New nano tech to make military equipment lighter & stronger

DPGC partnered with the Robotics Lab at Woxsen College, Hyderabad for designing and growing these prototypes.

An Indian Military soldier has to hold his bulletproof vest (3 kg), weapon (4 kg), ammunition (10 kg), sources like water (3 kg) and different protecting sporting— that’s a minimum of 20 kg— to carry out his responsibility. For sure, this reduces their efficiency and might put them in peril. Army jackets based mostly on molecular nano expertise (MNT) are a lot lighter and have the identical or extra power. MNT is a scientific development the place duplicates are created that are smaller, extra useful, lighter and cheaper than the unique copy. This sort of expertise can have main navy functions.

To equip Indian protection with new-age navy gear, Darwin Platform Group of Firms (DPGC) not too long ago showcased the prototypes of indigenously designed and developed navy gear based mostly on MNT. DPGC partnered with the Robotics Lab at Woxsen College, Hyderabad for designing and growing these prototypes. Beneath the undertaking, the DPGC plans to supply three MNT-based gear—navy jackets, arms and ammunition & laser-guided munition and steering in opposition to laser guided bombs—to the Indian forces.

DPGC Group CEO Raja Roy Choudhury stated, “These scientific and navy developments can be all a part of DPGC’s goal to resonate with the federal government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative. We goal to supply our soldier with new-age navy gear in order that they’ll defend our borders vigorously with out compromising their security.”
