History
DEBEL was formed in April 1976 by bringing together the Aero Electroengineering Unit (AEEU) of ADE and the Electromedical Instrumentation Division (EMID) of LRDE, located nearby. Since 23 June 1992, the facility has been functioning from its own independent premises located at the ADE campus.
Today, DEBEL is one of the few DRDO laboratories dedicated to both R & D work for the Services and also spin off use to the civilian population.
