What happened
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) showcased indigenous semiconductor technologies at the Emerging Science, Technology and Innovation Conclave (ESTIC) 2026. These technologies, including Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs) and Infrared Focal Plane Arrays (IRFPAs), were developed by Solid State Physics Laboratory (SSPL). The components are used in advanced radar systems, electronic warfare applications, and tactical missiles, covering Short-Wave, Mid-Wave, and Long-Wave Infrared technologies.
