HYDERABAD:India is soaring with a wide range of activities on the latest missiles and aerospace technology and many countries are looking to it for further development of this technology and work together.
"Besides Europe, two to three more countries are looking to us for development and have expressed desire to work with us," Prahlada, director of the Defense Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), said.
Without naming the countries, Prahlada said that these countries were willing to work on short or long-term basis.
"We in DRDL are developing futuristic technologies for next generation weapon applications. Missiles currently under development are air-to-air Astra and multi role multi purpose joint venture Brahmos. Flying a hypersonic scramjet engine demonstrator is the latest technology initiative in this lab", the DRDL director said.
"The missile Astra is being developed and will be launched in a few months which will be capable of easily striking the targets at 80 to 90 kms", Prahlada said.
