SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEM
APRIL 2018
STATEMENTS
FOREWORD
In this era of fast evolving world of technology, cost efficient development of indigenous capabilities,
products and technologies, would serve to be the real force multiplier in giving our armed forces the
de ning edge in future battle elds.
The relentless encouragement and enabling policy environment provided by the Government of India
(GoI) through series of reforms over the last few years has served as impetus to industry to innovate and
work on development of indigenous technologies, products and solutions. Under the watchful eyes of the
Industry friendly leadership at the helm of Ministry of Defence, relentlessly promoting Indigenisation of
the Defence Sector by embracing the Government's agship initiative 'Make in India', Defence & Aerospace
sector is poised to become a major contributor to GDP growth over coming years.
Our Armed Forces, and the Indian Army in particular have been very proactive over past few years in
reaching out to industry to absorb upcoming technologies and indigenous solutions for their day-to-day
operations. The much-needed dissemination of critical requirements of Indian Army has been expedited
through the constitution of Army Design Bureau (ADB). FICCI provided able support to this endeavour by
associating with ADB to bring together Army - Industry - Academia in a strong partnership culminating in
issuing "Compendium of Problems" by the Army HQ.
In the last one and a half year the Army - Industry - Academia dialogue has traversed a long way across the
industrial & academic clusters in India, with Army spelling its operational requirements, to next logical
phase of the industry and academia offering home grown solutions to the problems. The overwhelming
participation of industry & academia at the Solutions Seminar conducted by FICCI is a testimony to the
commitment of Indian industry & academia to innovate and work with the armed forces.
I take this opportunity to thank Army Top Leadership starting with General Bipin Rawat, UYSM, AVSM, YSM,
SM, VSM, ADC, Chief of the Army Staff, and Lt General Sarath Chand, PVSM, UYSM, AVSM, VSM, ADC,
Vice Chief of the Army Staff for constant encouragement, for no epoch making initiatives can take rm
roots without constant encouragement at the Top. Lt Gen SK Patyal PVSM, UYSM, SM, PHD, Deputy Chief of
the Army Staff (P&S) and his team of officers continued to drive this initiative and for the support extended
by his team. Lt Gen Subrata Saha, PVSM, UYSM, YSM, VSM** (Retd), former Deputy Chief of Army Staff (P&S)
provided the leadership and became the path nder for this initiative being nurtured by the succeeding
leadership. I must also acknowledge the efforts of industry and academia members for sharing their
concept solutions which have now been documented in the form of this '1st Compendium of Solutions to
Problem Statements'. While a conducive environment has been enabled by the Indian Army in bridging the
communication gap, Industry and academia now looks forward to an enabling policy framework to take
forward these solution proposals to a logical end. Few early success stories have started emerging in the
form of programs cleared under the Technology Development Fund scheme.
FICCI will continue to be partner to the endeavour of the Indian Army and bring to the table indigenous
and cost-effective solutions with the help of the academia and industry combine.

FICCI Defence Committee
FOREWORD
The development of an indigenous defence industrial base in the country is one of the main pillars of the
‘Make in India’ initiative of the Government of India (GoI). Hence, it is tting that the theme of this year’s
Defexpo - “India: The Emerging Defence Manufacturing Hub” resonates with this objective. More recently
the Government has been pro-active in pushing forward reforms in defence and aerospace business.

The personal initiative taken by Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, Raksha Mantri, to integrate the existing organic
clusters of industry (with signi cant presence of MSMEs) with large system integrators in a contiguous
geographical region by way of announcing the defence industrial corridors will certainly contribute in
establishing a robust defence industrial base in India.

FICCI has been playing an active role in realising the establishment of this defence industrial base through
various initiatives that it does with the stakeholders including GoI, state governments, institutions like Niti
Aayog and various thinktanks. One such unique initiative that FICCI undertook along with Army Design
Bureau and DefenceAviationPost.com was to create a strong User-Industry-Academia interface through a
series of ‘Seminars on Solutions to Problem Statements” across the country. The seminars held in New
Delhi, Coimbatore and Bangalore enabled FICCI to document 50 plus solutions presented by Industry and
academia that address the problem statements of Indian Army.

For the support and guidance provided in this journey by Lt Gen Subrata Saha, PVSM, UYSM, YSM, VSM**
(Retd.), former Deputy Chief of Army Staﬀ (P&S) as a mentor to this initiative, we are thankful. An attempt
has been made to present the solutions by Industry and Academia through this ‘1st Compendium of
Solutions to Problem Statements’. I am hopeful that Indian Army will be bene tted by the proposed
solutions and will take this eﬀort to a logical conclusion.

I am con dent that this compendium will encourage other centres of academic excellence to engage with
industry to nd solutions for emerging operational requirements of our armed forces. FICCI is committed
to continue this dialogue between the Indian Army, industry and academia on an ongoing basis.

AMRITA SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING

Problem Statement: Light weight, High toughness composite for military bunkers - A novel
approach for safe and quick construction in border areas.
Details of the Solutions:
(a) Brief Description: After extensive study and research a bunker structure is
conceptualized which is low in weight and high in strength/ stiffness ductility and high
ballistic capacity. It is a composite structure, a steel encased plywood or plywood lled
steel tube. Number of experiments are conducted in the laboratory to prove the
effectiveness of the suggested design. Additionally, the plywood lled steel structure
will never have a catastrophic failure like concrete structure, no matter what the level or
intensity of bombardment is. Also plywood is having good thermal and sound insulation
property, which will make inside the bunker warm during cold climates, which is usually
encountered in border areas. The thermal resistance or insulating effectiveness of
plywood panels is R=8.67 (m2 oC)/(W.m), the higher the R value, the more effective the
insulation.
(b) Indigenous or Ex Import: Indigenous
(c) Present State (Concept / Proof of Concept): From the study it is observed that the
hollow steel sections quickly buckle under load, whereas Plywood lled sections shows
high load carrying capacity, ductility, and energy carrying capacity. The light weight
plywood lled steel tubes are totally free from catastrophic failures associated with RCC.
All tests and calculations indicate that plywood lled beams can absorb huge amount of
energy and hence can take huge ballistic loads. As all tests are limited to laboratory size
beams, fabrication and testing at the prototype levels are required. Further, a
mathematical model is to be developed so that the structure can satisfy the speci c
requirements.
Assistance Sought from the Army: Financial support for manpower, consumables and testing.
Likely Timeline: As detailed earlier, Tata Power SED is prepared for the NCNC
Outcome Envisaged: A Light weight, High toughness and high strength composite military
bunkers which can be used for safe and quick construction in border areas.

Problem Statement: Supply of High Calori c Value Food

Details of the Solutions:
(a) Brief Description:
Food packaging materials currently used are fossil fuel based or petroleum based plastic
materials. Flexible packaging materials are non-degradable and causes environmental
hazards. Growing environmental concerns has resulted in development of ecofriendly
materials. Some of the examples of natural biopolymers are starch and its derivatives,
cellulose acetate, chitosan and synthetic biopolymers are Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) and Poly
Capro Lactone (PCL). Most promising biopolymer for food packaging material is Poly
Lactic Acid (PLA). Most of the biopolymers are reported to be edible. Presently, PLA do
not possess the mechanical strength as compared to petroleum based plastics. With the
addition of nanoclays, improvements in mechanical properties, barrier properties can be
achieved without aﬀecting biodegradability. For any food packaging application,
antibacterial property,water and oxygen barrieris most required to retain the taste and
calori c value of food. With the use of PLA nanocomposites food packaging material,
antibacterial, oxygen and water barrier properties of biopolymer based nanocomposites
can be improved signi cantly.
(b) Indigenous or Ex Import:
Biodegradable packaging material developed will be an indigenous development
(c) Present State (Concept / Proof of Concept):
International Status
Starch and its derivatives is the most commonly studied biopolymers. Starch and its
derivatives are commonly edible and are completely degradable. But it has low
mechanical properties compared to other biopolymers. PLA is commonly studied
synthetic biopolymer due toits biodegradable and tailoring of shelf life or lifespan. In

National Status
There is limited work reported on development of biodegradable food packaging
nanocomposites. Currently, Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and Linear Low Density
Polyethylene (LLDPE) are used as exible packaging materials. These petroleum based
plastics are impregnated with potassium permanganate and cinnamic acid respectively
to act as ethylene scavengers. These addition of ethylene scavengers increases the shelf
life by two-three weeks and improves the strength of packaging material. Degradability
of these packaging materials is major concern. Also, antibacterial properties are not well
established.
Preliminary Work Carried out by Investigators
Our preliminary investigations of incorporating nanoclays have demonstrated signi cant
improvement in mechanical and barrier properties. Observed oxygen and water vapour
permeation reduction from 25% to 80% and 50% to 60% respectively by using
nanoclays. From literature it is reported that addition of nanoparticles will not aﬀect the

Problem Statement: Poor battery life of LRF LH-30

Details of the Solutions:

(a) Brief Description: Rechargeable Li-ion batteries are gaining more importance in
portable electronic devices and stationary devices due to its high energy density.
Graphite is one of the commercially used anode in Li-ion batteries. Maximum theoretical
capacity of graphite anode is 372 mAh/g. Theoretical maximum capacity of 372 mAh/g
can hardly meet the demands required for use in electronic devices. To meet the
requirements in higher power densities and better cycling stability, signi cant eﬀorts
have been made to develop new anode electrode materials with graphene and
molybdenum di-sulphide (MoS2). These materials have excellent electronic and
structural properties and can provide larger surface areas for lithium adsorption andl
ower energy barriers for lithium diﬀusion. That is these materials can provide fast
charge/discharge rates and high speci c capacities up to 670mAh/g. Among these
materials, have a higher band gap and good electrochemical performances.
Development of anode materials with graphene and MoS2 may help in solving the
existing issues of battery.

(b) Indigenous or Ex Import:The development of hybrid graphene oxide and MoS2

nanoparticle anode for Lithium battery will be an indigenous product.

(c) Present State (Concept / Proof of Concept):

There is extensive literatures available in international scene about promising potential

of MoS2 nanoparticle and graphene oxide hybrid layer used as anode material.

Problem Statement: Extreme Cold Climate (ECC) Clothing for Crew of Armoured
Fighting Vehicle (AFV)

Details of the Solutions:

(a) Brief Description:

In cold climate temperature goes down as low as-40 degree centigrade, so requirement
of protective clothing is very crucial. Wind chill is also one of the factor eﬀecting the heat
loss. Designing of clothing for extreme cold weather involves many external and internal
parameters. Textile material used in this, should provide maximum protection with
minimum bulk and weight so that the armour will feel comfort to discharge his duty
without any physical stress. The protection against the extreme cold mainly depends on
type of thermal insulation and resistance of the developed thermal material. Modi ed or
Double-ply fabric made of cotton, wool, acrylic, eece, or polyester are normally used for
development of thermal material for cold climate. The two plies work like two layers of
clothing. They do not allow the body heat to escape. Thermal wear made of wool
provides maximum protection.

Usually coat of ECC is a three layered garment having detachability. The "layer method"
of dressing is more eﬀective than a single bulky garment. Several layers are built up,
each of which has its own part to contribute, insulating air is trapped between as well as
within layers, and exibility is maintained as conditions change.

Foundation layer: a base to wick away moisture and insulate. The layer next to the skin,
this should be soft, comfortable and able to wick away perspiration quickly so leaving
you feeling dry in spite of your exertions in the cold

Mid layer: insulation, exible and light to trap body heat. A versatile layer that provides
insulation with the ability to easily remove or put on the layer. Buttons, zips and the like
allow for ventilation during exertion or the ability to quickly close everything up when
the weather worsens.

SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEM STATEMENTS

Outer shell layer: water proof, windproof, breathable tough. This layer provides direct
weather protection, it must be windproof and may be waterproof depending on the
temperature it will used at. Sometimes literally a "shell" or with additional insulation built
in. Studies conducted by Recreational Equipment Co-Op show that in still air, wind shells
worn over any garment can add up to 25°F of warmth. In windy conditions, wind shells
can increase warmth by 50°F or more.

Extremities: keep the heat in and stay comfortable. Head, hands, ngers, feet and toes,
not forgetting ankles, wrists and neck.

Hence, design and development of ECC for crew of armoured ghting vehicle will be
researched for more compatibility in terms of cold protection, motivating, soothing
aromatic to boost the enthusiasm and spirit of persons without deployment of
regiments in high altitude area.

(b) Indigenous or Ex Import:

Material developed will have maximum insulation having Self- life of more than 3 years
and water proof outer layer for protecting the wearer from moisture penetration. The
developed new design can be used in in hospitals, high altitude areas (more than 6,000
ft. to 14,000 ft.), will protect the wearer for a longer period of exposure (+100 C to -200
C). Three layered detachable Dungaree with coat and hood with adequate lining helps in
protection from cold winds.

(c) Present State (Concept / Proof of Concept):

l PresentlySoldiers wearing Extended Cold Weather Clothing System gear move through a
snowy terrain after dismounting from a helicopter in March 2010. Army scientists are

Diﬀerent evaluation methods used for assessing the eﬀect of moisture on the TPP were
investigated, with an emphasis on test devices, evaluation indexes as well as their
relationship and limitations. Findings – The moisture from the ambient, clothing and

l Clothing for micro climates that is the space between skin and the clothing plays a major
role in the heat and mass exchanges from or to the body. The uid dynamics approach
was used tp perform numerical studies of uid ow and heat transfer across cylindrical
clothing. Transient simulations were performed for three diﬀerent values of
microclimate thickness to diameter ratio (0.05, 0.10 and 0.25), considering a two-
dimensional cross-section of a human limb surrounded by a porous fabric and exposed
to cool external air (10°C). The obtained local heat transfer along the skin shows that
increasing the microclimate thickness ratio from 0.05 to 0.25 decreases the convective
heat uxes by up to 100% in the upstream regions of the microclimate, and increases
them up to 190% in the downstream regions. This asymmetry, which indicates an
increasingly important role of natural convection as the microclimate thickness ratio is
increased, is often overlooked in space-averaged approaches due to the opposite
changes in the diﬀerent regions of the microclimate. Local variations in temperature
along the outer fabric and in convective uxes along the skin were signi cant, reaching
up to 14K and 90%, respectively. The critical thickness ratio above which natural
convection should not be ignored was found to be 0.1 (e.g. corresponding to a
microclimate thicknesses of 11 mm or 8 mm, around an upper arm or forearm,
respectively).

SMART ENOVATION INDIA PVT. LTD.

Problem Statement: Microwave Landing System

Details of the Solutions:

(a) Brief Description: This document presents a solution to alleviate difficulties faced by
helicopter pilots during landing. Visibility of the landing site plays an important role in
enhancing smooth, safe and quick landing. However the visibility conditions deteriorate
due to weather or time of the day. In case of landing at ill prepared sites or during
emergency operations additional constraints on visibility as well as unknown
obstructions pose further difficulties for operations. To provide safer and efficient
environment for landing a solution based on available technology needs to be adapted.
Modern sensor technologies provide various options for detecting obstructions as well
as mapping landing sites before nal approach even during poor weather as well as in
dark. However, there is a need to customise these to satisfy special constrains posed by
desired application. In case of helicopters, microwave sensors along with specialised
software can provide early information of the obstructions in the ight path on the
monitor. These will be effective during any time of the day as well as other situations of
Poor/No visibility due to weather etc. This proposal outlines the development of an
adaptation of microwave landing system which can be mounted on the helicopter and
deployed in the eld. This system will then provide additional assistance to the pilot
during landing for visualising eld in the ight path as well as the condition of landing
site in all weather and lighting conditions.

Problem Statement: Puncture Proof Tyres

Details of the Solutions:

(a) Brief Description: Whole materials can be adapted to carbon bre components that are
highly durable and can reduce weight by more than 60%. Here, you can also use light,
