Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) and IIT Delhi have developed lightweight bulletproof jackets named ABHED, utilising advanced materials to meet high threat levels.
These jackets are designed for enhanced protection while ensuring compliance with the Indian Army’s weight specifications.

ABHED Bulletproof Jackets:

The jackets are made from polymers and indigenous boron carbide ceramic material.
Their design is based on the characterization of various materials at high strain rates, with advanced modelling and simulation techniques.
