India must make its defence chips end-to-end, say scientists

Scientists at The Hindu Semiconductor Summit have warned India that its reliance on imported defence chips makes its network-centric weapons vulnerable to cyber threats. They suggest that India must develop its defence chips end-to-end, from design to manufacturing, to ensure the security and reliability of its military systems. This is crucial for India's national security, as waiting until 2030-35 for advanced chip technology would be too late to address the growing threats.

Why it matters

Indian scientists are emphasizing the need for indigenous defence chips, which could lead to increased investment and development in the sector. This could benefit Indian defence companies and the economy.
