💨 Abstract

The DRDO and IIT-Delhi have developed lightweight bulletproof jackets, named 'ABHED', providing 360-degree protection against high threat levels. The jackets, made from polymers and indigenous boron carbide ceramic material, are lighter than the Indian Army's maximum weight limits. The DRDO is set to transfer the technology to three industries, and the jackets have passed all necessary R&D trials.
