Superior.

None of this shit ever comes true

See: 2001 articles about anything in the 20teens

Considering this is only three years away, it may have some more meat to it than that.

New Combat Shirt.

they need to find a way to take all that weight off soldier's necks.

9 years in the army and I have a titanium plate holding my spine together, in my neck.

looks hot as fuck, like asthetic but at the same time it looks like I can suffocate in that from the heat. Is this made with breathable fabrics?

Exosuits?

I don't think it says anything about fabrics used. Might want to double check source, or look somewhere else.

Spec Ops is going to be testing TALOS, something similar to what you're thinking of.

I'd rather be LRRP mode desu. All that shit looks too heavy/hot.

I like how they put armor on the legs because why not, the struts are there anyway

Constant, and consistent increases in weight are not a good thing.

How about a program that can "see what we can do" with 80 lbs.?

I guess you didn't read the article. The system is designed to cut down the current weight.

"Already, improved ballistics materials have allowed the Army to cut the weight of TEP, when compared to the Army’s current heavy-duty option, the Improved Outer Tactical Vest. The IOTV, when loaded with heavy plates, weighs about 31 pounds, while a comparable TEP system checks in at about 23 pounds, or 26 percent lighter."

" The material has a similar feel to the Army combat shirt, but is more comfortable and offers ballistic fragmentation protection, Brown said. It also eliminates the need for the Deltoid Auxiliary Protector, an add-on to the IOTV which has driven soldier complaints for being bulky and obstructive. The shirt is moisture-wicking and has a degree of breathability, Brown said, adding to comfort."

They say this every fucking time. In Reality they are thinking let's see if we can make some stuff lighter so we can make them carry even more gear.

>>31075258
That helmet is fucking stupid, in every way possible.
