Biometric sensors for health monitoring, performance monitoring and tracking devices are some of the major military uses of wearable technology. Men and women who risk their lives to safeguard our country deserve the most advanced technology available. Wearables for military troops, such as biometric sensors and printed heaters, can help our soldiers gain an advantage. Biometric sensors can provide real-time feedback on soldiers' health, while flexible printed heaters can accelerate wound healing. Thanks to screen-printing technologies and conductive inks, these wearables can be effortlessly integrated into soldiers' kits without adding weight or thickness. Some of the major military uses for wearable technology are listed below: Biometric sensors for tracking health: Biometric sensors are an ideal tool for remote health monitoring in soldiers. Sensors are printed onto a flexible film utilizing conductive inks. Biometric sensors with no mobility restrictions can detect EKG, ECG, EEG, and other biometric data. The sensors, like the printed heaters, may be attached to virtually any fabric and integrated into military equipment. Biometric sensors allow for the remote monitoring of important patient information. The same is true for wearables for military personnel. Soldiers can be watched while out in the field. The biometric sensors can be used to monitor soldiers' vital signs, such as heart rate and respiration rate. They also give remote access to information such as body temperature, which is extremely useful when military troops are in perilous situations. ...Read more

Numerous pilots who operate powered aircraft in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS) have admitted to using the B4UFLY app to stay mindful of their surroundings. "We know that adoption by users is key to all successful compliance efforts. While we continue to build open and scalable systems, we can't mistake walls for highways. We have to make compliance, safety and security part of the benefits that come along with accessible and easy to use tools. We're excited to continue growing along with the broader drone ecosystem," says Jon Hegranes, CEO and Founder of Aloft. Record flight and airspace safety across Aloft's applications and UTM platform are among the milestones Aloft Technologies highlighted. Aloft has authorized half a million LAANC flights1 overall, with a record-breaking increase in total authorizations and commercial airspace authorizations.  Due to record usage and adoption, 20 million airspace searches have been performed on the B4UFLY application. The Aloft UTM data network also reached a milestone in June when it reached one million monthly airspace occurrences and had 300 percent quarter-over-quarter commercial revenue growth, which was the highest platform expansion in the business history. Aloft's the most recent product, Aloft Geo, which enables governmental and authoritative agencies to post air and ground space alerts to the Aloft UTM data network, swiftly topped 50 verified agencies in the first month, capping off an all-time quarter. This extension of Aloft's data crowdsourcing program has a significant impact by enabling authoritative agencies to directly manage and distribute their data to the broadest network of drone pilots and airspace stakeholders. By combining these additional authoritative data sets with Aloft's airspace restrictions and flight activity data, Aloft Geo is enabling the next development in UTM situational awareness, benefiting everyone from local law enforcement and first responders to federal organizations like NASA and the Department of Homeland Security. ...Read more
