Twentieth Century
Light weight & durable many high performance. fibers came into usage.
Earlier silk & metal was used. But now high Performance fibres are used like
Kevlar
- Polyphenylene terephthalamide, 5 times stronger than steel. Properties like tensile strength at low weight, low elongation at break, high modulus high chemical resistance etc.
Twaron
Spectra
high strength.
DURABILITY
PROPERTY Light weight and low bulk High durability and dimensional stability Good handle and drape Low noise and antistatic
COMMENTS Items have to be carried by individuals. Must operate reliably in adverse conditions comfortable No rustle and no sparks
PROPERTY
COMMENTS
Water-repellent, water proof & wind For exterior materials exposed to proof cols weather Thermally insulating For cold climates
Water vapour permeable Rot-resistant UV resistant light For clothing and personel equipment For tents, covers, nets Environment with sunlight
biodegradable
If discarded or buried
PROPERTY Visual spectrum Ultra voilet Near infrared Far infrared Acoustic emissions
COMMENTS Exposed materials match visual colours In snow & ice regions To match reflectance of background To minimise heat emitted by humans & equipment Rustle noises detected by microphones & sensors

Gearing towards an integrated future The general aims of future systems are:
Improve protection against natural and battlefield threats Maintain thermo-physiological comfort or survival in extreme conditions Improve compatibility between and within different clothing components Reduce weight and bulk of materials Integrate functionality so that fewer layers provide multi layer protection Reduce life cycle costs by making systems more effective, durable, and recyclable and by buying few components in the system
