Design and Development of Infra-Red (IR) Detectors

Source

Source summary

The challenge seeks local design and manufacture of infrared detectors spanning near- to far-infrared sensing, a component class currently described as imported, particularly from Europe. It highlights uses in night vision and surveillance as well as medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, industry, research and consumer electronics, with the aims of building an Indian vendor base, improving availability and reducing cost.

Protecting Humans Engaged in Sewage Cleaning - Protective gears, equipment and other solutions for ensuring the health and safety of humans engaged in sewage cleaning

Develop protective clothing, equipment and related solutions for sewage-cleaning workers when human intervention is required. Protection from hazardous gases and other exposures, alongside worker dignity, is central; this is a separate ask from mechanising the cleaning itself.

Two-Way Audio Communication

Support low-latency, two-way audio in IP cameras and related communication devices using VEGA/SHAKTI RISC-V cores. The source calls for efficient encoding, decoding and streaming, with examples including AAC, Opus and G.711, to balance bandwidth and audio quality in voice and video communication. Noise suppression, echo cancellation and filtering, plus battery-sensitive embedded operation, are also specified. It also calls for noise suppression, echo cancellation and filtering, with battery life as an embedded-device constraint.

Carbon fibre winding (CFW)

Abridged source description: establish domestic carbon-fibre winding capability and access to suitable fibre for an existing rocket-launcher barrel assembly. The source identifies an already established metallic-liner process but unavailable local winding technology and export restrictions on fibre. Weapon-manufacturing recipes, material selection and performance targets are intentionally omitted.
