In a move set to bolster national security and technological prowess, the DRDO is investing in a ‘Jam-Tolerant Geared Rotary Actuator’ project. This advanced system is engineered to ensure the reliable functioning of Indian fighter jets, missiles, and spacecraft, even when faced with electronic jamming or mechanical faults. The technology converts electrical energy into precise mechanical motion, critical for the seamless operation of various aircraft components. Expected to be a key feature in upcoming projects like the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) and future space vehicles, this initiative emphasizes indigenous development with a mandatory high percentage of local content. The DRDO’s push for such resilient and self-reliant technologies signals India’s growing ambition in the global defense and aerospace sectors.
