Tarmak007 -- A bold blog on Indian defence: Dr Kalam inaugurates Navigation & Embedded Computer Complex in Hyderabad

The state-of-art technology center for design & development of world class Advance Navigation systems & Real-time Embedded computing products was inaugurated by Dr. APJ. Abdul Kalam, Former President of India on 9th December 2011 (Friday), at RESEARCH CENTER IMARAT (RCI), the brain child of Dr. Kalam and the premier defence Avionic systems laboratory situated in the DRDO’ s Missile complex in Hyderabad.
The ‘NAVIGATION & EMBEDDED COMPUTERS COMPLEX’ which has been built over 14.5 acres within the premises of RCI, houses the most advanced design, fabrication & performance evaluation facilities required for the development of all classes of Navigation sensors & systems and real-time embedded systems. The Inertial Navigation group of RCI, which will be relocating to this complex, has been involved in the design & development of highly critical inertial sensors like Ring Laser Gyroscopes (RLGs), Fiber Optic Gyroscopes (FOGs), Quartz Accelerometers, Hemispherical Resonating gyros (HRGs), etc which go into the Navigation systems of missiles, combat aircraft, torpedoes, ships & submarines.
The Real-time Embedded computing Group of RCI has been developing the real-time computer systems for all DRDO products and is an expert group in state-of-art VLSI & System-on-Chip (SoC) technologies. The DRDO scientists confirm that this new advanced Navigation complex is on par with the best in the world and possesses all relevant infrastructures required for the system development and performance evaluation of the present & future Navigation requirements.
Dr. Kalam, the founder of RCI, also inaugurated the museum within the complex, which showcases the birth and evolution of the navigation & computing technologies of the world & DRDO, from ancient times to the present day. Dr. Kalam, during his address, expressed that his dream of RCI heading towards the Number 1 position in the field of Inertial sensors, Navigation systems & algorithms, etc is becoming a reality and emphasized the need to develop the Single chip Navigation, Guidance & control solution based on the System-on-chip technology.
Scientific Advisor to Raksha Mantri & the Chief of DRDO Dr. V.K. Saraswat, congratulated the scientists on establishing the world class facility and wished RCI to emerge as the world leader in avionics. The Chief Controller R&D (Missiles & Stategic Systems) Shri. Avinash Chander, Director of RCI Shri. SK. Ray and many other Chief Controllers & top scientists of DRDO were present during the occasion.

Outstanding. Another feather in the cap of DRDO and RCI. 14.5 acre means its a huge facility.

houses the most advanced design, fabrication & performance evaluation facilities required for the development of all classes of Navigation sensors & systems and real-time embedded systems. The Inertial Navigation group of RCI, which will be relocating to this complex, has been involved in the design & development of highly critical inertial sensors like Ring Laser Gyroscopes (RLGs), Fiber Optic Gyroscopes (FOGs), Quartz Accelerometers, Hemispherical Resonating gyros (HRGs), etc which go into the Navigation systems of missiles, combat aircraft, torpedoes, ships & submarines.

These are the most secretive technologies usually not available for sale. Specially the gyros. This facility will help India to mass produce them and develop future systems.

emphasized the need to develop the Single chip Navigation, Guidance & control solution based on the System-on-chip technology.

I think DRDO already made some progress in this field.

I am happy that it was inaugurated by kalam sir.

You said it, inauguration of a scientific institution by the man of science himself.

And not by any fu*king Gandhi.

Actually these technologies ( INS, RLG, FOG) have around for donkey's years and manufactured by a number of countries and companies. I am surprised that we don't already make these type of gyros.

Actually if you had $20,000 or even less, you can buy these gyros yourself from Honeywell,as long as you are not a terrorist

If you are one, then you can always go to the Russian or Chinese equivalent companies !!

Forget donkey's years, it was available to the cavemen as well. And so far in India some people sitting inside the missiles were guiding them towards as this facility have been inaugurated yesterday.

Really? A military grade RLG/FOG/MEMS combined gryo available for $ 20000 and also allowed
to sell any person even outside US???? Which can guide a missile less than 10 m to the target or an ABM. I thought such navigation systems are refused to India by the western countries.

I would like to know which Chinese company sell such gyro.
