Super soldiers - 'one member army' in the future

In the next 3 years, the Pentagon may begin testing high-tech devices that make each soldier an ' independent army ' by equipping them with superior combat capabilities. For example, the ability to see through walls thanks to the advanced radar observation glass, super self defense ability and super power thanks to the high-tech armor .

Although some technologies will take many more years to be tested on the battlefield, new generation military equipment that is developing the Future Army of the US Army's Initiative, such as equipment Advanced sound and intelligent laser systems, which could be equipped for soldiers in 2010, promise to make them unprecedented killer super soldiers.

In order to improve self-defense, soldiers will carry a sensor system to monitor the respiratory frequency, heart rate and identify the collision waves (from bullets), thereby helping the military team know when they Being wounded and looking to the place. Thanks to the laser system available on the weapon, the warrior easily transmits the opponent's location information to teammates or combat vehicles such as Apache helicopter or Abrams tank. Meanwhile, the new generation helmet can record the concussion from the skull and transmit sound directly to the head instead of using microphones and headphones. This type of hat also helps soldiers improve their ability to distinguish different types of sounds.

In the near future, the new version of the Raven robot aircraft - weighing about 2 kg, wingspan 1.3 m, equipped with infrared cameras to provide images for soldiers on the ground currently used on Iraq and Afghanistan battlefields - will be integrated with digital catapults, allowing remote enemy scouts. Currently, the US Department of Advanced Defense Research Projects (DARPA) is supporting the development of a full body armor with a marine system.

The radar glass allows you to see through the wall up to 15 m thick.

The engine-powered force, which features artificial muscles, enhances the strength, endurance and speed of the warrior. This shirt helps every soldier to operate a weapon that normally requires many people. The US Army is expected to test this type of shirt in 2008. In addition, DARPA is also building a radar glass that allows to see through walls to identify targets.

Besides, American scientists have also researched and developed wound patches for soldiers who have never trained to use sound waves to prevent internal bleeding at the battlefield. Internal hemorrhage requires professional treatment, and if late intervention can lead to death or the death of that part.

In the long run, US soldiers will benefit from nanotechnology - helping to create microscopic devices, about a billionth of a meter. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Nanotechnology Center is developing a sensor system that integrates into military uniforms to detect enemy chemical-biological weapons, and suggests ways of coping when meeting right. Future military uniforms will also feature an automatic health care feature, capable of self-medicating whenever soldiers are injured.

A number of other assistive technology technologies are also in the process of developing research such as thin-laced solar batteries on textiles for tent sewing, self-refueling tarpaulins, advanced free-fall positioning systems. on helmets or glasses to help paratroopers from high altitude can find response points, even if they cannot identify, or antiseptic systems for quick, non-electrically operated devices and suitable for use in lips Mobile school.
