Aircrew Protection Vest Army Aviation Pilot

Indian Army Aviation aircrew operate armed helicopters in high-threat, low-altitude environments where exposure to small-arms fire, fragmentation, crash impact, post-crash fire, and harsh climatic conditions is inherent. Existing aircrew clothing and protection arrangements do not provide an integrated, lightweight, and ergonomically optimised personal protection solution tailored for rotary-wing operations. The challenge is to develop an indigenous Combat Aviator Ensemble that enhances survivability while preserving mobility, endurance, cockpit compatibility, and mission effectiveness, without introducing additional operational or safety risks.
