India is all set to achieve self-reliance in testing of armoured vehicles, as Asia's first Ballistic Research Centre will soon be functioning at Gujarat Forensic Science University (GFSU). Till now, the armoured vehicles from India are sent to countries like the UK, USA and France for testing.
The FSL in Gujarat was so far able to conduct testing of only bulletproof jackets, helmets and bulletproof plates, but with this new venture the entire armoured vehicle can be tested successfully.
The Ballistic Research Centre will conduct tests for armoured vehicles of the Indian Army and also provide services to private players who supply vehicles to the VIPs. The centre will also provide services to other countries. The tests include firing on armoured vehicles from different firearms, like a small pistol to AK 47 and Insas rifles. The centre will adopt a method in which manufacturers can witness their armoured vehicles being tested.
