WEARABLE ECOSYSTEMSFOR TOMORROW’S SOLDIER

Today’s dismounted soldier typically carries more than 35 kilograms of gear. Faced with an increasingly digital battlefield, troops who are already weighed down with body armor, weaponry and ammunition must now also carry communications systems and other electronics. These heavy loads reduce soldiers’ agility, mobility and effectiveness – ultimately creating a risk to their lives.

Reducing the weight of equipment without compromising safety and performance in combat is a key concern for the soldier modernization industry. Military organizations around the world rely on device manufacturers to rethink the design and interconnectivity of soldier-worn electronic and communication systems.

Lightening the load

Tactical connectivity is part of an overall trend to integrate more wearable technology into ergonomically designed combat gear. Vests and helmets with built-in connectivity solutions help reduce weight, simplify use and enhance field performance, while improving human factors.

The new military gear uses innovative wearable connectivity technology for essential communications, including lighter and smaller electronic devices, powered by a single central battery. This achieves the desired SWaP optimization, dramatically enhancing the soldier’s operational and decision-making abilities.

Improving Size, Weight and Power with Integrated Wearables

ImprovedC4ISR and IoBT

Secured data

A Centralized, Integrated Connectivity SystemThe concept is simple. We integrate a distributed data and power BUS into the tactical vest, eliminating the external wires or break-out cables that weigh soldiers down and limit their movement.

Meanwhile, receptacles sewn in strategic locations turn the soldier’s vest into a !exible hub delivering power and data. Communications gear, sensors, night vision systems, smartphones, tactical computers, GPS devices and other essentials can be a"ached with matching plugs built directly into the device without using cables.

ENHANCED USABILITYIntegrating plugs directly into devices eliminates external wires, which minimizes weight and maximizes ease of use in the #eld.

OPTIMIZED POWER MANAGEMENT The single central power source replaces multiple ba"ery types for each individual device, signi#cantly reducing weight.

EFFORTLESS MAINTENANCE The integrated data and power BUS has been designed for easy cleaning and replacement, as well as for technological upgrades.

Tailored Connectivity SolutionsThe connected vest is just one example of how Wearin’ is helping equip the soldier of the future. Our solutions are designed to augment ba"le#eld performance by enhancing the usability and reducing the overall weight of body-worn equipment. Modular, evolutionary and customizable, we tailor solutions to meet any requirement around functionality, choice of gear or integrated devices.

We make product development easier with two levels of support.

Augmented Wear’ is our standard, plug-and-use solution that can be tailored to your speci#c needs in terms of gear, applications, power or other requirements. This upgrade option can either use Wearin’ solutions through our network of specialized partners, or integrate your (or your suppliers’) existing products.

Your Wear’ is a fully customized solution that we create together using a “connectivity-by-design” approach. Starting with your need, we identify core requirements and then help you design the solution to meet your speci#cations. From ideation to prototyping, testing to deployment, we work closely with you to turn your idea into a complete, user-centered wearable ecosystem.
