 INNOVATION IN DEFENCE EXCELLENCE(iDEX)

 The Innovations for Defence Excellence (iDEX) framework was formulated in

order to promote the smaller enterprises, startups and innovators, which have the
competence to supply the Indian military with innovative and ingenious
technological solutions.

 The primary objective to implement the iDEX framework, Defence Innovation

Organization (DIO) was set up as a Section 8 Company. with the primary objective
of self-reliance and indigenization in Defence & aerospace sector of the country
bolsters the “Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan” of the Government.
 iDEX : BACKGROUND

A special effort was required to reach out and engage the smaller
enterprises, startups and innovators, which have the competence,
flexibility and adaptability to supply the Indian military with innovative
and ingenious technological solutions.
To implement the iDEX framework, Defence Innovation Organization
(DIO) was set up as a Section 8 Company. iDEX was formally
launched during DefExpo 2018 by the Hon'ble Prime Minister.

Moreover, iDEX-DIO is relevant to further the objectives laid out for

this Department under the “Atmanirbhar Bharat” package, mainly self-
reliance in Defence Production and reduction in Defence Import Bill.
 INNOVATION IN DEFENCE EXCELLENCE(iDEX)
 Facilitate rapid development of new, indigenized, and innovative
technologies for the Indian defence and aerospace sector, to meet needs for
these sectors in shorter timelines
 Create a culture of engagement with innovative startups, to encourage co-
creation for defence and aerospace sectors
 Empower a culture of technology co-creation and co-innovation within the
defence and aerospace sectors.
Adoption of innovation requires execution of three critical functions:
 Co-Innovation/co-creation - Discovery and exploration of existing technologies, or
development of relevant technologies
 Piloting of candidate technologies in important platforms, with quick feedback to the
innovators
 Indigenization of various defence and aerospace related platforms being manufactured in
the country based on ToT
