Philosophy of Phase-II Proposal

• Centre Element
• Consisting of shared infrastructure for
  providing support to educational programme and to
  other two elements.
• Project Elements
• Consisting of a large number of Generic and
  Focused Research and Development activities in
  the areas of System Design, Development and
  Integration.
• Awareness Creation Element
• Consisting of conduct of Short term Courses,
  Workshops and Discussion Meetings that CASDE has
  been organizing on a regular basis.

Concluding Remarks

• Phase-II of CASDE is configured as a period for
  consolidation and sustained overall growth.
• It is viewed as a time during which CASDE would
• Achieve Core Competences through Generic Studies
• Develop Applications through Focused Activities
• Create Awareness Disseminate New Knowledge
• Act as a SDE Facilitator to User/Interested
  Agencies
• Phase-II of CASDE is also characterized by its
  efforts to seek a suitable partnership with other
  agencies within, as well as outside of, DRDO.
• We, at CASDE, see our future as an ARDB COE, yet
  requiring only a minimal support from ARDB.
