    ARMY DESIGN BUREAU 1ST COMPENDIUM ON SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEM STATEMENTS APRIL 2018 FOREWORD In this era of fast evolving world of technology, cost efficient development of indigenous capabilities, products and technologies, would serve to be the real force multiplier in giving our armed forces the dening edge in future battleelds. The relentless encouragement and enabling policy environment provided by the Government of India (GoI) through series of reforms over the last few years has served as impetus to industry to innovate and work on development of indigenous technologies, products and solutions. Under the watchful eyes of the Industry friendly leadership at the helm of Ministry of Defence, relentlessly promoting Indigenisation of the Defence Sector by embracing the Government's agship initiative 'Make in India', Defence & Aerospace sector is poised to become a major contributor to GDP growth over coming years. Our Armed Forces, and the Indian Army in particular have been very proactive over past few years in reaching out to industry to absorb upcoming technologies and indigenous solutions for their day-to-day operations. The much-needed dissemination of critical requirements of Indian Army has been expedited through the constitution of Army Design Bureau (ADB). FICCI provided able support to this endeavour by associating with ADB to bring together Army - Industry - Academia in a strong partnership culminating in issuing "Compendium of Problems" by the Army HQ. In the last one and a half year the Army - Industry - Academia dialogue has traversed a long way across the industrial & academic clusters in India, with Army spelling its operational requirements, to next logical phase of the industry and academia offering home grown solutions to the problems.
