In an innovative example of sophisticated defence technology being directly adapted to combat the Covid-19 pandemic, the “On-Board Oxygen Generation System” (OBOGS) developed for the Tejas light combat aircraft has been translated into a civilian-use oxygen generation plant that can produce 1,000 litres of oxygen every minute.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh (pictured) was briefed on Tuesday on this innovation by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The technology has been transferred to the private industry and the Uttar Pradesh government has already placed an order for five such plants, according to a Ministry of Defence (MoD) statement on Tuesday.
