Concept & Methodology
Concept & Methodology
The overarching goal of MINEFIELD is to advance a cutting-edge T-TENG defence solution with a primary emphasis on power generation and energy storage & management technologies. This involves the design and implementation of the MechanoCap system integrating these technologies into military fabrics and equipment to enhance the operational capabilities of soldiers.
The objective is to improve the soldiers’ functional capabilities, readiness, deployability, safety, and sustainability.
These energy generators will be designed for easy integration into a soldier’s outfit (textile, boots, helmet).
