A programmable fiber was developed that could transmit data from military uniforms. The fiber could generate power, provide vital information about the wearer’s physiology and environmental exposures, provide their location to a team, and alert someone if they incur an injury. Ultimately, uniforms with this technology could power sensors, store and analyze the collected data, and transmit data to outside sources.
