Harnessing the potential of SMART TEXTILE
TO ENHANCE SOLDIER SYSTEMS
ARMETISS is a European project whose ambition is to integrate and optimize state-of-the-art smart textile technologies into personal protection equipment.
Beyond its interest in improving soldiers’ capabilities, comfort, and gear longevity, ARMETISS also aims to incorporate data-monitoring and communication systems.
PROJECT PARTNERS
A consortium of European expertsled by NFM Group
Within ARMETISS project, leading soldier equipment manufacturers, research, knowledge and technology providers, system integrators both from the military and civilian sector are collaborating to build the next-generation personal protection equipment.
