The major theme for this year’s DRDO participation is based on the 3D (DRDO, Designed and Developed) ecosphere which will highlight its strong linkages with both Industry as well as Academia. It will also showcase advancements in technologies made by its laboratories as well as its partnerships with the industry, in recent years while representing a high level of indigenousness in advanced and futuristic defence products & technologies that contribute towards Aatmanirbharta in the Defence sector.
In addition, DRDO will showcase several initiatives to deepen its strategic partnerships with Industry and Academia. These will include initiatives such as Technology Development Fund, Dare to Dream, DIA- Centres of Excellence and other similar schemes to support academia, startups, MSMEs, and large industries to continuously upgrade technology readiness levels of present and futuristic technologies in the country. All these DRDO-led initiatives have led to the operational readiness of many Indian industries, especially in the areas of systems, radars, sonars, missiles, aircrafts, etc. some of which will be displayed at the DRDO Pavilion, DefExpo22.
