DRDO and EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse)

We celebrated the "Vijay Diwas" and remembered our Jawans and officers who laid their life in the “Kargil War,” 1999.

Nuclear conflict was a deterrent and the then government did not cross L-O-C. Kargil war compelled us to work hard on the front of enhance our Nuclear war head capability (a) Carrier (b) Protect our own electronic communication devices from Nuclear generated EMP, it is the event of Nuclear burst. DRDO has assigned the task in 1999

i)              To explore the protection mechanism against Nuclear generated EMP.

ii)             To explore the in house development of Non-Nuclear generated EMP i.e. EM Bomb

After 10 years general public has the right to know the progress made by DRDO in this most strategically important area and what amount of money has been spent by DRDO on this task.

DRDO has become the heaven of “bluffers” and the best part is that there is no `Accountability’. DRDO is functioning like an autonomous body except the fact that the salary is given by the Government of India.

If our honorable Defence Minister think to import Nuclear Protections Devices and EM Bombs for our Armed Forces, the price of rice will be go up @ Rs 200 per Kg and Atta (flour) will be cost @ Rs 150 per Kg.

But our honorable Defence Minister feels that he and his government is accountable to common people, than first fixing the accountability on 30000 strong, and so call highly qualified, highly paid work force with having more than Rs.80000 crores of infrastructure and utilizing, non-productively, a massive  budget of Rs 9000 crores annually.

Accountability is the foremost step towards making DRDO from a non-productive to a productive organization. Sideline the ‘Big Bluffers` only allow the projects viable and waited by the Armed Forces Chiefs like project on Nuclear and non Nuclear generated EM capability and protection against EM Bomb.

China unveiled Nuclear Submarine fleet on the occasion of 60^th anniversary of its navy on April 2009. Now, with 4000 missiles they are coming closer to India.  

DRDO's Foolish Steps.

Some time ago, in one of the news channel the honorable Defence Minister was spotted with a smile on his face. He was in the parliament and said, “We import 70% of the technology." There is no way out.

I understand for a sensible mass leader who understands the value of the tax-payers’ money and anguish hidden behind the short smile.

DRDO was established in 1958 and has celebrated its golden jubilee.

-         Did anybody User/Minister and the General Public ask them, how many indigenous products they have given to Indian Defence Forces as Import substitute?

-         What was the reason of unceremoniously closer of IGMDP and SAMUKTA (EW) System?

-         The organization has a humungous man-power of 30000 men with 1^st class degrees. Huge dimensioned infrastructure costing 60000 crores. Then why have they failed to address the national-security issues?

-         Where has this incompetence entered the system?

Please analyze it.  

If a big program is planned, usually it is sanctioned for a PDC of 36 months. 

The great foolish steps:-

-         IGMDP with 20 years (when closed)

-         SAMUKTA (1982 – 2007 when closed)

-         LCA ( 1990 – going on)

Once the PDC was over, the entire scientific machinery exhausted its effort in issuing bluff or white tie. As a result the youngsters of yester years, after taking charge, in 2000, became bluff-masters and left science behind.

Almost all the national issues were ignored.

The most important activity closed by DEAL, Dehradun is the “Nuclear EMP hardening of Communication Systems”. Either it was because the Director DEAL did not want any activity other than his field of research to continue further or God would know better.

If the Minister is serious about the importance of this national security issue, then DEAL Dehradun should be given responsibility.

-         To Harden Telemetry Tele-Command Data Link for Nuclear EMP

-          To Harden CNR ( Combat Net Radio for Nuclear EMP

I hope someone can think and take an initiative about this issue of national importance.

Letter to Sh A.K Antony

As the honorable Defence Minister of India, this is your second successive tenure. The first one had limitation of weak government, as the number was not adequate and the survival of the government itself was always in doubt. As a result your Ministry did not commit ACCOUNTABILITY in R&D organization which is an important factor. In the new government, a strong majority prevails and therefore it is expected that you will discharge your duties as expected by the common citizen/tax payer of India.

As the Defence Minister, Late Sh. Viswanath Partap Singh adjudged DRDO scientist and manpower as social commitment, at the 1986 Directors' conference at Bangalore. The obvious reason was that products developed by DRDO were Nil.. Today, even after 23 years, the output of DRDO remain Nil and it has not delivered a single item, 100% indigenous, due to following reason :-

1. There is no accountability in DRDO.

2. DRDO consumes a major share of the Defence budget but it has failed to deliver a single indigenous product useful for Indian Defence forces. Some defence officers raise their voices, but it is not heeded by the authority..

3. In the name of technology development DRDO rely on the import of current technology ( normally declared obsolete by Russia,USA, Israel, France etc)

4. The imported items are shown/demonstrated to users (ARMY/Navy/Air force). When it comes to mass development the actual fight begins between PSU's and DRDO. It is because DRDO does not know the inherent property and fails to prepare proper TOT as required.

5. DRDO directors are bluff-masters. They act as if DRDO Labs are autonomous bodies. They have been trained by their predecessors to bluff and simply bluff. The Minister normally does not ask technical questions as a result DRDO has become a bluff-masters' paradise.

6. The knowledge/higher degree is an optional requirement. DRDO rely on fresh B.Tech engineers and groom them  to continue  the bluff. If they disagree then they are forced to reign. See the number of DRDO scientists who've resigned in past 25 years.

Sir, will you please look into the grievances of the poor tax payers. Can you ask SA to RM to count in fingers what products DRDO has given so far and must judge in the light of North Korea's and China's capabilities.
You are working on P Rama Rao committee which intends to ameliorate DRDO, but through news we know that the bluff-masters of DRDO have already succeeded in diluting the action.

  

Appeal to clean DRDO of corrupt and Anti national officials

Dear friends,

 With the support of the true Indians we can save our premier defense organisation (DRDO) from the corrupt officials. I am appealing all my friends from DRDO to please support this blog and give your valuable inputs. It is required that we clean the problems of DRDO like nepotism and corruption. They are the root cause of DRDO’s failure in all fields. Friends, I have tons of evidences related to corruption, misinterpretation of rules and misappropriation of funds in DRDO.  I am fighting against corruption in DRDO, since 2000. I have submitted a series of evidences to all government agencies, but till date neither DRDO nor any government agency claimed that they are wrong. Now the RTI acts as the right tool to clean up corruption. With your blessing, I will post all evidences, letters and correspondences with all concern departments. The information from replies to the RTI’s I filed will be available for all the citizen of India. They can analyze the level of corruption in DRDO with the façade of secrecy.
