Frankly, DG (MSS) DG NS&M & DG ECS should be going under PMO. DRDO can keep DG ACE, Aero, the materials labs. Life science , Avalanche etc labs should be merged as CoE with the IIT's under MoD funding. Clothing etc related work could be with the psu & academia along with industry.

Agree, now think about CSIR labs all except NAL has to be transferred to academia or closed.
Some labs can be made autonomous , esp the better performing ones. Much like PLI scheme. lets see what happens.
Anyway, just for future reference, safekeeping

Its ADA, so probably something NLCA related, or maybe test naval rafale's for indigenous restraining barrier that is being developed?

DRDO handed over 23 Licensing Agreements for the Transfer of Technology (LATOT) to 22 industries in the presence of the Secretary Department of Defence (R&D) and Chairman DRDO Dr Samir V Kamat and other dignitaries. The technologies transferred to cover the domains of electronics, laser technology, armaments, life sciences, materials science, combat vehicles, naval systems, and aeronautics.
Despite all the criticism(valid too at places), DRDO is doing a stellar job in my opinion as far as our goal of self-reliance is concerned.
In the above chart they have shown Single Crystal HPT Blade. Hopefully now they/GTRE should turn their focus on Ceramic Matrix Composite HPT blades. Once that is done, we'll become self-reliant in the most coveted and elusive aero-engine department as well.
Would love to know what turret or general purpose test rig. Quite a few programs are tendered on , some with typical questionable drdo naming choice
advanced vetronics for some AFV, composite armour for light armoured vehicle (CATFLAV) , turret test rig, more Pralay warhead 700kg class.

IRDE have made laser beam rider guidance system finally. ToT process initiated. Also made Athermal laser target designator.
That is from the same doc I uploaded in the last one, has some other interesting stuff including gimbals, prob RCWS and optronic periscope etc.
India plans to spend $3 billion on space. Can it catch up to China?
A top Indian general says the military cannot remain dependent on foreign constellations.

Probably a combination of the existing C-UAS systems already seen before.
The soft-kill system:
The 2kW hard-kill system:
10kW hard-kill system:
The 2kW laser can kill quadcopters from 1km away:
The 10kW laser's kill range has not been mentioned in public yet. I would guess that the kill range is around 4+ km.
From the article:
This new 30-50 kW laser is going to be a solid-state laser. This new solid-state laser will have both land & sea-based versions.
DRDO had already developed a 100kW gas dynamic laser. Gas lasers are not practical for military use.
DRDO starts work to set up test centre in Bengal: Official
