Combat Aircraft Systems Development & Integration Centre

The Combat Aircraft Systems Development & Integration Centre (CASDIC) is a laboratory of the Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). Located in Bangalore, Karnataka, India, it is one of the two DRDO laboratories involved in the research and development of airborne electronic warfare and mission avionics systems.

The organisation was established in 1986 as a Project Laboratory, then named "Advanced Systems Integration and Evaluation Organisation" (ASIEO). Dr. K. G. Narayanan headed ASIEO from its inception till 2002. The founding members of ASIEO were R.P Ramalingam , S Bimalkhedkar, Gp Capt (Retd) D.Venkateswarlu, V Desikan , Wg Cdr (Retd) Anil Kaistha and CV Krishna rao.

On 1 June 2001, ASIEO became a full-fledged Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) laboratory and was renamed as the Defence Avionics Research Establishment (DARE).

Combat Aircraft Systems Development & Integration Centre (CASDIC), previously known as Defence Avionics Research Establishment (DARE), is placed as a Self-Accounting Unit under administrative control of the Defence Electronics Research Laboratory (DLRL), Hyderabad on 1 Apr 2021. The current director of CASDIC is CH Durga Prasad.

In 2021, CASDIC was part of a group of Indian research and development (R&D) agencies and organisations that developed the critical avionic line-replaceable units (LRUs) for the HAL Tejas. As of 2024, CASDIC is also working on the Super Sukhoi upgrade programme for the Indian Air Force's Sukhoi Su-30MKI fleet.

CASDIC has rich experience in developing internal and pod based electronic warfare (EW) systems for combat platforms, sensor integration and cooling systems development. It is one of the two laboratories of DRDO that works on electronic warfare systems, along with the Defence Electronics Research Laboratory.

Survivability of military aircraft in the modern combat scenario of sophisticated air defence weapon systems is of paramount importance. This can only be achieved by equipping them with electronic armor consisting of advanced EW Systems. DARE has developed a range of state-of-the art EW suites for military aircraft. Systems developed include versatile Radar warning receivers (RWR), podded jammers and integrated EW suites. These systems have added electronic teeth to the carrier platforms.

D-29 is an integrated EW system for Radar warning and jamming that encompasses RWR, ECM, ESM functions and utilizes state-of-the-art active phased arrays for selectively jamming the multiple threat radars for use onboard Indian Mikoyan MiG-29s. The D-29 system serves primarily as a self-protection jammer that will boost survivability, enhance situation awareness and increase mission effectiveness.
