are progressing.

Moron, the phrase "second to none" means you're in first place, doesn't mean your in second because your not second to anyone.

This article and source is laughable bs, India is number one not in battlefield technology research but US is, India is number in poverty and disease that is about it. Have a nice day.

nop since u couldnt engage ur brain to find out the meaning of second to none. lemme tell u. second to none means that we r not less than to top companies in battlefield rearch and production. 4d aesa radar arudra, awacs and high tech avionics systems for tejas are a few examples. by that he meant that when ever govt asks we can build anything that the us or isreal has developed.
we all know us is surely no 1 in this tech.

it just means that we r progressed enough and come far enough to match them head to head.

Dear, "second to none" means 1st place. I can easily see how you misconcepted it.

How old are you? 15? You need to leave this forum as you've shown yourself incapable of critical thinking and even typing to the basic standard of this Forum.

"Second to none" means you're in first place, not that hard to understand.

Well, it's a no-brainer really. India is nowhere near the US when it comes to military technology research. Neither is China or Russia, both of which are well ahead of India at this stage. In the foreseeable future, if India invests very wisely and actively, it may be able to catch up with China in the sectors that we are behind. But to compare with US or even Russia would be a no-brainer.

but these guys cant understand a simple thing that second to none is a simple message to the govt and ppl that india has progressed at a level from where we can match the western countries in developing technologies and we definitely need more investment. akash missile is also a great example.

Why do you care whether its second or first or comparable to the best ?

looks like u own a dozen castles in Greece and Rome..

@A1KAID
with all due respect
what u say is meant in gramatical manner, but actually it was said in colloquial tone
EG: Fools gold- material resembling gold--- colloquial Meaning
Fools gold- gold that belongs to fool--- gramatical meaning

More propaganda....

Something tells me countries like the US and China have more expertise in this field than India. I'm tired of the Indian government saying "were number #1 in such and such!"

I get that they want to be proud of their achievements but in most cases they can be called out for flat out lying.

Plz Read first two lines again;

"India is second to none in "Research" and "developement" in battlefield technology.

No claiming its first, but expanding for it.
