Military smart fabrics have a functionality that no conventional material has been able to match. Some of the available functionalities include temperature regulation, health monitoring, and adaptive camouflage. For instance, the uniform can be engineered to track soldiers' vital signs and in real-time relay information on the physical condition to the commanders, which is very essential in a stressful combat zone. This function is not only helpful in keeping the soldiers alive but also gives the commanders some good information on which to base their decisions in the battlefield.
Another astonishing feature about these military smart textiles concerns their interaction with environmental factors. Textiles are designed to vary in color or texture to their surrounding conditions, rendering them suitable for camouflage. This adaptive ability can vastly enhance the efficiency of military operations through the reduction in the visibility of a person in the field of vision on different terrains. Apart from this, such textiles can be developed to offer protection from exceedingly high or low temperatures through thermoregulation for comfortable performance even in the most extreme climates.
