Singh called on DRDO to continue to explore new possibilities in construction technology and contribute to nation building through new innovations.
According to DRDO officials, the FCS facility is a building with a plinth area of 1.3 lakh square feet. The FCS integration facility at ADE, a laboratory of DRDO, was completed in a record time of 45 days using in-house hybrid technology comprising conventional, prefabricated and prefabricated methodology.
The technology was developed by DRDO with the help of Larsen & Toubro (L&T). Design review and technical support were provided by the IIT Madras and IIT Roorkee teams. This FCS facility will support research and development (R&D) activities for the development of Avionics for Fighter Aircraft and FCS for Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft conducted by ADE, Bengaluru.
Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, Secretary Ministry of Defence, R&D and Chairman DRDO Dr. G Satheesh Reddy and senior officers from DRDO and state government were among those in attendance at the inauguration.
