Future Warfighter Symposium
This educational Symposium will engage the DoD, Military Services, industry and academia in a collaborative, open forum to discuss the near term combat environment and threats the Warfighter is facing and the technological solutions and ‘leap ahead’ research and innovations to help improve their capabilities, performance and survivability.
Opic Areas To Include:
- Understanding the near term combat environment and threats the Warfighter is facing
- Advanced materials and fabrics to aide in clothing efficiency : heat/cold weather, wicking, waterproofing
- Augmented reality technology and tactical operations
- Wearable robotics and advancements in human- machine integration
- Next-gen research in personal protective equipment / exoskeletons : malleable fabric exosuits, and ‘liquid armour’ and buoyant body armor
- Energy and Power for the dismounted Soldier: energy harvesting capabilities, improved battery power (supplying, harnessing and generating power)
- Research in technologies for Warfighter Performance Enhancements
- Integrating biometric sensors and monitoring physiological data : Overcoming challenges with collecting, analyzing and disseminating data in an austere environment
- Biomimetic applications: new technologies inspired by biological solutions at macro and nanoscales for the dismounted Warfighter
- Improving digital integration on the dismounted Warfighter
