DRDO establishes DRDO Industry Academia Centre of Excellence(DIA-CoE) at premier and capable academic Institutes and Universities in the country to build Directed Research Eco-system through collaboration among DRDO labs, Academia and Startups/Industries. DIA-CoEs will pursue research both in developing the cutting-edge technologies and in the areas of denied defence technologies

The primary aim of establishing such DIA-CoEs is to harness & synergize the combined strength of academia, student community, research fellows, niche technology industries & DRDO scientist to provide impetus to research & innovations in identified futuristic defence technological domains. These DIA-CoEs will boost & sustain development of advanced technologies for future defence systems and platforms through multi-disciplinary & multi-institutional collaborative efforts. DRDO has established 15 Nos. of DIA-CoEs so far. Following are the research verticals of these CoEs:.
