New Delhi: The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has transferred the technology of bullet-proof jackets to MKU Limited, Kanpur, for manufacturing these for the Indian Army and para-military force personnel.

DRDO Chairman and Secretary, Department of Defence R&D, S. Christopher handed over the technology at a function here on Wednesday where documents and related licence agreement between DRDO and MKU Limited were exchanged.

The technology of this bullet-proof jacket has been developed by Defence Materials and Stores Research and Development Establishment (DMSRDE), a Kanpur-based premier laboratory of DRDO.

This technology is challenging and one of the most significant matured personal protection systems developed by DRDO among the various GSQRs of Indian Army meeting NIJ III+ Standard, which refers to Ballistic Resistance of a Body Armour.

How different is it from the BPJ's made by MKU?

Paper Bullet proof

MKU Limited
It's one of India's most successful defense companies and India's largest defense exporter

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

MKU Limited
It's one of India's most successful defense companies and India's largest defense exporter

Largest exporter?

Considering indias total exports are less than 300 million (including civilian aero sector etc)... wonder whats MKUS TURNOUT?

It's a good sign that DRDO is handing over the production to firms like MKU which produce products of the highest standards and quality instead of PSUs which end up screwing most products no matter how good the design is.

GoI should offer more contracts to Tonbo as they have world class imaging products and have been selling those to many NATO units worldwide.

Tech transfer of the newly developed assault rifles like the Amogh Carbine, Excalibur, Ghatak AR, MCIWS, Dhanush Howitzer, ATAGS should be given to private Indian defense firms and the OFBs/Gun Carriage Factories should be privatized in order to increase the rate of production, create a healthy competition and a defense production ecosystem among private players which can eventually pave way for private firms to invest more on defense R&D and exports
