CSIR-SERC has developed a modular security booth/shack for military and security personnel, constructed using steel fibre-reinforced cementitious composite panels mounted within a steel frame. The booth is designed to provide NIJ level-III protection, capable of withstanding multiple hits from 7.62 AP projectiles in accordance with NIJ standards.
Key Features of the Booth/Shack:
* Multi-impact resistance (NIJ level-3) with enhanced ricochet resistance.
* Pre-engineered, precast, and fully Indigenous modular design, ensuring easy assembly and disassembly within an hour without the need for heavy machinery.
* The technology is very easy to repair, reuse, and replace and offers cost-effectiveness and long-term durability.
* High mobility and easy repositioning, combined with an attractive aesthetic appearance.
* The unit can accommodate two beds with essential hospital amenities and can be stacked together for expanded capacity. Openings allow for easy movement between units, and some modules can be converted into toilet core units to serve four to five modules.
* The wall panels consist of four foldable cladding panels with heavy-duty hinges for ease of use, allowing them to fold flat to the ground. All electrical provisions, including lighting, are integrated into the structure, even while the unit is in its folded condition.
* The developed security booth is useful for protecting personnel deployed for guarding various critical facilities across the country.
