India today is the recognized world leader in advanced high tech and missile guidance and propulsion systems. The advancement is proceeding so fast that many countries including the Western nations are eager to partner with India.
A wide range of activities on the latest missiles and aerospace technology is making India most advanced in the field. Many countries are looking to it for further development of this technology and work together.
"Besides Europe, two to three more countries are looking to us for development and have expressed desire to work with us," Prahlada, Director Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), said in Hyderabad.
Without naming the countries other than Europe, Prahlada said that these countries are willing to work on short or long-term basis.
"We in DRDL are developing futuristic technologies for next generation weapon applications.
