DRDO Develops Jam-Proof Actuator for Indian Fighter Jets

A revolutionary development from the DRDO promises to elevate the capabilities of Indian air power. The organization has initiated a project focused on creating a ‘Jam-Tolerant Geared Rotary Actuator,’ a critical component designed to guarantee uninterrupted control of aircraft systems amidst electronic warfare or internal malfunctions. This advanced actuator translates electrical power into precise mechanical movements, essential for controlling flight surfaces, landing gear, and weapon bays. Its resilience against jamming means aircraft will remain stable and accurate, a crucial advantage, especially for stealth platforms with complex internal systems. The DRDO anticipates this technology will be a cornerstone for future defense programs, including the AMCA, and bolster India’s independent aerospace ambitions.
