"There is a tremendous transformation taking place in the areas of sensor technologies and the world is moving towards highly miniaturised wireless and wearable sensors," Reddy said here after inaugurating a Technical Meet and Aerospace Luminary Lecture.
The event has been organised by the Aeronautical Society of India in collaboration with Sensors Research Society of India.
Reddy, who is the present Chairman of Aeronautical Society of India said, "We need to take up focussed research for the design and development of futuristic sensors for our diversified aerospace and defence projects."
Space Applications Centre (SAC), ISRO, Ahmedabad, director Tapan Misra, who delivered the first lecture on space sensors said "in the quest to connect the benefit of space based observations to the advantage of common man, SAC has conceived and launched a spectrum of Optical and Microwave payloads."
