DRDO has developed multiple products such as heating devices and snow melters to help keep the Indian Army soldiers warm in the extremely low temperatures.
DRDO’s Defence Institute for Physiology and Allied Sciences Director Dr Rajeev Varshney said that the Him Tapak space heating device (Bukhari) has been developed for the Indian Army deployed in Eastern Ladakh, Siachen and high altitude areas.
