3D- published endless defenses were trial tested by the Indian Army’s Corps of Engineers in eastern Ladakh.
At first, the Indian Army’s Corps of Engineers constructed 3D- published endless defenses and trial-tested them against a range of weapons. These defenses will be set up along the Line of factual Control in eastern Ladakh.
The Indian Army’s Engineer-in-Chief Lieutenant General Harpal Singh said these defenses were trial tested against a range of weapons from small arms to the main gun of a T90 tank.

He added that the 3D printing technology is suitable to repel blasts and can be erected within 36 to 48 hours. They can also be dislocated from one place to another. “With this, trials for analogous endless defenses have also been carried out in eastern Ladakh and set up to be useful,” said Harpal Singh.
The move is seen as one that will save time and ameliorate the Indian Army’s defense preparedness. The 3D printing technology uses complex software and robotic units that help in creating a structure through multiple stages from a digital model.
Sources in the Indian Army said the infusion of new technology is the key to achieving modernization. They added that 3D printing technology can help save time and cut costs compared to what’s demanded in the construction of conventional units, like a cellarage or a niche for colors.

INDIA- Demitasse STANDOFF
The eastern Ladakh border standoff erupted on May 5, 2020, following a violent clash in the Pangong lake area. Both sides gradationally enhanced their deployment by rushing in thousands of dogfaces as well as heavy artillery.
As part of a five-day advancement process, the Indian and Chinese colors moved back their frontline colors on September 12 to the hinder locales from the face-off point of Patrolling Point 15 in the Gogra- Hot springs area in eastern Ladakh and disassembled a temporary structure there.
Army goes for further coverts and islands along LAC
Talking further about the beefing-up process along the LAC, sources also mentioned that 150 kilometers of functional tracks had been constructed in the Northern Command, including endless workshops like rainspouts, faces, and causeways constructed coincidently to enhance life.
They added a road that would give alternate connectivity to Western Ladakh and the Zanskar Valley directly from the Manali axis. It’s a 298- km road that will be completed in 2026.
The road also includes a 4.1- km binary tube Shinkun La lair for furnishing all rainfall connectivity, which is likely to be approved by the Defence Ministry soon, sources said.
They added work was also on to upgrade the islands on the DS- DBO road, which would be completed middle of the coming time.
The Army has also pushed for massive road and lair construction in Ladakh as well as Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim to strengthen its capability to snappily launch an operation and sustain forward colors.
Sources also said trials for constructing ‘assault islands’ similar to the Sarvatra and PMS in high altitude areas have been carried out for the first time ever in Eastern Ladakh.
Besides this, several small coverts and underground security depots are being erected, they said.
Interestingly, due to the induction of ultramodern new wharf crafts and fast command vessels in both Eastern Ladakh and Sir Creek, sources said patrolling has increased including in the pivotal Pangong Tso.
BRO projects
There are at present 18 Border Roads Organisation(BRO) systems spread across the country.
BRO has constructed further than,000 km of roads, 693 major endless islands totalling a length of 53,000 meters, 19 fields, and four coverts running a distance of roughly 19 km. This includes the Atal Lair, which holds the world record for being the longest lair(9.02 km) in the world above,000 bases and for being the World’s Loftiest Motorable Road over Umlingla.
“Presently, the BRO is constructing nine coverts, including the2.535- km-long Sela lair, which will be the loftiest-lane lair in the world formerly completed. Eleven more coverts are also under planning,” sources said.
They added the construction of two fields at Barrackpore and Bagdogra in West Bengal is at an advanced stage of completion. In addition, BRO has been lately entrusted with the task of constructing one of India’s loftiest fields at Nyoma, in southern Ladakh.
