IDST Has Completed 1000 +
Projects with its strength of
1026 members.
What We Intend..
 Contribute in DRDO’s Programmes
as long we remain Relevant and You
Need Us
 Support DRDO in the Areas Where
DRDO Scientists not able to
contribute due to Time Pressure &
Shortage of Expert Hands
 Where DRDO is yet to implement
new techniques, such as Design
Science, Design research & Design
Methodologies which many
advanced nations have already
implemented.
 Enhance Academy interaction
 National & International
Collaboration
IDST Collaborations..
 National Level
MOU with BAe-HAL, effective from
1.10.2014 for development of various small
air-crafts and systems.
 International Level
MOU with TOMSK State University & FRPC
Altai Russia, effective from 3.12.2014 for
High Energy and other Material science.

 We mostly remain within our conceived boundary
i.e. A Single Operating Zone.
Emerging Development Process
The New Scheme Is Based On 2 Operating Zones :
1. Internal to the System
2. External to the System

ACADEMY
Universities Are At The Heart
Of
Nation’s Economy
IDST To Promote DRDO- ACADEMY
Interaction
 Sponsored Projects
Special Projects by students, B.Tech, M.Tech,Phd
 Collaborative Projects for PSUs and Industries
 Short Term & Long Term (M Tech) Courses in
specific areas, such as High Energy Material,
Modeling & Simulations etc.
 Creation of Centre of Excellences in specific areas:
Reliability Estimation, Electronic Packaging etc.
IDST can Participate in DRDO’s
Academy Projects at :
 The proposed Centre of Excellences
 30 NITs spread across the country
 Interaction in the CARS and other
projects initiated through EP&IR
 Take up analysis of recent academy
projects ( 3-5 years) for their usefulness to
DRDO and the industries ,
&
suggest on continuation of potential ones.
IDST’s Specific Role..
• Interaction with Laboratories to identify future Academy
projects (5-7)
• Interact with Academy to identify the capability &
expertise that exist with Academy to meet DRDO’s need.
• Assist to frame the projects with the Labs & Academies.
• Prepare the Format of Input that to be generated from
the Labs.
• Coordinate with Labs for timely availability of Input.
• Ensure RegularMonitoring the projects at Academy
• Participate in Design Reviews.
• Participate in Final documentation.
• Identify Industries for TOT, if applicable.

IDST Strategy..
IDST Technical and Scientific
activities will be performed through
structured groups/teams.
Tier 1. Cluster Level S&T Groups.
Tier 2. Under S&T Groups, Core
Technology Teams in specific
areas

IDST Strategy..
Technology Specific Core Teams will be constituted,
Examples: Aerodynamics, Propulsion, Guidance &
Control, Radar, Metallurgy etc.
 Core Teams are the empowered building blocks of
IDST ,will look for assignments, build the teams and
carry out the tasks.
 Core Teams can invite external experts, academies
professional etc. for specific task
 50- 60 Core Teams can be constituted
 With 5 members average in each team, 250-300
members can be engaged in academy interaction and
other projects.
