DUST Search - The US is Developing its first Dropsuit

Instead of an arms-race we're going to witness a 'tech-race' until somebody gets mad and drops a nuke.

It's obvious America just wants to invade and rule every country they can whom is weaker than that and one day, purely through
fire-power, money, man-power and resources they will enslave people in LDCs and use them solely
to gather resources to pump into America's economy.

Right now all they have are crappy excuses to steal resources but soon they'll be able to do what they want.

It will happen. Unless wars start to turn very nuclear/biological/atomic. I know other countries won't
just sit down, bend over and let America have their way like they want to.

Terrorising the terrorists, Team America: World Police.

The only reason things like this exist is to wage war and feel like the bigger man. If you let a force become too big,
soon it will be too late!

I could be talking out of my ass but we are due some very nasty wars in the future and I can see the whole planet
being blown into oblivion.

Hey we already have lasers and rail gun tech, the US can go either the route of the Amarr (PLEASE GOD) or the Caldari. looks minmatar.

calvin b Molon Labe. RISE of LEGION 849	Posted - 2013.11.05 22:17:00 - [34] - Quote This has been in development for at least 5 years. This project is part of many that the US has been developing to aid those who loose limbs in combat. DARPA is the brains behind this and many other black op projects. Look no further than the new DDX destroyer that just set sail. America realizes its not brunt power that will win the next war, it is precise surgical strikes with advance technology that will be the winner of future combat. If everyone knew what they have been working on for the last 10 years they would have a different thought on America and its true dominance in warfare. Think of it like this, China just launched its first nuclear sub capable of striking America and killing 12 million or more people with nuclear weapons. America just launched the DDX destroyer that has the capability to level all of China's east coast without the use of nuclear weapons. There is a reason America has been spending trillions on defense and we on average a year spend more than the next 10 countries combined. If you really want your skin to crawl look up what DARPA has been doing with robotic insects and birds. Do not eat the yellow snow

All the power and destruction of a nuke with out any fallout. DARPA is also responsable for some of the best things (the internet not al gore)and the worst (agent orange, vx, semisentient drones) Also idk if anyone's mentioned it yet but the Germans have lazors that cut through 1.5 of steel at a hella long range, forgot the actual distance. Plans to mount the system on tanks. Something witty here. How about? #DELAY 514 ... been waiting for a rail rifle longer than SoTa's been trolling.

Stated TALOS to be deployed next year, so you can imagine that EMPs will be produced as the obvious counter technology.

Me. They would seriously mess up our atmosphere and global temperatures. Not to mention tectonic plates. You mean less than all the nukes tested though out the 50s through 70s? They're not going to be akin to meteorites, more like falling debri from space. Terminal velocity can only do so much. Now I'd agree with you and be alarmed if they were made to accelerate past TV, but it's all free fall. That's why they gotta be telephone pole sized to achieve results. Something witty here.

They were talking about it then. Advancements and testing must have went well for the R and D department. They always tell you news that are years late as if they just started when they've been working on this for so long.

The amount of power that it would take to run the suit cannot be contained within the suit or attached to the suit. They could use a large power cable but a mobile power plant is unlikely.

To piggy back what the robot said; the only delay with mech suits is the powet source, there is currently nothing small enough or quiet enough to provide power for military grade mechs.

Hell we have better body armor that we could fit our soldiers on the field but pretty much no one uses it because it's expensive compared to modern armor plates. Wars faught with robotic exoskeletons? I'll be old before I see that day but I might see Robot Wars 2.0 by the time I hit middle age. As for those who think Japan did it first, while their publicly available technological innovation is impressive, they're hardly practical in military environments. I'm not at all afraid of a robot that can serve me tea with proper manners. If it throws hot tea at me for refusing, I'll kick it's ass.

I don't think anyone will be able to deliver an integrated baseline system for a couple years. Some interesting applications but true leap ahead capability is ways off.
