Two of the directors chosen are scientists Parvathaneni Shiva Prasad of the Research Centre Imarat (RCI) and Ramakrishnan Raghavan of the Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory (DMRL). They will be function as completely independent directors of their respective labs. The directors have been finalised by a committee chaired by Principal Scientific Advisor K. Vijayaraghavan. The push for the labs came in August 2014 when Narendra Modi suggested DRDO give young talent in India opportunities and leadership abilities in challenging areas of science.

The five research laboratories are:

  1. Artificial Intelligence at Bengaluru.
  2. Quantum technologies at IIT Bombay.
  3. Cognitive Technologies at IIT Madras.
  4. Asymmetric Technologies at Kolkata.
  5. Smart materials at Hyderabad.
