What a ‘super soldier’ could wear, carry

[bruno]

Very cool article- the stuff of movies for real. I'm not sure I completely believe the hype, but it's really pretty interesting stuff.

Imagine a soldier: strong enough to carry 200 pounds without breaking a sweat; able to pinpoint a shooter’s location after hearing one shot; able to see what is happening behind walls; able to see a person’s heat signature at night and in bad weather; knowing the location of good and bad guys beyond the periphery of his own vision.

This “super soldier” may sound like the lead character in a summer blockbuster. In truth, the super soldier is you — and this scenario is closer than you think...

Cool Article but I can't see a 185LB Soldier carrying a 200LB Pack for a long period with a wounded comrade on his back even using the HULC . Sounds like "Starship Toopers" and the "Mobile Infranty" to me. Works today "Kill The Bugs!!".
