that are hyper-focused on missiondriven
purposes. Technical working
groups (TWGs) have been established
and led by industry, academia and
defense agencies, with an initial
e-textile focus on functional fibers
and fabrics, industry infrastructure,
soft systems integration and flexible
power and data.
New TWGs in textile material sustainability,
automated manufacturing,
composites and educational workforce
development are being planned. These
TWGs will influence AFFOA and, in
return, U.S. federal government in
spending priorities.
Enabling the future
To enable the ecosystem, AFFOA
has started to develop key industrial
elements to support rapid prototyping
that merge with best practices
in design for manufacturing and
assembly. This includes working with
other MIIs in defining the scope for
a digital manufacturing platform
that integrates simulation tools used
in textile fabric and garment design
with that of electronic simulations. A
digital engineering approach ultimately
enables reduced development costs,
lower manufacturing costs (through
automation) and sustained legacy
support of products.
AFFOA is also supporting
advancing technologies through
system platforms that allow companies
to test their materials by getting them
in the hands of users (i.e., warfighters)
as fast as possible, starting with
markets for climate adaptive textiles
and power/data busing within textiles.
Advanced functional textiles exist
today and are rapidly evolving to
provide more value-add for a breadth
of military and commercial markets.
To merge advanced functional textiles
into larger markets, we in the domestic
textile industry need to be purposefully
aligned across the supply chain in
resource allocation to materials
and manufacturing development.
The textile industry is a technology
industry, and the world is starting to
realize its potential. The future isn't
" virtual worlds, " it is real, and it's going
to impact us in tangible ways.
Dr. Jesse Jur is the director of ecosystem technology
at Advanced Functional Fabrics of America, an
associate professor, and the Textile Technology
program director for Textile Engineering, Chemistry
and Science (TECS) at North Carolina State University.
