• Groundbreaking soldier system reduces equipment burdens and consolidates power supplies. To ease the burden of heavy, bulky equipment carried by dismounted soldiers, BAE Systems’ next-generation Broadsword^™ Soldier System is designed for modern warfighters, consolidating and tightly integrating the power sources and components they need to carry out their missions. This low-volume, low-weight system includes a revolutionary e-textile Spine^™ with conductive yarns that eliminate the usual wired harness and the need to carry multiple battery types for powering or recharging equipment. This flexible fabric power-and-data distribution network, which can withstand holes, rips, and burns, also includes a series of connection points for transmitting and receiving data as well as power. Learn more about the scalable Broadsword system and how it revolutionizes conventional cabled solutions.
