New Delhi, May 28: Admiral R K Dhowan on Thursday reiterated Indian Navy's commitment towards inducting home-grown systems and platforms. Chairing the last session of bi-annual Naval Commanders' Conference, Admiral Dhowan stressed the need for indigenisation of platforms, weapons, sensors and equipment, through the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), public industry, private sector and in-house efforts.
While emphasising that the roadmap for the Navy's expansion and growth would continue to remain anchored on self-reliance and indigenization, the Navy Chief wanted his designers and technical officers to work in close coordination with DRDO so as to develop niche technologies for the future Navy.
