In a major boost to India’s indigenous defence and aerospace ambitions, the Andhra Pradesh government has extended full support for setting up a world-class Aircraft Integration & Flight Testing Complex at Puttaparthi in the Sri Sathya Sai district.
The proposed facility, to be developed by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) under the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), is expected to become a key centre for aircraft assembly, systems integration, and flight testing for India’s next-generation combat aircraft and unmanned aerial systems programmes.
