No doubt bullet injuries are more lethal, but fungal infections that tend to nourish on the inner side of helmets during deployment of combatants in tropical and rainy terrains, impede the efficiency/performance by hitting on concentration of soldier in battlefield. Harness/Padding system on the inner hull of helmet can often soak up and retain high levels of moisture in tropical and damp environments.It is an important requirement for agencies facilitating soldiers operating in the jungle environment with proper and quality head gears to overcome itching and related issues when helmets are being worn over an extended period of time.

Need for lighter ballistic protection gears to maximise soldier’s mobility is continually being felt with advancement in weapon science. Referring to the ongoing progression in the area of soldier modernization, integrating electronic and communication devices to existing body armour is relentlessly being practised by armies all over the world. Integration of electronic systems results to added situational awareness along with constant interaction and directives from command centre.

Militaries all over the world are in the process of upgrading their ageing land platforms due continually evolving technologically advanced threats. Anti-tank mines and IEDs have become the weapon of choice in recent years, resulting to the urgent need of APC and other armoured vehicles with enhanced protection. APC and Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFV) help in maintaining edge over the enemy’s act of border trespassing by aggressively reacting to the act of insurgency and that too with fearless approach.

Extended duties on the battlefield and prolonged nature of low intensity conflict have got militaries around the world to rethink their war strategies and the development of combat gear needed to cope with such scenarios.

Today, conflict situations are hi-tech and wars short, fast moving and intense. To cope with these diversely asymmetric, multi-dimensional and highly lethal imperatives of the battlefield, global armies are modernizing their military arsenal and getting soldiers geared up with the latest in combat and surveillance technology.

How often have we heard of this scene. A member of a bomb disposal squad moves forward cautiously towards an unexploded device, hoping to defuse it.
