To this end, I thought there is no better medium than DRDO Newsletter. My pillars of strength are the youngsters who join the organization with big dreams, self-assured and with new ideas. Important is to translate these ideas into reality, with hard work, determination and dedication. The feeling one gets on achieving the goal cannot be explained, the memory is everlasting. The sense of achievement would enhance your level of vision and ambition. Learning and contribution are two things that would never exhaust and one should not stop learning. Everyday brings in something new for all of us to learn. I too had my share of failures and achievements; ‘a hole-in-one’ as in golf, does not come every day but one should not stop trying for it. It is said, ‘failure is the stepping-stone of success’ and friends you have to take all the failures in positive stride, in the end you will come out with flying colours. ‘Where there is a will, there is a way’. I have a strong conviction that if we play our part well then the complete act would be perfect. Let your name be etched in golden letters in the organization. Pen down your ideas, dreams, articles and technical papers and they would find a place on DRDO website or suitably in the in-house journals/magazines in print form. I welcome you to connect with me on DRONA e-mail: secy@hqr. hqrdom and rest assure to get a reply. Jai Hind!

  • Israeli Arms Transfers to India: Ad Hoc Defence Cooperation Or the Beginnings of a Strategic Partnership?
    Policy Brief: Israeli Arms Transfers to India: Ad Hoc Defence Cooperation or the Beginnings of a Strategic Partnership? Richard A. Bitzinger April 2013 Policy Brief: Israeli Arms Transfers to India: Ad Hoc Defence Cooperation or the Beginnings of a Strategic Partnership? RICHARD A. BITZINGER 2 Executive Summary Israeli arms exports to India are at the core of Indo-Israeli defence cooperation. Israel has been selling weapons to the Indian military for over 20 years. These transfers are mutually benefi cial: Israel has become one of India’s most important arms suppliers, as well as a critical provider of military technologies and know-how, while India has become Israel’s single largest arms market. This arms relationship has subsequently expanded into other areas of defence cooperation, such as combating terrorism, and joint naval and space activities. However, any expectations that such cooperation will result in a broader and deeper “strategic partnership” – particularly one that could help Tel Aviv enlist New Delhi’s help in hindering Iran’s anti- Israeli activities – are overly optimistic. India and Israel do not share enough of a common worldview or common goals to form the basis of such a partnership. Consequently, Indo-Israel defence cooperation will likely remain a tactical, ad hoc arms- for-cash relationship for some time to come. Defence cooperation has always been a low-key but essential Recent Israeli transfers to India include: element in relations between Israel and India.1 While most of • Searcher and Heron surveillance UAVs this cooperation has taken place at the rather discreet level • Harpy and Harop loitering anti-radiation drones of Israeli arms sales to India, these deals have nonetheless • The Popeye air-to-ground missile been critical to the expansion of military ties between these • The Python-4 air-to-air missile two countries since the establishment of bilateral diplomatic • The Spike anti-tank missile relations in 1992.

Besides the existing players creating series of success stories in Make-in-India, many new entrants have entered the sector to be part of India’s defence manufacturing ecosystem. In the last few years, the Indian industry has grown leaps and bounds through indigenous manufacturing exploiting inhouse innovations as well as strategic partner- ships through collaboration with foreign OEMs of choice. A very significant growth multiplier over the past five years is visible in the defence exports arena. The Industry is further energized with the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan’ along with the recent easing of FDI regulations in the defence sector, as a strategic direction to future. With proactive and industry friendly policies (DPEEP) and procedures (DAP), tax incentivisation (lower tax rates for new manufactur- ing companies), labour reforms and reform in company Law in quick suc- cession, promoting acquisition of indigenous defence goods by prioritizing Indigenous offerings, all in place and having articulated a target of achieving a USD25 billion defence industry by 2025, India is has provided the required impetus not only to indigenise its own market but also significantly contrib- ute towards the growth of its share in the global defence market.

  • Impact of Ballistic Missile Defence System on Strategic Stability in South Asia
    Journal of Strategic Affairs Impact of Ballistic Missile Defence System on Strategic Stability in South Asia Moiz Khan Introduction During 2017, India and Pakistan conducted several missile tests introducing various types of offensive and defensive weapons in the region. Both the countries also remained engaged in improving the ranges and technological sophistication of their existing arsenal. They also completed their nuclear triads i.e. the capability of delivering nuclear weapons by land, air and sea based platforms. India, however, acquired an edge over Pakistan through the successful launches of its nuclear-capable intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) Agni-IV1 and intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) Agni-V2. India’s Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) announced that India is looking into the possibility of equipping its Agni-V ICBM with multiple independently-targetable re-entry vehicles (MIRV).3 The country has also announced that it is working on the development of the Agni-VI ICBM with a strike-range of 8,000–10,000 km, capable of being launched from submarines as well as from land.4 Apart from modernising its missile systems, India continues working on its two-layered ballistic missile defence system (BMD).5 Though India has successfully conducted several tests of its BMD system in a separate mode, the system is yet to be tested in an integrated mode i.e. using both low-altitude Prithvi Air Defence (PAD) and high-altitude Advanced Air Defence (AAD) interceptor missiles. The country has been working on
