== History ==
In 1958, the Indian government constituted a team of engineers, mostly from the [[Indian Ordnance Factories Service]] - called the '''Special Weapons Development Team''' - to research guided missile weapons development. It was founded by [[S. P. Chakravarti]], the father of Electronics and Telecommunication engineering in India, who also founded the DLRL and the [[Electronics and Radar Development Establishment]] (LRDE).<ref>{{cite journal |url=https://in.booksc.eu/book/53133498/850b31 |title=Prof. S.P.
