On The Shop Floor | Bharat Dynamics: Backbone Of Indian Missile Manufacturing |

From manufacturing missiles for original equipment manufacturers and working in close collaboration with DRDO, Bharat Dynamics or BDL has gradually moved into R&D and engineering functions to help Indian armed forces acquire a cutting edge for current and future wars.
A miniratna company owned by the government, BDL is poised to enter new avenues of manufacturing covering a wide range of weapon systems across its three manufacturing units.
It now has the capacity to manufacture surface-to-air missiles, air defence systems, heavy weight torpedoes, air-to-air missiles, making it a frontline defence equipment manufacturer in India.
In this episode of 'On the Shop Floor', Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale travels to Hyderabad to speak with the Chairman and Managing Director of BDL, retired Commodore A. Madhavarao.

Talking about fund just think of it we purchase Rafael, and so many other defense items , you think that comes free? Issue is not funding. Issue is having understanding and experience in budling a fighter jet and only HAL and DRDO has the experience since these two groups have been building aircrafts since 50s and under ToT. BTW what ever indigenous, defense item you see form DRDO BDL, HAL, GTRE, ADA extra are all govt funded only. And we are now at strength of exporting. So you cant say funding is issue

[@hotrat79]

[@Zad1177]

While it is good to learn about BDL's capabilities but wouldn’t it be in the country's best interest to not show such a detailed walk through. I don’t think the US allows Lockheed martin or Northrop grumman to share such in depth videos. You can literally see the systems and OS the company is using for testing and computing. In todays digital war era these are obvious weak points. Moreover the walkthrough of whole plant is like a covert operatives dream come true for infiltration planning.

[@sunnypokhriyal3765]

Why will they show you there production on this interview….This is just the tip of the iceberg…india always gives surprises to the enemy in terms of weapons… whether it is foreign or indian….always the best…dont you remember Buforce Guns in kargil war

[@satyaprakash03133]

13:47 The Astra (BVR) class air to air missile system, designed to be mounted on fighter aircraft, is a highly versatile platform, which is the reason behind Indian air force's interest in them. And they're thinking critically about the system so gung ho is not the right word for it at all as it suggests participating enthusiastically and eagerly in a fight or war without thinking.

India can get global recognition as a powerful country only when it can build it’s own industrial machineries (cnc machines, robots), powerful marine & aero engines, critical equipments for thermal & nuclear powerplants.
