Design and Development of a Proximity Sensor for Paratrooping and Skydiving

Source

Source summary

Develop a compact body-worn proximity sensor that gives parachutists an audible warning when approaching ground, buildings or other hard surfaces. The source seeks operation over the stated descent range, irrespective of body orientation, in day/night and adverse conditions including fog and dust. It must be rugged, water-resistant and battery-powered for a full jump with reserve. These are unvalidated safety requirements, not assurance that all-weather detection is achievable.

No. 417Problem statementMobility and logistics

Indigenous development of door control unit (DCU) and gear motor for automatic operation of platform screen doors at metro stations. these platform screen doors are for passenger safety and isolates platform from track.

Develop platform-screen-door control units and geared motors for metro stations, with SIL3 safety requirements. The system must detect obstacles, adjust door timing and synchronise left/right doors to maintain the barrier between passengers and tracks.

Design of a steering console for an underwater vessel

Develop an underwater steering console integrating vehicle-motion measurements and control information. The source includes depth, speed, heading and trim, real-time serial inputs and manual, automatic and emergency modes. Detailed control implementation is omitted from this military-system overview.

No. 428Problem statementMobility and logistics

Design of electro-magnetic velocity log for navigation of underwater vessels.

Develop an electromagnetic velocity log for underwater navigation, supporting operating and simulation modes. The visible source gives a basic equipment requirement rather than a detailed user workflow or demonstrated measurement performance.
