Conductive network for parachute fabrics

An apparatus comprising:

• a conductive network;
• wherein the conductive network includes a set of flexible conductive elements;
• wherein the set includes a first flexible conductive element;
• wherein at least a portion of the first flexible conductive element is enclosed within an insulator;
• and
• one or more Faraday cages, wherein the one or more Faraday cages are configured to be arranged to shield at least a portion of the conductive network;
• wherein the one or more Faraday cages and conductive network are configured to integrate with a parachute to enable the conductive network and parachute to be packed, deployed, and recovered without damaging the parachute, one or more Faraday cages, or conductive network.

A method comprising:

• arranging one or more Faraday cages to at least partially shield a conductive network;
• wherein the conductive network includes a set of flexible conductive elements;
• wherein the set includes a first flexible conductive element;
• wherein at least a portion of the first flexible conductive element is enclosed within an insulator;
• wherein the one or more flexible Faraday cages and conductive network are configured to integrate with a parachute to enable the conductive network and parachute to be packed, deployed, and recovered without damaging the parachute, one or more Faraday cages or conductive network.
