The Defence Research &amp; Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi have collaborated to develop Light Weight Bullet Proof Jackets called ABHED (Advanced Ballistics for High Energy Defeat).<br \/>\n2. These jackets were developed at the DRDO Industry Academia Centre of Excellence (DIA-CoE) at IIT Delhi.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 11.6979%;\"><strong>Features<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 88.3021%;\">1. The jackets are made from polymers and indigenous boron carbide ceramic material.<br \/>\n2. The design is based on the characterisation of various materials at high strain rates, followed by appropriate modelling and simulation in collaboration with DRDO.<br \/>\n3. These modular-design jackets provide 360-degree protection with both front and rear armour plates.<br \/>\n4. The jackets have a minimum weight of 8.2 kg and 9.5 kg for different BIS levels.<br \/>\n5. The jackets meet the highest threat level standards and are lighter than the maximum weight limits specified in the General Staff Qualitative Requirement of the Indian Army.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>UPSC Syllabus: Defence\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source \u2013\u00a0This post on ABHED Light Weight Bullet Proof Jackets is based on the article \u201cDRDO &amp; IIT Delhi develop ABHED Light Weight Bullet Proof Jackets\u201d published in PIB\u00a0on\u00a026th September 2024.
