New Tactical short-range missile test July-end : DRDO

Six missiles can be loaded on to a single launcher, making it more cost-effective than others, said V.K. Saraswat, defence department secretary and DRDO director-general.

Drdo should converted to Dro (defense research organization) excluding some strategic weapons. It should concentrate on advance research only. They can develop IP and sell/ share it to public sectors and / or private sectors to develop end products. Competition
in product development in private/public sectors will produce result . So that every one can make money and accountable.
