Description:[002]. Special Uniform for Tropical Areas ITBP troops are deployed in ANO areas where troops face harsh weather, mostly high temperature, mosquito and snakes. Some technology in field of clothing or equipment needs to be explored to address this problem which can rectify this problem or suppress the harm.
[003]. Special Uniform for High Altitude Areas ITBP troops are deployed in areas where temperature dips down to -40°C, in such areas troops face high altitude diseases i.e., frostbite, chilblain, loss of appetite, nausea, headache, etc. Latest technology in military clothing needs to explore to overcome this problem or suppress impact of such adverse weather on human body. Care should also be taken in weight & volume of the clothing so that operational activities may be carried out without any hindrance.
[004]. Special Uniform for Normal Areas ITBP troops are also deployed in IS duties but uniform is same for all areas. Suitable clothing should be developed which is durable, flexible, lightweight, and adjustable to all weather.

[009]. The solution for Tropical Areas : clothing in high temperature is of the heating and cooling lies on the example of biomimicry where in the innovations and inventions are inspired from the nature. It’s a derivative of human blood circulatory system. It works on the principle of convection current where in the hot fluid replacing the cold fluid. The effect of that is achieved by Peltier effect which circulates the heatless and coldness across the body on the ribcage model. In this we use a temperature sensor to module the heat and cold process such that the system is automated.
[0010]. The solution for Tropical Areas : Mosquito is choosing a fabric of Velvet for strong protection. Mosquitoes have six sharp, long mouthparts that can pierce lightweight fabrics as easily as they do skin. These mouthparts are known as the proboscis. Fabrics such as gauze or spandex, voile is of poor protection that can easily be penetrated by a mosquito’s proboscis, allowing them to siphon off your blood while they inject you with saliva. Fabrics like gingham, medium-weight cottons, polyester, silk cotton blends provides medium protection.
[0011]. The solution for Tropical Areas : Snake bites, UHMWP is an excellent choice for many industrial applications. It reduces noise and vibration, is chemical-resistant and non-toxic and offers excellent mechanical properties even in cryogenic conditions. Characteristics include Non-toxic, Low coefficient of friction Corrosion, abrasion, wear and impact resistant Extremely low water absorption FDA and USDA approved. Manufacturers in India
[0012]. The solution for High Altitude Frostbite is ultrasonic transducers with piezoelectric elements suitable for operation at temperatures higher than of the most commercially available transducers, i.e., 150 °C. The main types of the ultrasonic transducers that are discussed are the transducers with thin protectors, which may serve as matching layers, transducers with high temperature delay lines, wedges, and waveguide type transducers. The piezoelectric materials suitable for high temperature applications such as aluminum nitride, lithium niobate, gallium orthophosphate, bismuth titanate, oxyborate crystals, lead metaniobate, and other piezoceramics are analyzed.
[0013]. For Normal Areas Clothing, which is durable, flexible, lightweight, and adjustable to all weather. Weight with Circuitry (Jacket) = 2Kgs. Weight with Circuitry (Trouser) = 1.8 Kgs. Weight Without the Circuitry (Suit) = 3.8 kgs. Adjustable in all Weathers: The Circuitry in the Jacket can be removed as its detachable.
[0014]. The solution for Sweat absorption is Viscous Cotton. If you're looking for a durable and affordable material with rich colors, then viscose is definitely a good choice. It withstands everyday use, drapes well, and feels soft to touch.
[0015]. Electrical Calculations include Motor: Voltage - 12V, Current - 2A, Power - 24W, TEC Module - 12V, Current - 2A, Power - 24W, Usage 1 Motor Module: 24W, Usage of 2 TEC Module: 48W. Total Power Consumption: 72Watts.
[0016]. The possible Charging methods could be solar paper, Piezo Electric Charging, TEG, TEC, Nitinol Engine and mobile power banks.
[0017]. The novelty and innovation of the special uniform for ITBP personnel deployed in tropical areas lie in its unique design elements and advanced materials, which address the specific challenges posed by adverse climatic conditions in these regions.
[0018]. Lightweight and Breathable Fabric: The development of a lightweight and breathable fabric is a significant innovation. This fabric not only ensures comfort for the personnel but also helps regulate body temperature and manage moisture effectively. This feature reduces the risk of heat-related illnesses, such as heatstroke and dehydration, which are prevalent in tropical regions.
[0019]. Ergonomic Design: The uniform's ergonomic design is another novel aspect. By prioritizing comfort and ease of movement, the uniform allows personnel to carry out their duties without hindrance, even in challenging terrain and climatic conditions.
[0020]. Functional Utility: The uniform's emphasis on functional utility sets it apart from conventional uniforms. The incorporation of multiple pockets, specialized compartments, and modular attachments allows ITBP personnel to carry essential equipment and gear conveniently. This promotes efficiency and quick access to critical resources during operational deployments, contributing to their overall effectiveness.
[0021]. Addressing Tropical Challenges: The uniform is specifically designed to mitigate the harm caused by tropical conditions, a crucial factor considering the unique challenges of tropical border areas. By offering protection against the adverse climate and environmental factors, the uniform enhances the safety and well-being of the personnel.
[0022]. Ongoing Research and User Feedback: The commitment to ongoing research, testing, and user feedback demonstrates a dedication to continuous improvement. This iterative process ensures that the specialized uniform evolves and adapts to meet the changing needs and demands of ITBP personnel working in tropical regions.
[0023]. In summary, the novelty and innovation of this special uniform stem from its lightweight and breathable fabric, ergonomic design, functional utility, focus on addressing tropical challenges, and the willingness to incorporate feedback and refine its design continuously.
