I reverted this page to the 21 June edit, primarily because the entire Missiles section had gone missing due to some carelessness by a prior poster!!

[edit] DRDO Research Labs pages not there
One can find several pages for Indian Research Labs affilated to Department of Atomic Energy (India), CSIR India, TIFR, ISRO and other labs but not many DRDO labs are listed in wikipedia. Vjdchauhan 10:07, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
- Well, there are so many labs the structure of the article would be lost if we went for that.--Archerblack 09:23, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

- The request is not for adding in place info but for creating new pages for important DRDO labs say one page for TBRL Chandigarh and similarly for other important labs. Vjdchauhan 10:57, 17 November 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Overhaul
This page is far too long, and the information overload is too much to handle. There is a lot of unnecessary info crowding up the page. The page must be completely overhauled.
I suggest adding separate sub-sections for the individual Labs of DRDO, and putting the projects under them. In case of a lab having too many projects, it would be a good idea to create a page for that lab. For larger, multi-lab projects, we could put it under a project section as is now.
A History section is absolutely necessary, as is an organization/hierarchy section. Another section devoted to criticisms is also a good idea.

[edit] Infobox- List of DRDO Labs.
I've created a template on my user page, shown below, with a a list of DRDO Laboratories. I suggest that this be added to the page once enough labs have their own pages. The grouping has been done according to DRDO's own classification as given on their website http://www.drdo.org/labindex.shtml. Sniperz11talk|edits 19:59, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Split or Compress the article??
Shouldn't it be divided into smaller articles, Like ABM System definitely deserves a seperate article. Information about Radars, C3I Systems, Computer hardware is really large, wouldn't it be possible to make them into brief & create seperate articles for whichever is the important system.
Surprisingly there is no history section at all, directly the article jumps into projects.
Have a look at this in Akash SAM Section, somebody wrote about SA-3, SA-6 upgrade, SPYDER Deal which is not even remotely connected to DRDO.
The Indian Air Force is considering upgrading its Pechora SA-3 missiles with Polish help whilst it waits for the Akash. According to Janes Missiles and Rockets (December 2005), the IAF would like to conduct the Newa-SCM upgrade package upgrade to 20 S-125M Pechora-CC systems, using primarily the Tatra 8x8 chassis, which is licence-built in India. Installation on specially adapted heavy equipment trailers or Tatra 8x8 vehicles was studied at the request of the Indian Air Force. It incorporates a new ZNO-X digital transmitter/receiver block developed by the Przemyslowy Instytut Telekomunikacji (PIT) to replace the original magnetron-based hardware. The unit uses digital technology, including digital frequency synthesis, and has automatic built-in test facilities. While the ZNO-X is an expensive upgrade, it significantly improves system performance. Most of the upgrade work would be done in India, although the core elements of the upgrade would be delivered from Poland.
In October 2006, the Indian Air Force announced that it would be purchasing 18 batteries of the Spyder SAM system thanks to persistent delays in the Trishul and Akash programs. However, DRDO had improved the Akash based upon IAF recommendations and the IAF would conduct user trials to verify the improvements and induct it.
The Indian Army has sought to upgrade its SA-6 Kvadrat and SA-8 Missile systems whilst the Akash gets ready. The Indian magazine "Strategic Affairs " (No. 0011/ Issue: December 16) noted: "Poland has won an order worth $200 m from India to upgrade 100 Kvadrat (SA6) and 50 OSA-AKM (SA8) mobile surface to air missiles. The contract made public in August, is to be completed by 2002. The upgrades include integration of new radars, communications and control systems, improvements to the launch vehicle including new power packs. The Kvadrat upgrade includes new electronics for better electronic counter measures, passive infra-red search and track sensors."

[edit] why is so much written about OFB
Do we need to describe about OFB in three large paragraphs in DRDO Article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRDO#Armaments. Even the original OFB Article lacks so much of information. I do the section has to be trimmed with whole lot of extra information which is not at all necessary in a DRDO Page but it makes a lot sense to have it in the OFB Article.Ajay ijn (talk) 10:39, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Akash & Aeronautics Sections Cleaned up
I want opinions & reviews by other people here about Akash & Aeronautics section. It contained a lot of unwanted information which i have removed. Ajay ijn (talk) 10:42, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
