Defense applications. ''Flexible electronics devices printed onto uniforms, including electronic readers, displays featuring high-quality photographs, maps, and other information, and communications devices would drastically reduce the loads soldiers carry. Flexible sensors can be placed on aircraft and vehicles to perform multiple functions. Printed photovoltaic devices on tents, buildings, and vehicles could generate local power, reducing the logistical demand for fuel.23 U.S. defense funds are being used to develop the “so-called Dick Tracy wristwatch, a flexible band to be strapped on soldiers’ wrists to provide communication, satellite images and Google Earth-type maps.”
