DRDO-Industry-Academia Conclave

Welcome to DRDO-Industry-Academia Conclave DIAC-2026

India has successfully established various defence technologies required for the development and production of modern defence equipment and complex systems.

Many of the equipment designed, developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), and manufactured indigenously have been deployed, tested, performed to the full specification, and proved successful during “Operation Sindoor.” Bulk production of these equipment and systems to meet our own services and enhanced export requirement is the priority goal.

DRDO, as a premier agency under the Ministry of Defence, continues to lead the nation’s efforts in defence technology, innovation, and research. The vibrant Indian academia and rapidly maturing Industrial sector are vital partners in this endeavour.

To harness the collective strengths of these three pillars - DRDO, Industry, and Academia, Institute of Defence Scientists & Technologists (IDST), is organising this conclave.

The Primary aim of the conclave is to establish and deepen synergies among DRDO, Industry and Academic institutions, thereby accelerating research and development (R&D), fostering innovation, and facilitating the translation of cutting-edge research into deployable technologies for national security and societal needs.
