DRDO Develops Special Motor Bike Ambulance 'Rakshita' for CRPF

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has launched a bike-based casualty transport emergency vehicle,’RAKSHITA’ for the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).
The specially designed bike has been developed by the DRDO’s Delhi-based laboratory, Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (INMAS).
RAKSHITA’ bike ambulance will help the Indian security forces to reach urgent evacuation sites in event of a medical emergency or battle injury, where access through ambulance is difficult and time consuming.
These bikes will reach fast to the narrow roads in tensed areas, especially in the Naxalite affected areas and congested streets and other remote locations.
Rakshita is fitted with a customized reclining Casualty Evacuation Seat (CES), which can be fitted in and taken out as per requirement. Other major features are:
- the head immobilizer,
- safety harness jacket,
- hand and foot straps for safety,
- adjustable footrest,
- physiological parameter measuring equipment with wireless monitoring capability and
- auto warning system for the driver.
