Asia's first Ballistic Research Centre will soon be opened in Gujarat capital Gandhinagar.
The ballistic research centre will help India in achieving self-reliance in testing of armored vehicles, and will be functioning at the Gujarat Forensic Science University (GFSU) in Gandhinagar.
GFSU's Director General J M Vyas said that the ballistic research centre will conduct tests for armored vehicles of the Indian Army and also provide services to private players who supply vehicles to the VIPs.
