Real life Agile Exo-suit!

[Terran Sniper]

In coming years, the United Statres military will develope a new uniform for its soldiers. This uniform will feature climate control, radio uplinks, built in GPS units, and will be able to heal minor wounds. The coolest thing about this suit is that it can change its color to the general color of the surrounding environment. The visor on the full-faced helmet will project thermal imaging and night vision. It will moniter the health status of the soldier wearing it and will transmit data to a central control facility. It will be bullet proof all over the body. I think it'll be able to resist rifle rounds, too.
The point of this thread? The suit looks just like the Agile Exo-Suit.
And I thought Id share the info with all you other Planetside guys (and girls).

[Mejwell]

Any linkage to more information?

[Terran Sniper]

Sorry, I dont have and links. If I find any, I'll post them here as soon as possible.

[NeoTassadar]

Naturally, it will only be for the elite of the elites, since this kind of armor will be very, very expensive.

[Terran Sniper]

But as technology advances and all that equipment become easier and cheaper to make and lighter, it will eventually become the standard uniform for the military.

[Everay]

acctualy, ever heard of the landwarrior system? its basicaly what hes talking about, but its like the pre alpha version of that. its pretty cool

[Terran Sniper]

Everay gets where im goin with this

[Everay]

well, right now, the land warrior has some of those abilitis, but all the stuff, like nightvision, is mounted on the scope of the rifle, and i dont think its armored at all, and it only has a 24 hour battery time, and if you aim it around the corner, you can see whats there because of the lil screen that goes infront of one of your eyes, and it has GPS on it, showing where you are, and umm, its 50 pounds, and thats all i remember

[Terran Sniper]

You're forgetting the standard issue body armor vest

[Everay]

well, really, if they get shot in the torso it dosent matter, the system is dead, since part of the system is based in the front of the body, but i guess it would save their lives

[Spider]

Bleh! This will suck for the US :p the tax payers are gonna revolt :D

And us canadians will probly have it before you do :D as we alway do! (since we have a less military force) I think we have like 400 thousand soldiers :O_O:

[Everay]

developed purly in the military only, so your not gona get it unless its a use refurbished piece of shit that broke 10 times, lacky! :usa: :p

[Mr1337Duck]

I have a big problem with the use of nano-tech to use in our military. If the government becomes evil on us, the the military will be completely unstoppable. This is bad, people should at least have some small chance of defeating their own military if the whole populace joins in.

Is that it? It's a prototype of the Land Warrior system, got it off Jane's.

[Saint]

I have a screenshot of Sputty that looks exactly like that taken on GCmod for BF1942.

[Everay]

it looks a lil like that, but i dont think any of the features are avalible in that armor, its prolly just a mock display, but thats close

[Kaltagesta]

yeah, im geussing that early version didnt have the chameleon ability - he's in white gear in the middle of a green forest.

ph34r me!

[Terran Sniper]

That's not it. what I'm talking about is all black (default) and the helmet is like on the Army's Golden Knights (stunt parachute team) . It covers the whole head and face with one piece. its also not made of cloth. its made of rolled graphite tubes (like, 3micron diameter). thats what makes it bullet proof.

[FlakMan]

THAT'S the Land Warrior system

[Terran Sniper]

yes it is, FlakMan That other thing might be a FUTURE version of LW, but its still not what I'm talkin about.



P.S.: Jane's is wrong

[Hamma]

pics or it didnt happen :D

SHAZAMMM! Found it :nod:

[Mr1337Duck]

This should only be for the elites, the really good snipers and special ops people. Saves money, stops it from being too overpowered.

[EarlyDawn]

The statement I'm about to make is blanket, and applies to all walks of life, not just millitary: Nano-technology is the fucking future, it's my biggest concern for our future society, we must embrace it, and not fear it. Maintain the Nanites and they'll maintain you.

[Mr1337Duck]

Says you until the Nanites take over.

WTF Mr Duck, your already shouting nerf the landwarrior? :lol:



and that nano technology, that shit is the shit! i cant wait, but you know whats even cooler? Quantom Computers, imagin where they can make a harddrive, where a bit of info can be stored on something as small as a atom, and then youll have like 26 terrabites stored on something the size of a atom, and itll be able to recall that info instantaniously, i mean, that shit puts our comps to shame, but i dunno if itll be able to run games, and dont expect it at your home desk in a minimum of 40 years, prolly even a century, i know theyre making one in Australia

[Mr1337Duck]

Comp stuff is fine, but when we put machines doing a human's work all the time for him, thinking about it, like AI, that's what I oppose.

Ack! worse part is the damned thing is beleivable :ugh:

[Setari]

i know spider...thats what i dont like about it..

[Everay]

ohh stfu, please, its not a suit that does everything for you and it just needs a human inside to work, THATS matrix, this is just like power armor, that has the ability to bandage wounds, has alot of armor, and has a mini computer in it to help manage the battle, everything the suit does is controlled by the human, just like a suit


and we wont have anything even able to mimic the human brain for at least the next 80 years, and even further for a computer to be able to think on its own.

[Spider]

I know, we were just saying those advancement will eventually lead to nanites smart enough to revolt :lol:

Luckly we will all be dead by then!

I believe the post by Mr1337duck which i was referring to didnt mean the suit..

[Warborn]

I seriously doubt we'd ever use real AI. I mean, what's the point? You use machines to do jobs that humans can't do, or that we wouldn't want to do. Why give it actual AI if it's doing stuff that we ourselves don't want to do? THe last thing you want is for your robo-janitor to start bitching and moaning about his job sucking and him not getting paid enough. Programming to allow it to do its job very well is absolutely all you need. It doesn't need to be able to learn or adapt or anything else. Even still, in the day that we have machines to handle crap jobs like janitorial work or what have you, I'm sure you'll have human operators overseeing their work to make sure they are doing it right and to solve any problems which may occur. Same goes for the day when we're using machines to fight our wars for us. Humans overseeing the work of the mindless machinery eliminates the need for AI entirely.

[Everay]

truth is mate, when i say 80 years, i mean thats when they plan to have that done, theyre already working on it, i think in australia, they do all the cool science shit there, i would give you the link, but hell if i know where it is now

[Antres Midel]

The coolest thing about the LW system is that it has an arm mounted semi-auto arm cannon. Single barrel. But with four dumbfire mini rockets!

Naturally there will be a counter for this, likely EMP. Like to see your little robots work without power, muahahaha! But I think the military could make some serious money selling stuff like that to the public. Bodyguards and police would love stuff like that.

Obviously it would be toned down a bit, instead of rockets and automatic weapons, maybe the nanotech and a semi-automatic rifle. But the people should always be able to overthrow a tyrannical government.

[Confectrix]

Warborn:

To relay the information back to soldiers and for the soldiers to oversee and operate the combat machines would be time consuming. The human element should be left in; but practically, I think as AI gets better, it will replace huma intervention.

AI is not the same concept as self-awareness. No matter how intelligent a machine is; the goal is to have it do it's job better and better without a human watching it. A sophisicated AI would not make the machine "moan and groan" but would make it do it's job better.

Programming it would make it moan and groan. To my knowledge AI cannot program itself; simply because this requires an objective, ultimate purpose in mind. Machines know one purpose; their objectives programmed into themselves. An AI would acheive better facillitation and completetion of those objectives.

Others:

Nano-technology is an amazing field of emerging science. As with any science, proper care must be inplaced to ensure precatution if undertaken.

Nanites affect things at the molecular level. This could grant a surgeon repairing a brain without making a incision, or grant a "corrupt" individual the ability to infect thousands of people with nanoprobes which consume and rearrange matter. Essentially; he can turn you into a car; a couch, a lamp et cetera.

Nano assemblers must get their atoms from somewhere.

[Veteran]

I read an article last year that said in no unclear terms that the US Army was borrowing design elements from Halo's Mjolnir battle armor for its new infantry armor. It turns out that people still play with action figures into their adulthood, even if the action figure is a human being.

The irony of course is that economic warfare will be the only relevant battleground until humanity faces a natural cataclysm of some sort.

[Happy lil Elf]

Well that's simple you don't give them free will. Never understood why people in movies want to give robots free will, or even actual AI. They don't need to be able to do complex philosophocal reasoning. Just make them smart enough to do the job they're built for.

Nano tech will be cool once they actually get it to work, which they're quite a ways away from doing. Of course what happens if you get a little electrocuted or a bad eletrical storm comes through? I don't think I'd want millions of tiny robots in me at that point :p

Quantum computers would be great. I think at this point though they're purely theorectical and no one can even be sure they're a possibility.

[Lonehunter]

Yeah when I first saw The Matrix I thought, "Wow, this could acctualy happen." Becouse, seriously, it can. AI is NOT a good thing. T3 explains the perfect scenario in which AI could take over.
