Detailed Description

The role of industrial design in the development of defense systems has taken on tremendous importance in the past few years. India has grown from just another developing country to a fast-emerging superpower. With this growth, the need for better defense mechanisms has also grown. India is making efforts in developing indigenous defense programs. In 1983, the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP) was formed with the aim of achieving self-sufficiency in missile development and production, and today it comprises five core missile programs. Akash is one of them. With the development of more and more such systems, there has been a realisation of the need to address the issues related to the effectiveness and efficiency of these systems. The crux of these issues lies in the efficiency of the interaction of the system with its user. This magnified the need for better interactive systems at the disposal of the user to communicate with the defence systems. Also, these systems are highly potential targets for enemy attacks. This has given rise to the need for better and more effective protection systems. This project is about achieving better and more effective user interaction and protection for the system. It aims at developing a foolproof system that can serve the nation for years to come.
