DRDO Develops Lightest Bulletproof Jacket
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India has recently unveiled the country’s lightest bulletproof jacket, designed by the Defence Materials and Stores Research and Development Establishment (DMSRDE) in Kanpur. This jacket is the first in India to meet the highest threat level 6 according to BIS 17051 standards, offering superior protection against 7.62 x 54 R API ammunition. It features a cutting-edge design with a monolithic ceramic plate and polymer backing that improves durability, wearability, and comfort. This innovation not only bolsters the safety of security personnel but also demonstrates DRDO’s dedication to advancing indigenous defense technologies and reducing reliance on imports.
