ElectroTextiles is a technology area that is in its formative stages of development. Over the past three years, several government and industrial workshops as well as international conferences have discussed and presented fundamental technical approaches and a few small companies are starting to offer commercial products. The combination electronics and textiles offer a new and unique way to fabricate novel large-area, flexible and conformable military and commercial systems. This paper will discuss the some of the challenges that need to be addressed for this technology to mature in the future.
