- DRDO has a Field Research laboratory at Leh which concentrates on High Altitude Agriculture, Poultry and Animal Husbandry. Also SASE of DRDO has detachments at Srinagar and many other places in the valley which in collaboration with the Department of Science and Technology works on mountain meteorology, and they give avalanche prediction to the Armed Forces and Civilian Sectors. Communication and Remote Sensing Data provided by ISRO is widely being used by Geologists and Communication Specialists. The Indian Astronaumical Obersvatory (IAO) the high altitude station of IIA, is situated at an altitude of 4500 metres above MSL to the north of western Himalayas. The cloudless skies and low atmospheric water vapour make it one of the best sites in the world for optical, infrared sub millimeter and millimeter wavelengths.
