Digital Desk: DRDO's Defence Materials and Stores Research and Development Establishment (DMSRDE), Kanpur, has achieved a significant milestone in the realm of defense technology by unveiling the lightest bulletproof jacket in India. Designed to meet the highest threat level, known as Level 6, this jacket offers unparalleled protection against 7.62 x 54 R API ammunition, a caliber commonly used in sniper rifles.
The standout feature of this innovative jacket lies in its front Hard Armour Panel (HAP), which showcases remarkable resilience by withstanding multiple hits of the 7.62 x 54 R API rounds. What makes this jacket truly remarkable is its ergonomically designed HAP, which comprises a monolithic ceramic plate with a polymer backing. This design not only ensures maximum protection but also enhances wearability and comfort during prolonged operations.
One of the key achievements of this development is the remarkable reduction in weight. With an areal density of less than 40 kg/m2 for the in-conjunction with (ICW) design and 43 kg/m2 for the standalone design, this jacket sets a new standard in lightweight protection, allowing soldiers to maneuver more effectively in challenging environments.
The successful testing of this bulletproof jacket at TBRL, Chandigarh, in accordance with BIS 17051-2018, underscores its reliability and effectiveness in real-world scenarios. This breakthrough reaffirms DRDO's commitment to pushing the boundaries of technological innovation in defense and security, ultimately enhancing the safety and effectiveness of our armed forces.
