DIAT Expands Programs in Semiconductor and Quantum Technologies
DIAT is creating new courses and a lab to boost India's defense tech.
They're focusing on things like making computer chips, electronics for space and defense, and quantum technology.
This is because the government wants to use more made-in-India weapons and technology, especially after Operation Sindoor.
They are also working on cool stuff like lasers to send data, and tech that can fight against drones.
It's all about making India stronger in defense.
DIAT is launching specialized programs in semiconductor design, defense, and space electronics.
A futuristic quantum technology laboratory is set to be inaugurated.
The initiatives follow increased government and tri-services focus on indigenous defense technologies after Operation Sindoor.
DIAT is conducting an MTech program in Defence Technology for new DRDO recruits.
Research includes free-space high data laser communication, photonics-based electronic warfare, and drone technology.
