In the past, people have protected themselves from injury with different types of materials. In the earliest days, people used animal skins as barriers to injury and attacks. As weaponry advanced, they added wooden and metal shields to their defensive arsenals. Today various grades of bulletproof armor are worn to protect from advanced ballistic projectiles.

A bulletproof vest acts as a protection layer against fast-moving projectiles such as bullets in times of war or a terrorist attack. India has recently come up with its own standards for ballistic applications, while the types of bulletproof vests available as per set specifications in the market are limited as well as do not cater to user comfort.

Current bulletproof vests, worn by the Indian armed forces and special task force commandos are quite bulky and are more generalized rather than specific to a particular application. Almost all armed forces use a similar type of vest which sometimes puts the life of the user in danger due to its rigid and bulky construction.

This project focuses on redesigning such a bulletproof vest that is customized to a specific category taking its user into consideration, is comfortable, and does not compromise on safety but rather improves it.
