DRDO Showcases Indigenous Defence Systems at Africa Aerospace Expo, Highlighting India's Growing Self‑Reliance

DRDO showcased a range of indigenous defence systems at the Africa Aerospace and Defence Expo 2026, highlighting India's growing self‑reliance in military technology and its commitment to domestic production capabilities.

GaN Technology unveiled by DRDO promises a 300‑fold speed increase over existing semiconductor solutions, positioning India as a leader in high‑performance electronics and signaling a leap in national defence innovation.

India’s Military Modernisation strategy moves beyond acquiring foreign platforms, focusing on networked warfighting capabilities to improve battlefield integration, streamline command, and enhance real‑time decision making across joint forces.

Domestic Industry is now central to defence procurement plans, aiming to boost local supply chains, reduce dependence on imports, and create a resilient ecosystem that supports rapid technology development and production scaling.

Africa Aerospace and Defence Expo serves as a key platform for showcasing emerging defence technologies, attracting international partners, and fostering collaboration that could accelerate India's strategic objectives and global defence footprint.
