ARMETISS is a project aimed at developing smart soldier systems in the EU. The project aims to develop smart clothes and equipment that integrate complementary functions based on EU end-users' needs and textile-based advanced technologies. ARMETISS will build upon previous EU-funded projects, such as GOSSRA, ACHILE, and STILE, to enhance soldier protection, comfort, and operational capabilities.
The aim is to assemble cutting-edge textile technologies to meet tomorrow’s soldier protection challenges. The project will work on the following functional smart textile modules:
Thermoregulation
Optimizing soldiers’ body temperature in all conditions with minimal downtime to ensure sustained combat readiness.
Physiological Monitoring
Implementing health metrics tracking for soldier well-being and better medical support.
Energy Management
Streamlining power and data distribution with miniaturized, optimized and lightweight wiring for soldier comfort and safety.
Geopositioning
Integrating textile-embedded positioning systems to boost navigation, especially in GNSS-denied environments.
Monitoring of Protective Equipment
Improving soldier safety and protective equipment’s durability with real-time armor fracture detection in place of x-rays.
Human-Machine Intefaces (HMI)
Enhancing situational awareness and reducing soldier burden by providing ergonomic, intuitive controls.
A consortium of European experts
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. There are 18 partners from 8 countries working on the project for 3 years.
