What is the News?
A Bengaluru-based Startup has developed a tactical battery called ‘Pravaig Field Pack’. It is planning to sell this to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s(NATO) forces in Europe.
What is Pravaig Field Pack?
Pravaig Field Pack is a portable heavy-duty power bank battery.
Purpose: It can be used to energize military personnel equipment and to deploy remote sensors. It can even be used to operate larger military equipment like drones and even coordinate tactical operations involving multiple weapons systems.
Developed by: These batteries are designed, engineered and made in India.
Significance: This battery is of great utility to the military personnel who have to operate in high-risk zones like Ukraine and Libya while using gadgets that require constant power back-up.
Moreover, the supply of this battery to NATO marks a major shift in the defence landscape of India — a tipping point in the reversal of India’s high technology defence industry from users to developers, from importers to exporters.
Source: The post is based on the article “Indian company produces tactical battery for battlefield conditions” published in The Hindu on 16th May 2022.
