\nAmid a spike in terror attacks on security forces in Kashmir, the police are set to purchase 50 bullet-resistant bunker vehicles with a higher level of protection from gunfire.<\/p>\n
The J&K Police have recently floated tenders for the purchase of the 50 BRB 4X4 vehicles with NIJ-III level protection that would shield them against fire from self-loading rifles (SLRs) and AK-47 rifles.<\/p>\n
The NIJ-III level is a standard set by the US-based National Institute of Justice for body armour.<\/p>\n
Hundred militants and 43 security personnel were killed in Jammu and Kashmir in the first six months of this year, the government informed the Rajya Sabha recently.<\/p>\n
Sixteen civilians were also killed during this period, which saw 256 incidents of violence.<\/p>\n
The police will get 50 bullet-proof bunker vehicles for protection of security personnel against terror attacks in insurgency-hit areas of Kashmir, a senior police official said on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The BRB vehicles should have specifications to give protection against fire from SLRs and AK-47 rifles on four sides at 90 degree angle of attack from 10 metre and roof at 45 degree of the attack from 10 metre, the official said.<\/p>\n
The NIJ standard \u201cBallistic Resistance of Body Armour\u201d is a minimum performance standard developed in collaboration with the Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology .<\/p>\n
The NIJ level-III protection is tested to stop 7.62mm full metal jacket lead core rifle ammunition.<\/p>\n
The bullet resistant glasses should have the required thickness with finest optical quality minimum distortion to be used as transparent armours, which must be capable of withstanding NIJ level-III protection, he said.<\/p>\n
The official said the vehicle must give protection against 8 kg of TNT and equivalent and its underbelly shall be protected against blasts of two hand grenades.<\/p>\n
The vehicle must be able to accommodate 10 people in a bullet-proof single cabin, the official said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
