Ready to walk the extra mile to support Armed Forces-Rajnath Singh

Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday inaugurated a seven-storeyed Flight Control System (FCS) Integration facility at Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE), a laboratory of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in Bengaluru. The state-of-the-art complex has been constructed in record 45 days, with in-house hybrid technology consisting of conventional, pre-engineered and precast methodology. The technology has been developed by DRDO with the help of M/s Larsen & Toubro (L&T). Design check and technical support has been provided by the teams of IIT Madras and IIT Roorkee.

Addressing the gathering Singh reiterated the government’s resolve to walk the extra mile to support the Armed Forces, scientists, entrepreneurs, academicians, students, farmers & the people at large in their quest for excellence. Our defence needs have also increased and constant modernisation of the Armed Forces is the need of the hour, he said. Keeping ourselves ready is our top priority and we are constantly working to enhance our strategic capabilities, said the minister. Commending DRDO and L&T for developing the hybrid technology, Rajnath Singh expressed confidence that it will increase the productivity of the construction process; promote optimum utilisation of resources; reduce losses due to wastage and will be helpful in speedy completion of projects.
