C. V. R. College of Engineering, Ibrahimpatnam, near Hyderabad has undertaken five technology development projects with relevance to the defence sector.

The projects are fully funded by the Defence Research and Development Organisation to the tune of Rs 50 lakh, Raghava V. Cherabuddi, President and Chairman of the College, told newspersons here on Saturday.

Three of these projects have been technically approved and are in the advanced stages of production.

The projects are related to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, special purpose data acquisition system, multi-carrier CDMA spread spectrum and phase array antenna-based radar.
