Design Development of Compass for Paratrooping and Skydiving

Source

Source summary

Develop and certify a magnetic compass for parachuting and skydiving, mountable on the chest, belly or wrist. It should remain readable and indicate direction despite posture, pressure and cold, be luminous for night use, support a preset direction, and meet water/shock resistance and low-weight requirements. The source specifies an instrument for a moving wearer, not an ordinary hand compass.

Electric Vehicles – Innovations in indigenous Electric Vehicle and EV component technology

Develop indigenous electric vehicles and components that improve efficiency and cost against existing products. The challenge particularly discusses power devices, battery cells and batteries as routes to greater vehicle capacity and lower production costs; its adoption forecast is historical context, not a current demand finding.

Proximity Warning System for Mobile Vehicle

Develop a vehicle proximity-warning system using an IWR6843 radar or equivalent, with a 40-metre detection range and classification of vehicles, pedestrians and obstacles. The source specifies VEGA/SHAKTI-based machine learning, up to 24 hours of SD-card storage and CAN transmission. Outdoor operation, vibration resistance, low power and latency below 100 ms are requested constraints, not verified capabilities.
