BAE Systems is beginning production of its "revolutionary" body armour that provides power and data connections to soldiers when worn, it announced at the Farnborough Air Show last month. Military forces around the world have embraced the use of electronic equipment such as night-vision goggles, thermal imaging, radios, GPS and drones. However, the batteries required to power these devices add extra weight to the soldiers' packs.
