Soldier Power with Inductive Recharge & Intelligent Textiles (SPIRIT) (Army)
Abstract
The SPIRIT system incorporates e-textiles for power and data distribution, provides “plug-and-play” capability for various Soldier worn systems, and communicates control signals from an end-user-device. The proposed system addresses future capabilities for Small Unit Power Increment II/III as defined by Army Maneuver Center of Excellence for e-textiles and wireless charging as well as requirements for United States Marine Corps (USMC) Marine Enhancement Program. USMC is interested in the technology and will participate in project reviews. Specifically, the e-textile capability will provide the capability to distribute power and data without using cables and be able to wirelessly re-charge an attached battery thus reducing the soldier's load.
