Rajnath Singh calls for increased R&D to deal with aerospace challenges

New Delhi, Mar 9 (UNI) Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday highlighted that the aerospace sector is going to witness an unprecedented growth in the coming times and stressed the importance of prioritising R&D to address the challenges related to it.
Speaking after visiting the Institute of Aerospace Medicine (IAM) of the Indian Air Force (IAF) in Bengaluru, Karnataka, Singh highlighted the growing need for expertise in aerospace medicine in view of the continuous increase in air and space traffic, a Defence Ministry statement said.
“From the defence perspective, space has emerged as a major domain in warfare. We have taken a step forward in this direction and mastered the most-advanced technologies such as anti-satellite. India has also become the fastest growing aviation market in the world. As we are touching new heights in space, we need to explore more possibilities in aerospace medicine. There is a need for increased R&D as research in any high-end complex technology provides benefits to many fields,” he said.
