CoE (Protech) was established in 2008-09 with one time grant received from Ministry of Textiles, GoI to assist all stakeholders:
• create awareness
• promote state of art technology• promote state of art technology
• product development;
• preparation of standards and specifications
• and facilities to undertake testing as per national and international standards.

Indian armed forces being the major users of
protective textiles, CoE has critically examined
QR’s/Specifications of protective textiles used by
them with an objective to identify whether thesethem with an objective to identify whether these
specifications match with the state-of-art technology
and address if gaps exist.
CoE hopes that this exercise will help in providing
maximum protection to Indian armed forces
CoE examined the specifications of
• Bullet proof jackets,
• Combat clothing,
• Canvas tent fabrics and
• Woolen blankets
They were critically analyzed for the level protection
against - missiles, fire and heat.
Recommendations are made wherever necessary to
have highest degree of protection
Recommendations are also made to provide
operational efficiency, maximum comfort and smarter
look to the wearer
Technical Specification of Light Weight Bullet Proof Jackets
IV-21011/10/2009-Prov. I
Recently MHA finalized the above specification
as per NIJ Standard (National Institute of Justice)as per NIJ Standard (National Institute of Justice)
of Ballistic Resistance of Personal Body Armour
(NIJ Standard -010104) – Threat Level III A
Bullet-proof jackets available with most police
departments are of the grading III A — designed to
withstand small arms fire from handguns and carbines at
a range of 5 metres.
Limitations….
Light Weight Bullet Proof Jackets
IV-21011/10/2009-Prov. I
These jackets, the experts say, provide inadequate safety
against machine gun fire or AK 47 bullets.
Even handgun shots from a range closer than 5 metres
can be fatal despite the jacket
E Clause. Weight Jacket
Exisiting:
Total weight Jacket including Hard and Soft armourpanels, trauma pads and other carrier should notexceed 6.31 Kg and 6.62 Kg for std. and large sizesrespectively

Requirements for
Advanced Integrated Combat Clothing System
– Physical
• durability to prolonged exposure to inclement weather and heavy wear
• good tensile and tear strength and abrasion resistance
– Environmental
• water repellency, wind proof• water repellency, wind proof
• Battlefield (good camouflage & low noise generation)
– Physiological
• low weight, easy to wear, minimum heat stress
• air, moisture and vapor permeability
• comfort and good appearance
Specifications P/C 50:50
Disruptive Pattern Printed Cloth
• Construction details
• Fiber composition
• Breaking strength• Breaking strength
• Heat Shrinkage
• Dimensional change
• Scouring loss &pH
• Color Fastness
• The existing specifications do not speakabout certain other properties related towear, comfort and safety which dependupon the varying battle field conditions.
• Besides, combat uniform should alsoprovide high mobility and smart look toprovide high mobility and smart look tothe soldier.
Revise the specifications for
• Durability
• Operational efficiency
Wear properties In general mechanical
properties such as tensile, tear and
bursting strengths indicate the fabric
wear property. However for combat
uniform in addition to these general
wear properties, it is essential to Abrasion resistance should also bewear properties, it is essential to
measure wear resistance in terms of
abrasion.
Abrasion resistance should also be
included as one of the requirements.
The requirement should be such that there should not be
“thread breaks” up to 50,000 abrasion cycles when tested as
per IS: 12673:1989.
Comfort Properties To
enhance comfort properties of
the Indian solider the following
two requirements may be added
to the existing specifications.
Air permeability of the fabric shall be at leastAir permeability of the fabric shall be at least
5 cc/sec/cm2 when tested according to IS
11056:1984.
Water vapor permeability (water method)
shall be 1400 g/m2/day (Minimum) when
tested according to ASTM E-96
Safety (Heat or flame resistant properties)
The presence of synthetic material such as polyester if exposed
to heat or flame melts and sticks to skin causing severe burns.
Combat uniforms having heat or flame resistance properties is
essential in the present day context..
The use of either FR fibers or FR coating should also be included in
the present specifications to meet surface ignition test when
tested as per ISO 15025 (no hole formation, no melting and no
dripping).
Wrinkle Recovery Although wrinkle recovery
property of the combat clothing is not directly
linked to the performance of the fabric during
the battle but good wrinkle recovery cloth
makes smarter look to the solider.
Therefore it is recommended that the
WR rating (after 24 hours) of the
combat shall be minimum 4 when
tested according to AATCC 128-2004.
Color specification In the developed countries,
camouflage print Colors often include khaki,
green, brown and black, with additional colors
such as olive, yellow, orange, pink, grey, beige
and sand to extend use to other urban, rural
and desert backgroundsand desert backgrounds
In India, almost same camouflage print (mostly developedusing khaki, green, brown and black) is used for all types ofsurroundings. If the solider is engaged in the urban area,he/she should have such type of camouflage print uniformthat matches with the urban surroundings. In such case theuse of dark green and black need to be minimized.
Color specification Most of thespecifications do not provide the colorvalues leading to subjective decisionswhile making pass/fail decision
Therefore it is suggested that the
specifications should also include
CIE color values.
