Demand/Supply Impact: The integration of electronic devices directly within the soldier's clothing system, such as GPS, and EUD, as well as the associated power and data manager, batteries, cables and antennas through the development and use of electronic textiles is anticipated to reduce weight and snag hazards while improving mobility and situational awareness. In addition, toxic vapours can be absorbed by activated carbon which has a pore structure that enables the absorption of a wide range of hazardous gases.
