Indian Air Force's Avro Gets DRDO built Autopilot Systems
Indian Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) has developed new autopilot systems for the aging Avro aircraft after a supplier left the Indian Air Force unable to service the aircraft. The autopilot system will enable the plane to fly a specific route without human interference. The pilots had to revert to manual mode after problems arose with the autopilot systems. Avro is used to ferry senior officials of the IAF. The latest FOG autopilot systems have been developed at the Research center Imarat (RCI), a unit of DRDO.
The systems will be tested for user trails by Aircraft and Systems Tests Establishment (ASTE), also under DRDO. "The indigenization has brought down the cost of the systems to a few lakh rupees," the Times Of India quoted an unnamed source as saying.

posted from the link given by Cobra commando - This is one of the major achievment of DRDO.Hence highlighting the post.
A 1000 kg glide bomb designed and developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) was successfully tested today, in Bay of Bengal of the coast of Odisha. The bomb was dropped by an Indian Air force aircraft, The bomb, guided by its 'on board navigation system' glided for nearly 100 km before hitting the target with great precision. The flight of the glide bomb was monitored by radars and electro-optic systems stationed at Integrated Test Range (ITR). Multiple DRDO laboratories namely, DARE, Bangalore, ARDE, Pune and TBRL, Chandigarh, with RCI, Hyderabad as the nodal laboratory have contributed towards development of the glide bomb. The complete avionics package and navigation system has been designed and developed by RCI.
