=== Vision and mission ===

Being a design and development house for missile-based weapon systems needed for tactical applications across manymultiple platforms is the organization's objective. Its aim is to create the cutting-edge technology and infrastructure needed for various class of missiles. Give the production agency the required technology for the guided missiles manufacturing.<ref name="drdl-vm">[http://drdo.gov.in/drdo/labs1/DRDL/English/indexnew.jsp?pg{{Cite web |title=homepage.jsp "DRDL - Homepage |{{!}} Defence Research & Development Laboratory DRDO DRDO"].

The DRDO launched [[Project Devil]] and [[Project Valiant]] to reverse engineer Soviet-origin guided missiles and create intercontinental ballistic missiles, respectively, which prompted the DRDL to begin developing missile guidance systems. Although both initiatives were abandoned before they were successful, the work completed aided DRDL in increasing its capacity. Afterwards, this assisted DRDL in leading the [[Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme|Integrated Guided Missiles Development Program]] (IGMDP). By 2011, India started producing cutting-edge components in-house and was fully independent in end-to-end missile development.<ref name=":0" />
