Q1Consider the following Assertion and Reason about ADITI. Assertion: Defence-technology startups can receive grant-in-aid of up to Rs 25 crore under ADITI. Reason: This support is meant for research, development and innovation. Choose the correct answer.
The Assertion is true because ADITI makes defence-technology startups eligible for grant-in-aid of up to Rs 25 crore. The Reason is also true because the grant is for research, development and innovation, and this purpose explains why the grant-in-aid exists. Claims that either part is false, or that the true Reason is unrelated, do not match the cited fact.
Q2Consider the following statements about Light Combat Aircraft Tejas: 1. On July 1, 2023, the indigenous LCA completed seven years of service in the Indian Air Force. 2. The aircraft was christened Tejas in 2003. 3. It is designed only for the air-defence role and not for maritime reconnaissance or strike roles. 4. No. 45 Squadron, the Flying Daggers, was the first IAF squadron to induct Tejas. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1, 2 and 4 are correct. Statement 3 is false because the PIB release says Tejas is designed for air defence, maritime reconnaissance and strike roles.
Q31. DRDO handed over AHSP of the Akash Weapon System to MSQAA in Hyderabad on December 3, 2022. 2. Research Centre Imarat was the nodal agency that designed and developed the Akash weapon system. 3. Akash is an indigenous surface-to-air missile system inducted by both the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statement 1 is correct: the AHSP transfer to MSQAA occurred in Hyderabad on December 3, 2022. Statement 2 is incorrect because DRDL, not Research Centre Imarat, is named as the nodal agency. Statement 3 is correct because Akash is described as an indigenous surface-to-air missile system inducted by the Indian Army and Indian Air Force.
Q4Consider the following statements about India's Integrated Air Defence Weapon System: 1. IADWS is a multi-layered air defence system. 2. IADWS comprises QRSAM, VSHORADS missiles and a high-power laser-based Directed Energy Weapon. 3. IADWS is controlled by a Centralised Command and Control Centre developed by the Defence Research & Development Laboratory. Which of the statements given above are correct?
All three statements are correct. The PIB release defines IADWS as a multi-layered system, lists QRSAM, VSHORADS and a high-power laser-based DEW as components, and says integrated operation is controlled by a centralised centre developed by DRDL.
Q5Consider the following statements about ATAGS: 1. DRDO proof-fired the armament system for a 155 mm x 52 calibre Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System. 2. Defence Research & Development Laboratory, Hyderabad, is the nodal DRDO laboratory for ATAGS design and development. 3. ATAGS was stated to have a firing range of 40 km. 4. ATAGS is configured with all-electric drive. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1, 3 and 4 are correct: the PIB release specifies 155 mm x 52 calibre, a 40 km range and all-electric drive. Statement 2 is false because ARDE, Pune, not DRDL Hyderabad, is named as the nodal DRDO laboratory for ATAGS.
