Packed with sensors and electronics, combat jumpsuit, which has developed lodzki start-up Heimdall Combat Systems, to promote paratroopers, rescue, medical and fire in the exercises and in combat.

the project involved, in particular, Medical University of Lodz, Lodz, Academy of Fine Arts and Academic Center of Design, which have to develop the design of the combat suit, and several companies and start-UPS, included in the łódź Military District.
As told REUTERS one of the founders of the concept of the costume Przemyslaw Nowakowski, the idea was born from contact with divisions and special fire services. “We identified some needs that seemed very interesting, and we have proposed solutions that can really help in learning, but also to protect the health and lives of soldiers, firefighters or rescue workers, medical,” admitted Nowakowski, who himself is training in one of the Polish special services.
the Basic idea of this idea is to protect the health, process optimization, training, and continuous monitoring of soldiers and rescuers, who in their work are exposed to very high loads.
“we Want to protect their health by optimizing workouts that will positively affect smaller load. Due to the fact that this person is not przetrenowana, we knew exactly at what moment does have some functional limitations, or injury. Then we can immediately help," – said Nowakowski.
the Suit would have been designed not only for soldiers but also for ambulance and fire, which during the campaign working in a very difficult environment – are exposed.m.in high temperatures, magnetic waves or the action of toxic substances.
according to Novakovsky suit will also contribute, in particular, to increase the speed and mobility of soldiers or rescue workers during operational activities. “We want to lead to a situation in which the player’s actions, and the transaction is optimized so that the soldiers are as well trained, and are subjected to smaller loads," he added.
the project was developed the concept of suits for soldiers, firefighters or rescue workers, which differ, for example, material, sensors, design, but the idea of their work remains the same.
“we Offer a complete solution, that is, two applications, all the technology and suit, containing sensors that collect all the data biodane and the environment”, – said one of the founders of the concept. If, for example, fire will biodane such as pulse, heart rate, level of hydration, as well as data on environmental protection, for example, the ambient temperature, the contents in the air of harmful gases, or the presence of toxic substances in the environment.
the Jumpsuit will be divided into zones. “You will find yourself in it. in particular, gyroscopes and acceleration sensors monitoring the speed and attitude that we have gas sensors, temperature and a computer combat medical care or the commander of the assault, depending on the configuration of the suit," he explained.
the Computer is the Central unit responsible for collecting all data that will be processed in the information system of the so-called library, gathering data about a specific person and her participation in exercises or operations.
“the project will be developed two programs – one is a mobile application that can help in the daily training of soldiers or rescue workers, hinting at the basis, in particular genetic profiles developed during research at the Medical University, the time required for the regeneration of the party muscle at the same time, selecting a training cycle, adequate hydration of the body, or the need for dietary”, – said one of the founders of the decisions Kamil Eckert.
the Second application is to collect and analyze data from training programs, as well as all the data from the sensors suits, like after a workout or after combat actions. Each time the data are loaded and assigned to the person’s profile. Comparing them and analyzing on the basis of developed algorithms, it will be possible to predict the risks of injuries and damage to the organism through the influence of external factors and changes occurring in the body in stressful situations – adds Eckert.
the Developers decisions, I want to also use the opportunities offered by augmented reality – due to the fact that certain sensor data soldier or firefighter needs to see the display attached to the helmet.
while participating in combat soldiers or firefighters will be under observation to hold. “If in the course of the action something going on with this man, the commander receives the data from the sensors, i.e. it is known that this man needs help. The doctor at this point can respond, and colleagues can come fire from the ruins. The jumpsuit has the task not only to help and support in the training, but actually to save a life”, – said Nowakowski.
the concept lasted for two years. “We have gathered the analysis of scientific research, through the Medical University in a Boat we have conducted two studies, a pilot with the special unit. We are in talks with investors, we are also trying to attract financing from EU funds", he added.
Upon receipt of funds by the prototype, according to the authors of ideas can occur throughout the year, and after two years, the suit can go into production. According to them, interested in General, there are not only Polish special units and firefighters, but also, in particular, the French interior Ministry, which at the exhibition of innovation in Paris have identified this solution to medal.
costume Design was one of the first joint solutions to the companies and institutions included in the Lodz Area of the Military cluster, which was established to support innovative companies in the industry, valves working in the region. A cluster generates several companies and startups, as well as the łódź Academy of fine Arts, University of Medical Sciences, University of Technology and life Sciences from Bydgoszcz, and the Institute of Biopolymers and Chemical Fibers in the Boat.
