The Kavro Doma 360’s high-cut combat version weighs 1.45 kg in its small size configuration, while the advanced combat version weighs 1.8 kg in its large size configuration, Neeraj Gupta, managing director of MKU, told a leading media outlet on November 17.

“MKU has developed the Kavro Doma prototype under [the] Make-II category of the Indian government’s Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP),” Gupta said. Projects under the ‘Make-II’ category, according to the  Ministry of Defence’s (MoD’s) Department of Defence Production, involve prototype development of equipment primarily for import substitution with no government funding.

The company will soon deliver helmet prototypes to the Indian Army for testing purposes, Gupta said. The Indian Army requires 80,000 ballistic helmets that can protect soldiers from 7.62×39 mm bullets.

With the Kavro Doma 360, MKU aims to participate in tenders for ballistic helmets from European and American countries as well, Gupta said.
