Enabling/Emerging Technologies & Mapping Technology TRL Expected Strength/ Year TRL Weakness (1- 7 9) 4 24 months Weakness: Shielding (as per MIL-STD461 EMI\EMC) Critical Barriers/Gaps Action (Watch/ Rationale Leverage/Invest)

Electro-textile shielding

Problems associated with shielding individual conductor Strength: strands, which is Integrated also at odds with wiring harness achieving within edifferential textile can coupling. have overall shield applied that outperforms piecemeal shielding. Strength: plasma activated coating shows great promise. Strength: breathable micro-porous Application of multifunctional coatings, e.g. shielding/ waterproofing/ abrasion resistance.

Invest

An electrotextile that is susceptible to be disrupted by RF nearby or is leaking or emitting internal processing will not gain acceptance.

Environmental protection of etextiles

24 months

Invest

Current environmental protections for textiles can be unnecessarily bulky and heavy.

membranes have proven effective in commercial products. Fast data transmission through e-textiles 4 36 months Weakness: parallel data paths within twodimensional e-textile must all be terminated with characteristic impedance to avoid internal reflections. Strength: wellunderstood Signal Integrity domain Weakness: Weakness: no COTS connectors are available for wearables or e-textiles. Strength: connector technologies for flexicircuits can be leveraged. Strength: USB (1.1 and 2.0) rapidly becoming defacto industry standard Terminating or disconnecting single-ended transmission line stubs. Achieving dielectric standoffs for shield without making fabric "sandwich" too thick and inflexible. Invest Current etextiles are capable of slow (<12Mbit/s) data transmission, good for 90% of current demands, but real-time video data to/from displays and sensors will require faster rates.

Connectors for etextiles

24 months

Defined electrical Invest and data standards (Theme 1). New paradigm of connector geometry required for unique human factors requirements? E.g. single handed, gloved, blind, wet mate of connectors anchored to the body.

MOTS connectors generally a point-of-failure for systemsparticularly unsatisfactory when soldierborne, regards human factors and environment.
