DRDO Develops Indigenous Gallium Nitride Chip Technology for Defence Applications
India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has successfully developed indigenous Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductor technology for high-frequency defence applications, including next-generation radars and electronic warfare systems. A compact 3.5 x 3 mm GaN chip delivers up to 30 watts of power and operates 300 times faster than silicon-based chips. This advancement, detailed in the Ministry of Defence's FY25-26 report, includes X-band Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits and S-band High Electron-Mobility Transistor components, enhancing capabilities in radar, communications, surveillance, and unmanned systems.
