Rewarding Applications of Military Wearables to Drive the Growth of the Global Military Wearables Market

Published: Dec 2019

The global military wearables market is anticipated to exhibit considerable growth during the forecast period. The market growth is attributed to increasing demand for lightweight and small wearable equipment in the defense sector owing to their worthwhile application. Military wearable such as rifles is worn to track targets, detect wind, and to make the calculation for the optimal flight path for the bullet. The technological advancement enables the integration of rifles with augmented reality (AR) platform such as Google Glass facilitates the soldiers to focus the targets precisely without watching the target carefully. The wearables such as smart textiles are highly utilized to monitor the physical state of soldiers as it comes with mounted biosensors.

Apart from internal or external injuries several internal physical movements including heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and hydration can also be monitored by the use of smart textiles. Additionally, the military wearables are worn by animals such as dogs, horses, and mules that take part in military activities. The biosensors embedded into their wearables facilitate the officials to track their position and health in a simpler way. The use of smart wearables and portable communication devices has made communications among a soldier’s squad and between soldiers and their commanders easy. 

Furthermore, the integration of AR in various wearables facilitates the officials to get a clearer picture or 360-degree view of the surrounding regions. This is done by the combination of a virtual screen overlay such as Google Glass with information from observation and other real-time data received from several on-ground sensors, and from drones flying in the region. The growing demand for the military wearable to owing to their insightful application is motivating the key players of the military wearables market to develop technologically advanced military wearables. For instance, Norinco, a Chinese enterprise, is developing a new generation of military exoskeletons. These exoskeletons enable soldiers to carry over 100kg of supplies without much struggle. 

Recent Activity

In November 2018, Microsoft Corp. had received $480 million contracts to develop an Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS), for use in combat and military training in the US Army. The company is working on building a Google with a ballistic laser, digital cameras, 3D display, and hearing protection that had not to be mounted on a helmet. The system is intended to offer a view of remote areas, integrate both thermal and night vision cameras, and to track soldier vitals such as the heart and breathing rates.
