Rajya Sabha

---

A prototype of solid state cooling suit has been designed by Defence Scientists for use by the tank crew operating in high temperature zones.

The suits have not yet been supplied as the system is still under development. The Research and Development trials of the first prototype of this solid state cooling garment have been highly satisfactory in the Laboratory set up and in the tank.

The stage of reward by the Government has not yet reached.

This information was given by the Defence Minister Shri George Fernandes in a written reply to Shrimati Vanga Geetha in Rajya Sabha today.
