Why another organization, when HAL, NAL, DRDO, ISRO already there?


  • To Complement them and their efforts. Lead Organizations like HAL/DRDO/ISRO/NAL are focused on launch of platforms of national importance, such as FGFA, MTA, AMCA, RTA, Launch Vehicles, Satellites, etc.

  • There is a need to create risk sharing eco-system to complement.

  • In the field of space India has made path-breaking achievements; so what is the logic

  • There is need to replicate and enlarge ambitions

  • In the area of aircraft development, India took early lead to design and develop military aircrafts like HF-24, a major success, with globally comparable technologies at that time. But the world paced up and moved faster;

  • There is need to catch up & Leap-frog using alternate systems

  • India took to many license production programmes, but these have been perpetuating dependence and followership

  • There is need to make others also dependent, lead in select areas and work for mutual inter-dependence

  • Some very important programmes were conceived and started: Tejas, ALH, IJT, Kaveri, Saras ALH and its derivatives have been successful within the country; its global full potentials need to be attempted. Tejas is making progress, but hasn’t filled the Indian and global sky. A lot needs to be done with regards to Kaveri, IJT, Saras.

  • There is need for supporting systems to accelerate programmes.

  • There is limited civil aircraft programme.RTA is being considered.

  • There is need for smaller pre-cursor programmes and ecosystem to support integrator like (HAL+NAL) SPV

  • India started in Aerospace before many countries, but many(Brazil, China, Japan, Israel) have edged past in many spheres of Aerospace technologies.

  • World expects more from India.
