Very cool.
Looks similar to the one DARPA is developing.[/QUOTE] and Japan has had the Hal system in use and for rent for atlest 4 years and the USA is just NOW developing power exoskeletons, I wont be surprised when japan is the first to deploy military power armor they would be ones the make halo a reality.

Uhm, no, DARPA has been way ahead of Japan in this field. Darpa's has powered arm servos as well, this does not.
[QUOTE=bravehat;42021009]Kinda got a super long way to go, keep in mind that the Mjolnir armour was so powerful that it would break the bones of non spartans every time they moved.[/QUOTE]
Nope. We'll definitely have 1000lb brain-interfacing armor that can only be piloted by human beings that have been grown to have their body intensely modified for the specific purpose of piloting said armor within the next 10 years. About the same time-frame in which we achieve faster-than-light travel, open a gate to Hell on Mars, and discover the Charon Relay near Pluto.
[QUOTE=bravehat;42021544]The interfacing wouldn't be too difficult even in a year or two, we just recently managed to take control of someones hand, and make it move using signals from someone elses brain.

The power supply, could honestly probably run off a small petrol or diesel engine just now, it would probably be pretty shit though and one half decent hit from an explosive would set the whole thing on fire.[/QUOTE]
wouldn't a petrol or diesel engine also be kind of loud? i guess it would probably look and sound kind of scary

That... not so much.
Lol the title made me instantly think this thing was remote controlled, would make more sense with the radiation and stuff...
[QUOTE=TNOMCat;42023705]Lol the title made me instantly think this thing was remote controlled, would make more sense with the radiation and stuff...[/QUOTE]
That would of made it autonomous.
Which in the situation it would be used in would be instantly much more cost effective.
on one hand you have an irradiated chunk of metal that can be replaced. Or a living person that cant be... Kind of a no brainer

With a proper rad suit, you can still just have an irradiated chunk of metal. The benefit of the suit is having an actual person in there that can react to changes.

I think they already have some RC bots handling cleanup in the worse parts

[QUOTE=Str4fe;42020854]Was expecting something like a power armor/crazy stuff like that because of the way the title was worded.
Cool nevertheless.[/QUOTE]
To the contrary I think that looks REALLY cool. Its aesthetically pleasing and low profile.

According to a Youtube video, Professor Sankai is running NeXT hardware in his office. :v:

Even though Japan exports and creates a lot of high tech stuff, the country it self in some aspects (maybe apart from bigger cities) is quite low tech.

This is a good read about it

Some similaraties I may say..
if the russians get a hold of this technology; squatting will surely be the start of the impending doom of destruction

DARPA's probably has more body armor and gun holsters instead of the massive tungston chestplate, what I'm wondering though is why it has no protection on the legs
[editline]1st September 2013[/editline]
at least I think its tungston if this is the hazmat version because that is the ideal radiation shield but it weighs a fuckton so its difficult to carry
[QUOTE=Cone;42021329]why would you even use exoskeletons at this point for anything other than heavy lifting? they're impractically bulky, they require you to carry around a big-ass power source if you want to do anything you would actually do in a military operation, a costly redesign would be necessary to properly incorporate them in 99% of modern militaries, and they'd be super expensive for little extra actual function. sure, you can carry more stuff, but that's hardly a task exclusive to the army.
ultimately, trying to field this stuff for anything other than what it's been designed for would be overly expensive and largely useless[/QUOTE]
I believe the US army has a battery technology far greater than is commercially available or even commonly known. You would want to wear one so you don't get fucking shot.

ok first your paranoia is showing
secondly, you'd have to first redesign the entire layout of the armed forces. then you'd be running around in a big heavy suit of armor (which mind you doesn't actually cover anything, it just lets you lift stuff) now if the battery fails or a actuator dies you're fucked. you're stuck in a 1.5 ton suit, with no easy way to get out.
that's what we like to call a bad situation
[QUOTE=frozensoda;42043990]I believe the US army has a battery technology far greater than is commercially available or even commonly known. You would want to wear one so you don't get fucking shot.[/QUOTE]
there's just so many ways that you can get left helpless in a suit like that - if the battery fails, the best case scenario is that you can't move and you'll have difficulty getting out of the suit. if you're really unlucky it might break a bone, and since the suit would likely be comprised of heavy metals and Kevlar all strapped and wired up onto you, you wouldn't be able to just take it off and escape.
if someone shoots you, you could get knocked over and have difficulty getting back up due to the suit's weight.
a critical piece of the suit's wiring could be disabled somehow, leaving limbs helpless and possibly broken.
a dumb mistake in over or underestimating the suit's power could, again, lead to injury.
explosives, like an IED or mine, could simultaneously send you flying in what's basically a heavy Kevlar coffin [I]and[/I] break something important in the suit, once more leaving you helpless and badly wounded.
also you're not exactly gonna be easy to pick up and carry to safety unless everybody else has a suit just like yours, and given the cost of outfitting a big bunch of dudes with this kind of system, i doubt that's the case. so you're A) next to impossible to evacuate, B) liable to break something and find yourself unable to move, C) a very obvious target, and D) pretty much not any more durable than anyone else, because a single stray bullet could still knock you down to the ground and keep you there. if ANYTHING goes wrong, you are a very expensive, currently dead in the water liability.
I don't know hwy you guys are assuming I meant they were for combat from my first post, and that I think every single soldier will wear them from the second post.
It would be a useful technology to have, so they probably have it. Even if they never see combat it would be nice to be able to lift a truck off of a fallen soldier without having to bring in one of those big monstrous rescue vehicles.
