Panel 1. Foresight on advanced and digitalised smart textiles in the European defence sector. Smart Textiles are a new generation of materials and systems with advanced multifunctional properties which, given their ability of being integrated into uniforms and platforms, have drawn the attention of defence stakeholders. In this context, the European Defence Agency (EDA) has incorporated the Smart Textiles into the Strategy Research Agenda (SRA) of the CapTech Materials & Structures, and a Technology Building Block (TBB) is devoted to this area. Furthermore, other EDA CapTechs, such as the CapTech CBRN and Human Factors and the CapTech Ground Systems have performed initiatives related to “Smart Textiles”. |

Panel 2. Visualising a European dual use programme for multifunctional smart textiles.

This enables a wide range of potential cross-fertilising exchanges between both sectors. |
