The indigenous platform maintained an altitude of 20 km for more than 30 minutes, marking a key step towards developing a long-endurance stratospheric airship

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has joined hands with CSIR-Central Glass and Ceramic Research Institute (CSIR-CGCRI) as technology partner for a Rs 50-crore project to develop indigenous advanced lightweight bulletproof glass for armoured vehicles. The four-year project, being executed with DRDO laboratories including the Naval Materials Research Laboratory (NMRL) in Maharashtra and TBRL in Chandigarh, is at an advanced stage and seeks to take the technology from laboratory development to large-scale manufacturing with an industry partner to be selected by DRDO. The technology is aimed at replacing imported transparent armour while reducing its weight and thickness by up to 50 per cent. "The Rs 50-crore project is aimed at developing advanced indigenous bulletproof glass technology for defence applications and aligns our R&D capabilities directly with national strategic requirements," CSIR-CGCRI Director Bikramjit Basu told PTI. The project is focused on ..

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has approved the transfer of DRDO-developed technologies of all conventional missile systems to the Indian defence industry for production within the country. The defence ministry, making the announcement, said the move is an "important milestone" in promoting greater participation of the domestic industries in the defence ecosystem. "The provision will enable successful transition of missile system development to industrial production, reflecting the continued efforts of DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) to leverage the capabilities of the Indian industry for the development and manufacture of advanced defence systems," the ministry said. It said the objective is to enhance domestic manufacturing capabilities, strengthen the defence industrial base and create opportunities for the participation of Indian MSMEs and other technology partners in the supply chain.

A parliamentary panel has recommended that the DRDO "expeditiously" finalise and notify clear, measurable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) covering cost efficiency, technological maturity, target dates, completion time, and operational effectiveness. In its report, presented in Parliament on Friday, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence noted that the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) provides equal opportunities to women employees and has a well-established grievance redressal mechanism in place. It recommended, however, that all-out "efforts should be made to strengthen the complaint mechanism" and ensure strict adherence to the SOP on dealing with complaints under the POSH Act. The committee said it appreciates the role of the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC), the Sexual Harassment Electronic Box (She-Box), and the appointment of nodal officers in each lab for a timely redressal of complaints under the POSH Act. The panel said it desires that the
