Wasting Hard earned Money of tax payers.
Not their fault and its not a leisure for them.
yes we did that . I believe before you develop something you need to know the basics . I will call it the learning Phase Though we are still stuck into that phase only.
Learning phase is the longest phase. You are simply studying others work and trying to make good out of it. When you are into research, this is the most important phase and its the most time consuming as well. You yourself is reading some others doing in your field of work, but you can't say that you mastered it.
I will re Phrase that....
They innovate and judge the requirement in the future way before the user has imagined for it .
In this way requirement automatically gets created and they are ready for it....
But here there is no innovation.....
They believe in simply doing what is being asked for and no innovation at all...
Its the mentality and the mind set.....
Did anyone at the very first invested in preparing a fertile ground for innovation? What were our priorities when it came to R&D in defence sector? They are a part of government mechanism. They would work as per government, not independently.
i will like to know what is the success percentage of DRDO ADA HAL all together .
How many times have they stuck to there own deadlines?
Boeing gave a good competition di they or not .... yes they lost ...Competition ..... Here they DRDO have a monopoly hence there is no drive to achieve new heights....
You asking about success rate of DRDO, HAL and ADA all together? Then its 100%. Show me any other plane in aviation history which has been able to keep clean records in its development flight trials for 15 long years. Show me any other helicopter which has came up such a long distance irrespective of the fact that it has near zero export order and faced so much ridicule not only off shore, but in home ground too. Boeing almost sold his company when his designed planes were rejected.
Now, its not fault of DRDO, HAL or ADA that they have monopoly. They didn't stopped anyone or government to take up or encourage research in field of aviation.
no one is comparing them to the giants.....
but yes Timeframe of 30-50 years is more than sufficient .
If ISRO can achieve something why cannot they(Not comparing but yes ISRO Did it and in style).....
Had this been given to a private industry I can bet the outcome would have been different.
I know how private sector works when something new challenge is given to them and i have the exp to have done Training in Govt industry so I know there approach aswell....
If we haven't been comparing them with giants, then this thread would not have existed. 30 to 50 years time frame is nothing. For a simple ball point pen to reach its current design, it took a century. As
@piKacHHu already mentioned, reason behind success of ISRO is in its unilateral thinking. They do work in a single frame of mind and all there labour is directed towards that only. ISRO is even beating NASA in satellite launching, but it doesn't mean ISRO is better then NASA in all perspective. Where is ISRO in Human Space Flight index whereas CNSA, established in 1993 had already accomplished it. What is the reason that an establishment which came into being 2 decades late then ISRO is ahead of ISRO? Isn't ISRO thriving on tax payers money?
You are talking about private company? Why is TATA kestrel still there with TATA? Why is IA still stuck with BMP?
I too work with Pvt sector and my client list does include Govt sector too. Govt. sector works as a part of whole government machine. It would work the way you would make it work.
I am not taking away the credit they deserve if they have done something good .....
But that cannot be an excuse to what they failed to achieve.....
Now see, the fault doesn't entirely lies on these organizations. We have done our basics wrong in the very first place. Why do you think Pvt players have never been interested in defence field? For example lets take the case of Assault rifle manufacturing in India. A prototype needs 3 to 4 years time for testing alone. Now just think about it. In country where you have one of the coldest region in world on one end, one of the hottest region in world on another end, the most wettest region on one far end and one of the most saline region in another end. Don't you think that with all these varied geographical entity we could do a hot weather trial and cold weather trial testing in one single year or 2 year at max? Is it the fault of these organizations that it is not been done?
Unless and untill our whole structure and mechanism changes, you can't expect just a part to change. You can't even expect the pvt firms to come to your rescue if we don't change our overall working perspective.
