Defence Research and Development Laboratory

Their charter is centered on the design, development, and flight evaluation of various types of missile systems for the Indian armed forces.

The organization's vision statement[1] reads: "Be a design and development house for missile based weapon systems required for tactical applications from multiple platforms."

[2] This team was later expanded into DRDL, a full-fledged laboratory, in June 1961, at the campus of Defence Science Centre, Delhi.

By 2011, India started producing cutting-edge components in-house and was fully independent in end-to-end missile development.

With its excellent temperature resistance, the cutting-edge ceramic TBC can function above the melting point of steel.
