For the first time, women police and paramilitary personnel in India will have customised “women centric” body protection gear or full body protector (FBP).
The FBP can withstand various threats as it is anti-stab, anti-puncture, anti-impact and fire and acid resistant.
It is developed by the Defence Institute of Physiology & Allied Science (DIPAS), New Delhi.
Established in 1962, DIPAS functions under DRDO.
It works for optimization of human performance in different occupational environment conditions using physiological, biochemical, nutritional and ergonomic approach.
DRDO will grant five licences for mass manufacture of the product.
