"Along with indigenisation, it is also important to focus on innovative ideas in advanced high-tech areas such as cyborgs and others," Sundaram said.
The weapons on display, ranging from sub-systems of the Akash air-defence andBRAHMOS missile to medium-range surface-to-air missiles and the unmanned aerial vehicle-launched precision-guided missile, were all developed in the Hyderabad complex and used in Operation Sindoor.

The workshop also focused on coming up with ways and means to further enhance the capabilities of these systems. Samir V Kamat, chairman, DRDO, congratulated the organisation and urged the missile complex to tirelessly work towards the quick induction of weapon systems that are undergoing user trials.
He also emphasised the need to develop more agile, stealthier and faster missiles, such as hypersonic missiles, to counter the threat from advanced air defence systems in future events.

Meet India's next-generation ICBM: A powerful weapon with advanced anti-ABM capabilities, it could...
(Image: New Delhi: In yet another leap towards developing next-generation Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has concluded design studies. The next generation ICBM from the stable of DRDO would be a next level game changer for India just like the previous versions and greatly augment India's strategic deterrence capabilities. Reports say that this new generation missile will integrate the latest and most efficient features like those of Agni-V MkII. What do we know about next-generation ICBM up till now? As would be expected from the up-to-date ICBM system, it will be packed with all the features that are required to counter the contemporary threats, especially in territories shielded by advanced ABM systems. Thanks to DRDO's latest venture, the ICBMs have yet again announced their importance, especially in the present set up and upgradation and this missile is poised to address modern threats. India's first Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Agni-V has been India's most prominent nuclear deterrence. This land based nuclear MIRV with a range of 7000-8000 km is one of the fastest missiles in the world, reaching speeds up to Mach 24 (29,400 km/h). What should we expect from the next gen ICBM? We have every reason to reach the conviction that DRDO's next ICBM will significantly boost the current attributes and further incorporate the ones required by the new world order after the Russia-Ukraine war, Iran-Israel conflict, and India-Pakistan conflict during Operation Sindoor. The new world order will decide the platform, the policy, and the strategy along with making sure that the next-generation ICBM does not need to start afresh, rather utilises the latest and combines elements. For instance, miniaturized nuclear warheads, carbon-composite structures for thermal protection during re-entry, and a canisterized cold-launch system for rapid deployment. It has to overtake the current Agni-V's capabilities. With extremely powerful penetrating advanced anti-Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) systems like Russia's S-500, China's HQ-19, and America's THAAD, it goes without saying that the new one has to outsmart and outmanoeuvre the most advanced ABMs that are functional right now.

Bad news for Pakistan, China as India develops 500 kg super bomb which can destroy launchpads, radars, runways in seconds, Surgical strikes will now be…
DRDO 500 kg superbomb- Representative AI image DRDO 500 kg pre-fragmented bomb: In a significant development for the Indian Air Force and a matter of bad news for Pakistan, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India has added a powerful indigenous weapon to its defence arsena with the development of a 500 kg pre-fragmented bomb. The newly developed DRDO bomb is expected to play a massive role for the Air Force as it can be used during strikes on Pakistan. Here are all the details you need to know about the DRDO 500 kg pre-fragmented bomb and why it's a bad news for Pakistan. About 500 kg pre-fragmented bomb Falling under the high-explosive general-purpose category, the 500 kg pre-fragmented super bomb is designed to cause maximum destruction within a limited area. Moreover, due to the smart design of the bomb, effective penetration and heavy impact is seen in the area where it is used, causing a 360 degrees impact, destroying launchpads, radars and runways. Why 500 kg pre-fragmented bomb is a game-changer? The DRDO 500 kg pre-fragmented bomb has been made indigenously and therefore, it is very cost-effective, It is also tailored for seamless integration with Indian fighter jets like Sukhoi-30 MKI, Mirage-2000, and Tejas. DRDO conducts successful flight trials of unmanned aerial vehicle In another major boost to India's defence capabilities, Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) has successfully carried out flight-trials of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Launched Precision Guided Missile (ULPGM)-V3 at the National Open Area Range (NOAR) test range in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh. The missile is an enhanced version of the ULPGM-V2 missile developed and delivered by DRDO earlier. As per the official release, the ULPGM-V3 is equipped with a high-definition, dual-channel seeker that can engage a wide variety of targets. It can be fired in plain and high-altitude areas. It has day-and-night capability and a two-way data link to support post-launch target/aim-point update. (With inputs from agencies)
