On the Navy side we've been talking for years now about having some simple things like a tablet with the drawings etc on it, so that when someone went to do maintenance they could pull it up, have refs available if required, fill in a soft copy checklist, and then synch it with the maintenance system to mark it as done.
The tools to do that have been around for 15+ years, and with how cheap tablets are you could probably implement it for under $100/unit, and now also are compatible with the same EHM tools that come standard with most large machinery. The big OEMs all offer EHM monitoring as part of the ISSCs, so you can regularly email them small data files, and they will let you know if something needs investigated.
This stuff used to be incredibly expensive 20 years ago, but now you can get it off Amazon, and actually offers more real functionality then the VR glasses people are so hot and heavy about.
Totally off track from the original L-U post, but I'm sure there are folks working on teams that also are big on innovating there with next gen fabrics etc, when we still can't get a pair of pants tailored to fit a human being. Probably also has the same ratio of support, where there are more people working on 'next gen' investigations that don't actually ever deliver something, while the squad trying to support clothing is down to the bare minimum required to keep the current contracts in place (as long as no one takes holiday, gets sick, or goes on course).
