Dr Chandramouli Gaddamanugu has been one of the central figures behind Akash, the indigenous surface-to-air missile system that became one of India’s most significant defence achievements.
A former Outstanding Scientist and Project Director of Akash at DRDL, Hyderabad, he spent more than 34 years working on the programme from its earliest stage to its eventual induction into the Indian Army and Indian Air Force.
