Technology
Modern warfare presents new unsolved challenges. We aim to solve these using modern technology
Development I
Boosting artic defence capabilities
Recent war in Eastern Europe, combined with growing geopolitical tension across the Global North, has underlined the need for stronger defence capabilities in arctic and cold-weather environments.
In these regions, cold is not merely an environmental hardship. It is an operational factor that degrades dexterity, increases fatigue, weakens recovery, and steadily reduces a soldier’s ability to perform. Maintaining combat effectiveness in such conditions requires more than conventional protection. It requires systems that actively support human function in extreme climates.
Development II
Drones causes 3 out of every 4 war casualty in Russo-Ukraine war
Modern conflict are forever changed with the adoption of drone technology. In the Russo-Ukrainian war, drones have shown how persistent aerial surveillance and low-cost precision strike capabilities can transform combat. Soldiers now operate in an environment where detection is faster, exposure is more dangerous, and traditional assumptions about cover, movement, and survivability are under pressure.
This shift demands new tools for the modern soldier. Future capability will depend not only on weapons and platforms, but on technologies that help personnel endure, adapt, and remain effective in increasingly exposed and contested environments.

Technology
Performance in the cold should not depend on tolerance alone.
Field-Shield develops integrated heating technology for textile-based field equipment. We build for environments where cold is not just uncomfortable, but operationally limiting. Our technology is designed to help preserve warmth, function, and resilience when conditions work against the body.
Cold is a performance problem
Cold affects more than comfort. It reduces dexterity, drains energy, impairs focus, and makes recovery harder. In demanding environments, even moderate cold exposure can gradually reduce a person’s ability to perform, rest, and endure over time.
The body must constantly spend energy to maintain core temperature. That energy cost competes with everything else: movement, alertness, decision-making, and recovery. In the field, this matters.
Passive protection has limits
Traditional cold-weather systems rely on insulation. Insulation is critical, but it is passive by nature. It helps retain heat, but it cannot actively restore warmth once the body has already lost it.
Adding more layers often comes with trade-offs: more bulk, reduced mobility, slower setup, and less flexibility in changing conditions. For people operating outdoors, protection must do more than insulate. It must adapt.
Our technological principle
Field-Shield is built on a simple idea: active thermal support can complement passive insulation and help maintain human performance in the cold.
We develop portable textile systems with integrated heating elements designed to deliver warmth where it is needed, without unnecessary bulk. Our design philosophy centers on targeted heat delivery, energy efficiency, portability, and field-ready durability.
The purpose of the technology is not heat for its own sake. The purpose is to support the person using it.
What warmth protects
When thermal stress is reduced, people can conserve energy, maintain better function, and recover more effectively. That means better conditions for rest, improved endurance over time, and a stronger ability to operate in difficult environments.
We see warmth as an enabling function. It supports capability, not just comfort.
Why Field-Shield exists
Field-Shield exists because cold remains an underestimated barrier to human performance. We believe people in demanding environments should not have to rely on endurance alone. Thoughtful thermal technology can reduce strain, extend capability, and improve the experience of operating in harsh conditions.
That is the reason we build.
Cold can cause casualty levels comparable to combat.
Historically the cold element have caused devastating casualties to trops. In battles such as Chosin, the cold temperatures caused equal level casualties as enemy engagement [1,2]
