Source summary

Develop an indigenous combat-aviator ensemble for Indian Army helicopter crews operating in high-threat, low-altitude and harsh-climate conditions. The protective vest and clothing system should address small-arms fire, fragments, crash impact and post-crash fire while remaining lightweight, ergonomic, mobile, comfortable over long missions, compatible with the cockpit and restraints, and free of new operational or safety risks.
