From weapons to tools, it is paramount that a soldier has all the essential gear to function in hostile or remote environments. Technological advances have equipped the soldier with more portable electrical systems than ever before, which is why the CWB is such an asset. The development of conformal wearable batteries helped to unify portable power sources into one ergonomically designed form factor and provide enough power for a three-day mission.  As the power needs of soldiers continue to grow, future advancements in conformal wearable batteries will need to offer higher energy density without increasing a soldier's weight load or risk in battle. Read on to learn more about the evolution of wearable power and what it will take to meet the expanding needs of the modern military.
