That is why there is now a rethink on redesigning DRDO etc….
This situation leads to a rethink…options: 1 Repeat cycle 2. Meanwhile there is advancement in technologies which the adversaries have procured by importing etc…. This whole cycle usually takes more than a decade for a major product. Each of the step takes months as many organisations are involved in the process. Then research on the technologies required to develop the product are taken up (in many cases some of the technologies are ultimately imported) 4. Requirement of a product (say, tank) is projected. When an organization is designed for R&D of products rather than technologies at National level, such problems are bound to occur. Our DRDO was designed for R&D of products rather than of technologies (except in a couple of areas like nuclear, space etc.). The problem is, of course not with the DRDO either. It is very simplistic to say that the Army wanted a tank that could fly may be the statement is a bit irresponsible too.
