UES got to hear from Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) Pilots and retired Air Pilots on the challenges of fatigue during missions. The event was co-hosted by NextFlex to demonstrate how Flexible Hybrid Electronics can address some of the air crew's fatigue and alertness challenges. Over 20 companies came together to brainstorm with pilots to understand user pain points and possible forward solutions. The event concluded with whiteboarding and hands-on prototyping of helmets, goggles, headsets, conductive patches, and other concepts with material provided by NextFlex to present concepts to solve the air crew fatigue problem.
The UES team was excited to take part in the prototyping and discussions at the event as the UES’ ELMNTTM Liquid Metal Ink may solve many of the challenges for capacitive touch sensing that the air crew may have. ELMNT ink is not only flexible and robust, but also has the ability to maintain constant electronic properties while stretching with minimal hysteresis. Sounds like a perfect match.
