3. Textiles are widely used in
the military field,
including uniforms,
protective clothing, socks,
gloves, sheets, sweaters,
sand bags, among others.

4.  Till 19th century military land battles were
fought at close range by individual
engagements. ‘Danger’ colors such as
scarlet( bright red) were widely used.
 At turn of the 20th century advances in
technology provided lethal long-range
weapons with improved sighting.
 These caused rapid changes in military
strategy and tactics, as engagements could
be made at a distance.

6.  The British Forces adopted khaki colored uniforms
 The first khaki drill (or KD) made from cotton twill entered service for
tropical use in 1902

7. KNITTED WOVEN COATED
NON WOVEN LAMINATED Etc…

8. Kevlar High
Tenacity
Polyester
Polyester
Cotton

9. Coolmax
Meta Aramid
Lycra
Nomex

10.  Light weight
 High durability
 Wind proof
 Water proof
 UV light resistant

11.  Ballistic Protection
 Explosive Ordnance
Disposal (EOD)
 Water Vapor Permeable
 Flame Retardant

12.  Clothing configuration
 Components and options
 Sizes
 Ease of donning on and off
 Comfort and restriction of mobility
 Accommodation of other selected ensemble
equipment

13. Based upon the layer principle.
 Each layer performs a specific
function.
 Special protective layers are
added in Military Combat
Clothing Systems like a
helmet, a nuclear, biological
and chemical over suit, and a
snow camouflage over suit.

14. We have to make
clothing material
light weight and
bulky that gives high
insulation property
and thermal comfort.

15.  Thermal insulation
 Water vapor
Permeable/Waterproof
Materials
 Flame-retardant, Heat
Protective Textiles
 Ballistic Protective Materials
 Biological And Chemical
Warfare Protection
 Military Camouflage

16.  It is difficult to produce high
durability textiles at low weight
and good thermal insulation.
 Ballistic protection requires the
use of heavy, bulky, relatively
inflexible materials.

17.  Good snow-shedding
properties are provided by
flat continuous filament
fabrics which are not readily
available in flame-retardant
forms.
 Materials which offers
Ballistic protection against
bullets ,Bomb fragments,
also offer High thermal
insulation which causes heat
stress in the wearer.

18.  NAUGRA
 GOYAL TRADING COMPANY
 SKYLARK UNIFORMS etc…

19. A military uniform is a very Complex System.
Understanding types of hazards or threats is the
critical first step. New Research & development
need to carried out. Surfaces of fibers have been
chemically modified through exciting areas which
continue to develop is that of electronic textiles.
