Indian Army Major Anoop Mishra Develops world’s first “bulletproof helmet” to stop AK-47 bullet

• The Indian Army Major Anoop Mishra has developed a bulletproof helmet, which is claimed to be first such in the world, that can stop an AK-47 bullet round from a distance of 10 meters.
• The “ballistic helmet” has been developed under project Abhedya, by the officer, who is part of the Indian Army’s College of Military Engineering, Pune.
• In December 2019, Major Anoop Mishra had also developed a bulletproof jacket named ‘Sarvatra’ that could effectively provide full-body protection to troops from lethal sniper rifle bullets.
• Besides this, the College of Military Engineering jointly with a private firm has developed India’s first and world’s cheapest gunshot locator.
• The locator can locate the exact location of the bullet from distance of 400 meters which will help to locate and neutralise terrorists faster.
