Strong, impact-resistant materials lighten the soldier’s load, give the soldier increased protection, and minimize unnecessary risk to soldiers. Compact, efficient energy sources provide power for the wide variety of electronic devices a soldier must use, and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) reduce device weight and energy consumption still further. Computer simulation allows designers to try out numerous mechanical and material configurations to see which ones work best. The resulting computational models can be applied to human tissue structures as well, enabling the development of better medical treatments and reconstructive capabilities.
