New Delhi: The government could consider possible sale of DRDO-developed products and systems like radars, missiles and torpedoes to friendly countries, the Parliament was told today.
Informing the Rajya Sabha about the export by India of three Hull-Mounted Sonar systems to Myanmar, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said in a written reply that DRDO has developed sonars for Indian Navy and transferred technology to Indian industries for manufacture and supply of the same to Indian Navy.
