US Military Uniforms of the Future

Hey this is pretty cool. This could serve us well. If it means less causalties i'm all up for it. But the cash for this has to come from somewhere. How much will these cost? But as soon as we suffer our first casualty China will quickly grab the body to reverse engineer the suit.

Looks like the dream that man has had as far back as the ancient greeks of invisiblty may soon be realized. The suit created in Japan shows how sound the concept is. A little predator influence me thinks on both sides of the ocean. With millions of dollars thrown at this tech and some really smart people working on it will lead to some amazing advancements in the comming years.

Well first these suits or uniforms will be used in spec ops then later it will begin to be common use for regular troops and the Chinese cant be in every war we are in like in Iraq I don't see any Chinese waiting to grab our soldiers weapons and body armor. But those Chinese they sure do like to copy and steal err...

Well China has enough money to invest in stealing a copy. The soldiers like pretty "high tech". I think that this will integrate very nicely with that new computerized gun the US was getting. But what I want is something for snipers.

Snipers are going to love this new uniform it will have invisibility affects and night vision and thermal vision all in the visor in the helmet isn't that a snipers dream I think it is.

Wow can you imagine the day when the us is at war and your looking at it on TV and the troops are turning on their invisibility camo and hopping over houses rasing cars with one hand running 30 MPH due to their exoskeleton all in thanks to DARPA yes that will be some day.

The snipers are not going to be left out when it comes to new tech.
Say hello to the smart bullet.



With smart bullets, snipers could hit targets from several kilometres away.

smart bullet

Man this is some sweet stuff. Man I'd like to be a sniper using this kind of technology. Snipers are stealthy enough this makes them even more effective. I bet that these suits will be for spec forces to start with. But with full gear like that there going to need air conditioners or something. Other wise overheating could kill them instead of the enemy.

Man I would like that smart bullet plus if they have air-conditioned and heating in these uniforms the soldier will be able to operate in any environment without any trouble damn this is sounding more and more like super soldiers of the 21st century.
