The Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences (DIPAS) and the Central Scientific Instruments Organisation (CSIO) are collaborating to develop sensor technologies for physiological monitoring of defense personnel in high-altitude environments. This initiative will investigate how extreme conditions affect soldiers' cognitive performance and decision-making.

The partnership is a response to the increased military deployment along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) after the 2020 standoff with China, which saw the induction of over 68,000 soldiers and various military assets. The research aims to enhance troop efficiency and mission effectiveness under challenging operational conditions.
