-In 1958, the government of India constituted a team of Indian engineers, mostly from the [[Indian Ordnance Factories]]- called the '''Special Weapons Development Team''' - to research guided missile weapons development. This team was later expanded into DRDL, a full-fledged laboratory, in June 1961, at the campus of Defence Science Centre, Delhi.<ref name="drdl-about">{{Cite web |url=http://drdo.gov.in/drdo/labs/DRDL/English/index.jsp?pg=HistoricalBG.jsp |title=http://drdo.gov.in/drdo/labs1/DRDL/English/indexnew.jsp?pg=about-lab.jsp |access-date=2012-05-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120210112328/http://drdo.gov.in/drdo/labs/DRDL/English/index.jsp?pg=HistoricalBG.jsp |archive-date=2012-02-10 |url-status=dead }}</ref> It later shifted to Hyderabad after the state government granted them the former Nizam's army barracks.
