Strategic Implications for Defence Exports

By showcasing indigenous technological advancements, India is positioning itself as a reliable partner in the global defence market. This development aligns with the government’s “Atmanirbhar Bharat” initiative, aiming to bolster self-reliance in defence manufacturing.

Future Prospects
Looking ahead, the successful export of the Su-30 aircrew helmet is expected to pave the way for other DRDO-developed technologies to enter international markets. Continued innovation and collaboration with global partners will further strengthen India’s position in the global defence sector.
