  6. Aerostat Health Monitoring System 
  7. 3D  SURVEILLENCE RADAR- REVATHI 
  8. 5kW brushless DC Generating System for LCA Tejas 
  9. Arjun Main Battle Tank Mk I
  10. Anti Torpedo Decoy System 
  11. Arjun MBT Mk IA
  12. Under-development NEXT-GEN projects like AMCA 
  13. Arjun Armoured Recovery & Repair Vehicle ( Arjun ARRV)


(There are innumerable achievements in DRDO's history. These cannot be covered in this post alone, we will post a detailed post on DRDO's achievements soon.)

  • POKHRAN NUCLEAR TESTS: Pokhran Nuclear Mission is India's Nuclear journey which were successful. On 11th May 1998, India successfully conducted its underground nuclear tests in POKHRAN  in Rajasthan. It all began with the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led BJP govt came to power . Nuclear Tests became a necessity to show our power tot he world and was hence named OPERATION SHAKTI . It had become a way to show power,  which would be much required after the Indo-China war in 1962 and the Indo-Pak war in 1965.
    Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee at Pokhran after the first successful nuclear test on India
    Pokhran was the chosen one,  as the place was devoid of human settlements, and the temp there would soar up to 50 degrees, due to which sandstorms were generated. The sandstorms were the perfect thing to hide the nuclear weapons from the CIA which was watching India from the satellites in space. 
  • The NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY was doing rounds in the meantime which would disallow any country which signed it from nuclear testing. Onions were very much helpful so as to absorb the radioactive gases which were released by the nuclear test. CTBT ( Comprehensive Ban Treaty ) was a treaty which disallowed any country from testing nuclear weapons in Land, Air, or Water. Indians, finding a loophole conducted a nuclear test underground  which had no mention in the UN Treaty.   At 3:43 AM the test was successfully conducted. Many countries including USA, Japan sanctioned India in many ways which had adverse affects to the Indian Economy.
