Innovative technological solutions for the design and production of tactical equipment

Clothing products and tactical equipment are ideal for personalization and customization according to consumer requirements, which do not fit into standard sizes (body size and atypical conformations or special requirements) and are an important niche for the garments sector. The paper presents the implementation of the innovative technological solutions for the design and production of tactical equipment, highlighting the importance of personalization and its competitive advantages, from the idea to the prototype or product and testing it. The purpose of the research was to increase the competitiveness and quality of the products obtained at SC TACTICA OUTDOOR SRL by applying innovative technological solutions for the design and production of tactical equipment, already validated by the National Research-Development Institute for Textiles and Leather - INCDTP. Innovative technological solutions for the design and production of tactical equipment include a number of software such as virtual body drawing software (avatar), automated design software with Made-to-measure, simulation and virtual modeling software. These innovative technological solutions were applied in the process of manufacturing a tactic equipment, resulting in a personalized product according to the individual body size of the subject. The paper promotes the application of intelligent clothing CAD, supporting the development of the garment industry.
