The chief of the Defence Research and Development Organisation DRDO, Samir V Kamat, has called for an urgent reduction in the development cycle of critical materials to keep pace with rapidly evolving defense technologies. Addressing the CAPSIMR Joint Seminar on April 7, Kamat emphasized that advanced materials are the fundamental enablers for nextgeneration weapons, sensors, and aerospace systems. Currently, the standard timeline for developing these critical materials spans 10 to 15 years, a cycle that DRDO aims to drastically shorten to strengthen Indias indigenous technological capabilities. This strategic pivot aligns closely with global military trends, where accelerated material science directly dictates superiority in stealth, hypersonics, and autonomous drones. By streamlining the R&D pipeline and leveraging modern predictive data analytics for material testing, the organization hopes to establish a highly agile and selfreliant defense tech ecosystem.
