The amount of negativity here blows me away. This is the 1st working model. As the tech develops…
The ancient Greeks divided their army between heavily armed & armored hoplites & lightly armed & armored peltasts. It’s been that way for infantry ever since. You have to choose between mobility vs firepower & protection.
This tech has the potential to finally change that. Every man could wear armor that gives head to toe protection against AK series rifles, carry a full caliber LMG + a grenade launcher, march all day & fight a battle at the end of the day.

Jonathan, it’s new in that nobody on earth is fielding this stuff. Just because the concepts originated decades ago, and early prototypes were built in the 60s, that doesn’t mean the technology isn’t new. There’s a reason the old stuff never got fielded. It didn’t work.

This idea has been done before. Its nothing new. There are even ways to make them without batteries that work just as well. Is this really news? Im sick of hearing about shit that should of been built 50 years ago. People talk about all these new technologies like they are novel and groundbreaking. That includes exoskeletons, load bearing systems, drones, ospreys, fricken v shaped hulls, mraps, millions of versions of the m16, guided artillery, and the list goes on.
This shit aint new.
Its NOT 21st century technology. Just because we misprioritized our funding and brainpower in the 20th century doesnt make this stuff 21st century technology.
Go back in time and read your science. ALL of the stuff I read about on these defense websites are DATED ideas that should of been used 20–50 years ago.
Can we move onto the shit that is really hard and challenging that uses technology that isnt available in radio shack and walmart please?
That is REALLY the future of law enforcement, military, and national security.
Or is that the stuff we dont hear about and this stuff is meant to appease the stupid?
I have a hard time that any smart person falls for this shit being new.

I can think of a lot of cool use’s for this thing, mainly being “Human forklift”. But combat’s not one of them.

Roflmao in alot of ways i kinda agree with you can anyone say spacemarines LOL. though the idea of mounting the weapon on the arm is a waste in my mind because it restricts the soldier to one weapon instead he can switch to another if his gets dammaged etc.
Something like that would come in more handy as a heavy support for regular light infantry.

OK first chill the heck out. Second having an industry for things like this in the united states creates jobs…see jobs good. Another things like this and many other military technology have helped the common man more than can ever be counted.
As many some here have said this tech will be used for disabled ppl both vets and civilians. Plus construction, search and rescue, on aircraft carriers for many task hell the possiblitites are endless.

Big whoop. Every time the Army give its soldiers the ability to carry more, it gives them more to carry.

As a disabled man(vet) with a severe spinal condition I could use that now to help get around. I can can just about walk a few feet, this would allow me to walk and get around. How about getting them to the disabled too.
