<b>Instruments Research & Development Establishment (IRDE) -Historical Background</b>
Instruments Research & Development Establishment (IRDE), Dehradun, is an institution devoted to research, design, development and technology transfer in the fields of sophisticated optical and electro-optical instrumentation of vital interest to the Defence Services. The origin of IRDE dates back to the establishment of Inspectorate of Scientific Stores in 1939 at Rawalpindi (now in Pakistan) with responsibility to inspect telecommunication equipment used by the Army. This had the role of Authority for Holding Sealed Particulars (AHSP).
This AHSP underwent many organisational changes until it took the shape of Technical Development Establishment (Instruments and Electronics) covering both R&D and AHSP functions in the fields of instruments & electronics and was located at Dehradun. The Establishment, during the subsequent years, shed some of its R&D and AHSP responsibilities and came into existence, in its present form, in February 1960.
<b>Instruments Research & Development Establishment (IRDE) - Achievements</b>
A large number of modules have been designed and produced to meet various system requirements like target surveillance and/ or acquisition at various ranges and having desired weights and volumes of the systems to address the space envelope for different types of platforms.
From simple stand-alone day sights, IRDE has graduated to complex multi-disciplinary EO systems like Integrated Fire Control Systems for AFVs and Infra-Red Search & Track Systems for naval ships and helicopters.
In-house capability has been acquired for the design, manufacture, thin-film coating of glass, germanium and metal optics. Similarly, CAD and CNC facilities are available for the fabrication of intricate mechanical components.
<b>Centre for Fire, Environment & Explosive Safety(CFEES) - Historical Background </b>
This establishment presently known by the name as CFEES (Centre for Fire, Environment & Explosive Safety) got its name in 2003. Before that its name was CEES.
The CEES was established in the year 1992 by the merger of three erstwhile establishments viz. (I) DRDO Computer Centre, Delhi, (ii) Directorate of Explosives Safety, DRDO, HQ, and (iii) Fire Adviserâs Office DRDO, HQ..
In year 2000 another DRDO Lab âDefence Institute of Fire Research (DIFR)â was merged with CEES and the merged entity continued to be named as CEES.
In order to emphasize important activity of Fire Science of this lab, Government renamed CEES as CFEES in 2003.
<b>Centre for Fire, Environment & Explosive Safety(CFEES) - Achievements </b>
Designed and developed Integrated Fire Detection and Suppression Systems for battle tanks MBT, T71, ICV (Abhay).
Developed Technology for Treatment and Stablization of Heavy Metal (Pb, Cr, Hg, Cd, Zn etc.) at pilot plant level for the Effluents being generated in the Ordnance Factories.
Developed Technology for removal of Nitro bodies (HMX, RDX) based on neutralization and alkaline hydrolysis for HMX plant effluents. TOT document ready for its use.
Developed expertise in the area of establishing ground water monitoring network for any project site for assessment of environment contamination.
Developed process technology for Coal Pitch based Activated Carbon Spheroids at lab scale for adsorption of harmful chemical vapours by the protective gears.
Designed and tested New nozzles for generation of water mist working at low pressure of 2-4 bars for fire fighting.
Installed and commissioned Smoke Test Tunnel for creating fire signatures under various conditions.
National Halon Banking & Management facility has been setup and made operational. Impure Halon of different kind can be purified to acceptable level and stored.
Developed Software package for Virtual Fire-Fighting and Fire-Training Simulation.
Specialized Training in Fire Safety and Fire Prevention, Management related Programme are being conducted regularly for fire fighters and officers of all Defense establishments.
<b>Institute for Systems Studies and Analyses (ISSA) - Historical Background</b>
The origin of Institute for Systems Studies and Analyses (ISSA) dates back to 1959 as Weapon Evaluation Group (WEG) of DRDO. As the activities of WEG increased, it was renamed as Scientific Evaluation Group (SEG) in 1963, and, later from the year 1968 it started functioning as Directorate of Scientific Evaluation (DSE) of DRDO Headquarters.
Consequent to the reorganisation of System Analysis activities within DRDO, in the year 1980, DSE was reorganized into ISSA located at Delhi with a Centre for Aeronautical Systems Studies and Analysis (CASSA) at Bangalore. CASSA was merged with ISSA during 2003.
ISSA has grown to be the nodal System Analysis Laboratory of DRDO specializing in System Analysis, Modeling and Simulation of Defence Systems as well as development of Computer Wargames, Performance Evaluation and Systems Reliability Studies.
Vision
To be a leader in Systems Analysis, Modeling and Simulation of defence systems.
Mission
To Develop expertise and software for application in Decision Support Systems, Computer Wargames and Weapon Systems Analyses.
<b>Institute for Systems Studies and Analyses (ISSA) - Achievements</b>
Performance Evaluation of defence systems in simulated combat environment
Analysis of tactical plans by Modeling & Simulation of Combat Dynamics
Combat Simulation and Wargaming Software Development
Decision Support Systems using multidimensional databases
Reliabilty Evaluation and Life Data Analyasis of Systems developed by sister Labs
