The overhaul of India’s Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) has evoked mixed reactions from the defense and aerospace community. AVIATION WEEK spoke to a number of current and retired senior DRDO officials after the May 13 announcement, and the verdict seems to be split, at least for now. A majority hailed India Defense Minister AK Antony for finally charting a course correction for DRDO, which has often been criticized for its escalating costs and inability to deliver on time.
