Murthy said the last decade had seen a quantum jump in the scale and complexity of engineering systems.
"Complexity arises from non-linearity as well as uncertainties introduced into the systems," an RCI release quoted Murthy as saying.
Murthy inaugurated a two-day workshop on "System Engineering and Technology" here.
"Today's demand for modern guided weapon systems requires new approach to guidance and control. The requirement of low cost, enhanced performance in extreme environments, pin point accuracy and capability of tracking targets at very high rate for any modern day weapon can be achieved by bringing in change in the control guidance approach," Murthy said.
"Development of new modelling, control and optimisation techniques for complex engineering systems has attracted increasing interest in the scientific and industrial community thereby bringing in multi-disciplinary facets such as modern control theory, intelligent optimisation techniques, real time parallel computing together," he said.
Murthy also emphasised the need to revolutionise the design and development of control algorithms and guidance schemes.
RCI former Director SK Chaudhuri said the system theory has taken shape as an independent discipline after 60 years of second world war principally in the aerospace area, where striking results have been obtained in the fields of control and instrumentation, signal processing and communication.
