Soldiers of the Future, this is freaking sweet.

Ive seen this robot suit before, but for those who havent seen it, its pretty cool. The best thing is towards the end when they show the prototype suits to go over it, awesome...

Dude the white model looks like a fat Master Chief!

Within we might be using suits similar to thw Crysis Nanosuit! xD
Awesome.

By 2020 that exoskeleton will be incorporated to a thin suit and the exoskeleton will be made with nano technology and Carbon-Nanotubes which are appartently a couple tens of thousands of times stronger than steel, and will be the strongest material on earth.

Mass homicide for all!

The army is murder; there is no getting away from that.

I'll admit that things change a little with conscription, but otherwise one choses to join and one knows they will be required to kill people, therefore they want to kill people, therefore they are murderers.Mr_Mohawk

Oh, so most of them are only helping people murder others; that makes a lot of difference.

Let me guess, you're the type of person that protests at dead soldier's funerals.

I'll accept that I am rather radical in my views but most of the blame doesn't rest on the individual soldiers but the people who started the wars in the first place and force-fed the masses patriotism until some started believing it enough to kill others.

http://nsrdec.natick.army.mil/media/photo/index.htm Just scroll through the Gallery and find "Future Force Warrior" or "FFW (and FFC for their concept)

I believe these guys are making a "Crysis" nano-suit, doesn't look as cool as the Crysis one, but it will do all the same stuff, including what the HEV suit in half-life does (like administer antidote and stuff.)

I wish I could find a video though.

It will do exactly what that robot thing does and MORE, but for now, we use da robot!!!

You think the battery life would run out pretty quickly, right?camreeno360

Its gotta, but this is just a prototype, they said they were working on it for 6 years, so 6 years from now itll be smaller, stronger, faster, and must have a long battery life.

Yeah the big one looks like its be like a version 1 suit to fit the huge robot, but the smaller one would be an upgrade once they get smaller.

Thats... actually kinda scary. What happens if someone programs that to move on its own and attack people? How would we take it down? (Now, we just shoot the wires, but later, when armored, we're gonna be pretty Fuc*ed. The thought that humankind could find a way to make killing machines that do all the work without being easily stopped before we find a cure to cancer, aids, and the common cold is a disturbing thought.

So you want to have sex with Samus or something?

Anyway, if they had that suit finished today I would so join the military. It is that cool.

They've already done it to some degree with aircraft. It won't be long before they can operate these exoskeletons remotely. You can count on that. That's just what our government needs: an even greater sense of impunity. :?
