The development of military technology is growing rapidly
in line with the needs that support military operations in the field, one of
which is clothing or protective cloak soldiers.
Future combat uniforms soldiers modern will use the composite materials are lightweight, and have functions such as protecting the body of the army of the explosion firearm, disguise the presence of troops in the spectrum of a particular radiation, blocking radiation in the ultraviolet spectrum and infrared, so that the troops will not be visible to the thermal sensors. Now, scientists are preparing materials that can strengthen the feature.
Russian forces already have sophisticated equipment of the complex 'future soldier' Ratnik (Warrior), which consists of various elements including combat clothing.
According to Russian Advanced Research Projects Foundation, combat uniforms of soldiers who are not yet provide safety and comfort needed by the army, so it is necessary to create new combat clothing material for safety and comfort of the soldiers.
As a first step Russian Advanced Research Projects Foundation and Saratov State University have built Special-Purpose Materials Laboratory to develop advanced materials for clothing combat soldiers. Based on its protection capability, these materials will surpass all combat clothing materials that already exist today.
Research Projects Foundation seeks to realize the technology base for creating new materials for the manufacture of highly delicate fabric using electrospinning. With this technology, is expected to create a synthetic fabric that is very smooth with a unique protection capabilities.
In short, in the next few years the Russian military will have 'invisible cloak'. Thanks to its unique fabric structure, these materials will be very light and does not inhibit the respiratory system, so that the clothes can be used by soldiers all the time. Currently, the complex Ratnik combat clothing can only be used for 48 hours.
