The CSIR seeks expressions of interest for the research and development of advanced infrared concealment materials over a three-year period. This project aims to enhance military personnel's concealment capabilities against thermal imaging technologies.
The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) invites qualified entities to submit expressions of interest for a three-year project focused on the research and development of infrared concealment materials. The primary objective is to create a full-sized, human-scale military poncho that significantly reduces visibility in the infrared and thermal spectra, particularly against short-wave, mid-wave, and long-wave infrared detection technologies. The successful bidder will be responsible for material selection, design, development, testing, and delivery of this innovative product.
This project is crucial for modern military operations, where enhanced concealment is vital for personnel operating in hostile environments. Bidders must demonstrate their capability through a detailed technical proposal, showcasing their qualifications, proven track record in signature management, and innovative solutions to meet the outlined requirements. The CSIR aims to partner with businesses that can deliver high-quality, durable, and operationally suitable materials that meet military standards.
This tender is suitable for businesses specializing in material science, military technology, and advanced research and development. Companies with a proven track record in signature management and those capable of innovative solutions in thermal concealment are encouraged to apply.
