I-Garment For Firefighters

// December 19th, 2005 // My Stuff, Technology Bits

I found the I-Garment on Engadget. This sophisticated fire-fighting garment is being developed by the European Space Agency, Telecommunications devision (ESA). Since my father is both an emergency dispatcher and fire chief, the I-Garment seemed quite interesting.

According to their site:

The fire-fighting garment will be made with the latest and most sophisticated materials available to provided proper protection in hazardous situation, with special emphasis to user comfort and mobility.

Tightly integrated with the garment there will be an array of sensors, telecommunication, localisation, alert and processing hardware capable of collection the status and position of the fire-fighter and transmitting it wirelessly and in real time to a data collecting computer installed in local Operational Field Vehicles (OFV).
