Futuristic designs for new military uniforms were today unveiled by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) as part of plans to modernise UK troops' equipment.
The advanced kit could become standard issue for British soldiers on the frontline by 2020.
Among the new military hardware is a wearable smart watch that allows soldiers to communicate from the battlefield.
Sensors on the wrist can also record the user's biometric data, in a feature that mirrors the 'health' functions of the Apple Watch.
