Institute for Systems Studies and Analyses (ISSA)

Historical Background

The origin of Institute for Systems Studies and Analyses (ISSA) dates back to 1959 as Weapon Evaluation Group (WEG) of DRDO. As the activities of WEG increased, it was renamed as Scientific Evaluation Group (SEG) in 1963, and, later from the year 1968 it started functioning as Directorate of Scientific Evaluation (DSE) of DRDO Headquarters.

Consequent to the reorganisation of System Analysis activities within DRDO, in the year 1980, DSE was reorganized into ISSA located at Delhi with a Centre for Aeronautical Systems Studies and Analysis (CASSA) at Bangalore. CASSA was merged with ISSA during 2003.

ISSA has grown to be the nodal System Analysis Laboratory of DRDO specializing in System Analysis, Modeling and Simulation of Defence Systems as well as development of Computer Wargames, Performance Evaluation and Systems Reliability Studies.

Vision
To be a leader in Systems Analysis, Modeling and Simulation of defence systems.
Mission
To Develop expertise and software for application in Decision Support Systems, Computer Wargames and Weapon Systems Analyses.
