The next generation bomb suit was introduced for bomb detection and disposal squads, which are made in India.
Bomb suit EOD 10 is engineered to provide best-in-class balanced protection and support to bomb technicians against the threats of an explosive blast such as overpressure, fragmentation, impact and heat.
Lightest women-friendly concealed carry pistol Glock 42 was also up on display. It is the lightest women-friendly pistol and as small as a mobile phone. Women can carry it in their purse.
With the increasing cases of mob-lynching, the DRDO has developed and tested chilli grenades made from the Naga chilly. The chilli bomb has been approved for use as a non-lethal mob dispersal agent and maintaining law and order. For the first time, India has developed an alternative of teargas from naturally procured chilli.
Chilli grenades are being successfully used by the police in Rajasthan, Bihar and Manipur and CAPF in India.
