Can you tell me in detail about the DRDO - FICCI Accelerated Technology Assessment and Commercialization (ATAC) Program offered by DRDO – FICCI?

The DRDO - FICCI Accelerated Technology Assessment and Commercialization (ATAC) programme aims to create a commercial pathway to deliver technologies developed by DRDO for appropriate commercial markets for use in civilian products and services.

It is first of its kind to be undertaken by DRDO in association with FICCI to actively draw out several of DRDO's technologies for appropriate commercial markets both countrywide and globally.

In the very first year of operation of the programme as many as 26 DRDO labs across India were participating and over 200 technologies were being assessed under the programme by FICCI.

The technologies that are currently assessed are from sectors as diverse as electronics, robotics, advanced computing and simulation, Avionics, optronics, precision engineering, special materials, engineering systems, instrumentation, acoustic technologies, life sciences, disaster management technologies, information systems, etc.

FICCI along with the IC2 Institute of Texas University has identified a few technologies which were at first only exposed to the defence sector.


The programme process comprises the following steps:

Technology Assessment:
High Level Quantitative and Qualitative Evaluations
Extensive Interviews and Analysis
QuickLook Scan

Business Development:
Business Development Plan
Identifying Business Partners
Industry Interface via Visits, Calls and Follow-ups
Licensing Agreement
