The lightweight modular defensive wall (LMDW) is a mechanism for the protection of personnel, buildings and equipment at designated locations.
A defensive wall concept has been schemed that has a thickness of 400mm. it is modular (hence easily repairable) and it is constructed in a mixture of engineering composite materials (Kevlar re-inforced plastic, GRP and CFRP).
Subways are incredibly expensive to build and take years, light trains that run at street level create congestion, making traffic worst, so how to solve the problem if public transportation? With elevated trains! However even though this cost less and are quicker to build,
During training for or in emergency response situations, it's useful to know team members' positions in real-time, but can be difficult to do so. Losing someone’s position could have undesired impacts, such as a failure to contain/apprehend or friendly fire situations. Radio frequency transmitters worn by team members can serve as beacons, 
We have Indigenously developed our new innovative technology i.e TMSG-DC-200.
Thermoelectric Module Static generator DC Power TMSG-DC-200 is highly reliable remote power supply unit working with natural gas or propane. TMSG-DC-200 generates electrical power converting directly heat energy into electricity. It does not contain moving parts,
The Black box or Event Data Recorder (EDR), records information about your vehicle and the driver’s driving habits.
