Whilst budgets tighten, our forces must perform in yet more complex situations. Good innovation can help them adapt
Advancing technology means our servicemen and women have to deal with a proliferation of equipment and information. They're also having to adapt to wiley enemies. Plus changes in society adds other pressures, like the drive to improve personnel welfare or reduce carbon footprint. These can create positive opportunities, for example reducing energy consumption can also extend operation time and perhaps reduce weight.
Realise has good experience working on technical products and machinery, such as the EDOCS surgical oxygen unit, lightweight military beds and ablution units. We are well versed in making products for extreme environments like that on board ocean going yachts, plus we understand the demands of the military.
Do you want to realise the benefits of human centred design or practical engineering innovation in your next project?… Just get in touch now for a quick discussion.
Typical benefits of military product design innovation:
- Lower Weight
- Improve usability – make equipment simpler, easier, faster and more reliable to use.
- Improve ergonomics – make things easier to hold or carry, increasing comfort and service time.
- Increase robustness and reliability in harsh environments.
- Simplify construction, reduce cost of manufacture, easier to maintain.
- Improve appearance – assuming equal function, even the most battle hardened like to carry better looking gear - cool kit certainly doesn't harm morale!
