Mega Soldiers?

This link is to what seems to be a Money Morning ad....off yahoo news....
Im loath to go any further into the labrynth but could there be new exoskeletons or other personal upgrades to the GI himself in the works?
One that civvies will be swarming over by 2020?
Anyone got the scoop on some advanced personal gear coming down the pike real soon?
The introduction of enhancement to the person of the usual GI should be a game changer on todays battlefields....
Special forces would benefit greatly with a revolutionary force multiplyer that gives them a distinct edge against superior numbers which they often end up facing.....
Anything that enables these guys will make a huge difference in the war on Terror......and I want one too.......................

It looks like VR goggles to provide a telepresence for training. Sorry no Incredible Hulk suit this time

I think exo-skeletons will be a big thing as technology moves on, here's a video of a guy lifting a car with a home made suit, I'd wager the military are already working on something better

I thought Darpa was further advanced than us by 50 yrs.....was hoping for something like a real breakthrough....
oh well.......

Something that worked all the time, didn't need a lot of different batteries, could be operated in the rain at night when you're running at full speed, didn't need to be disassembled and oiled in the field, and never let you down would be way better. Oh, and something you didn't have to lug around.

SORDAC goes through a lot of stuff that gets sort of tested and then dropped, or only used once for a specific task.

The sort of thing you see SOCOM bid out is a really good waterproof camera housing for a certain digital camera they like. Or a super dense Zodiac electric motor battery that you can break into a dozen pieces for transport by a team, then put back together in the rain in the dark by touch, and it will still work with one or two chunks missing. It beats lugging Die Hards, which were the previous tech. Oh, and they can't burst into flame and fry you if they short, you put it together backwards, it gets ruck dropped, or if it takes a round.

THAT'S the super dooper enabling tech you need. Eyeball mounted lasers, that's more a SOG/SAG thing.

I thought that robot mule was pretty slick....(it didn't fall down when they kicked it)....know if they ever got to pack a real combat load ...in combat yet??

LOL you actually think DARPA would show the truly scary wunderweapons to the public? No they reserve that honor for the PTB alone.
