The head of the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), Dr. G. Satheesh Reddy, stated on Saturday that India should become a hub for drone production worldwide. India is focusing on how drones may be used in both the defence and non-defense industries.
The Aero Innovation and Skill Centre (AISC) is a step in the right direction since we need to support the young people in their inventions. The administration has made it plain that everything should be produced domestically, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged us to create items of the highest calibre possible so that the rest of the world would look up to us. There are items in the aerospace and defence industries that are now created here rather than being imported.
AISC Bengaluru, a division of the Aeronautical Society of India (AeSI), would assist prospective business owners and start-ups in doing research and development in the aerospace industries. As of right present, the AISC will consist of about 15-20 startups. According to authorities, professionals from the DRDO, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) would guide the start-ups and entrepreneurs.
According to the DRDO chairman, even ten years ago, the majority of IIT graduates left India for higher education and employment prospects, but today, over 75% of graduates choose to remain in India and work in a variety of industries, including aerospace and defence technology, among others.
“The current environment is the reason why rolling an aeroplane in four years is even a possibility. India would overtake China as the world’s top importer, he said.
In order to close the skills gap between industry and academia and to support the start-up ecosystem in the aerospace and defence industries, the software and cloud services provider Altair India and the AeSI also inked an MoU. As a technology partner, Altair will offer assistance to AeSI and AISC aspirants by providing free access to technology, solutions, and mentoring.
