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!!

DRDO Research Labs pages not there

One can find several pages for Indian Research Labs affilated to

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)[reply]
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).

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.

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)[reply]

nice template sniper, i will also contribute something to those lab pages--60.243.161.52 (talk) 13:26, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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."

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)[reply

Major Page Clean Up (May 2010)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

  • http://www.army-technology.com/projects/vlmica/
    Triggered by \barmy-technology\.com\b on the local blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

Unnamed SAM

Hey @Gazoth:, Have you seen this? ([1]). This is really only reference and there is no official release as of yet. Should we add a small para (2-4 sentences) about this here until we have more to go on to create a separate page? Adamgerber80 (talk) 04:44, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Adamgerber80: Yes, I did see it. The project seems to be a joint technology development with Russia. It was also mentioned in a recent Standing Committee on Defence report on DRDO (pg. 80). Yes, we can add a mention here, but it might never be notable enough to have its own page since it seems to be a technology development project without any path to induction. —Gazoth (talk) 05:00, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Gazoth: I agree with your assessment that it is notable enough to have a page of it's own but currently we have two sources with very limited content. I am fine with either (stating here or creating a separate page, both of these are not exclusive options), but am leaning towards just a small para on this page until we have a little more info to go on. Adamgerber80 (talk) 05:08, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Adamgerber80: I think you might have misunderstood me. I meant to say that not only is it not notable right now, it might never be notable in the future too as it is a technology development project rather than an independent product. —Gazoth (talk) 05:14, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Gazoth: Sorry, I misread the "never". Yes, you are right. Let's just add this to the current page. Thanks and again, sorry for the confusion. Adamgerber80 (talk) 05:18, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Defence Research and Development Organisation

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Defence Research and Development Organisation's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "IndiaToday2017":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 13:09, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
