The US military wants an army of soldiers and robots by 2050

According to Popularmechanics , the United States is hoping to build a special army, gathering soldiers with superhuman strength and telepathy, helping the US military dominate on every battlefield in the next 30 years. .

This army will be able to hear super sensitive, impressive muscular strength and can communicate by telepathy. Of course these are expectations but to create such technologies for soldiers is not easy.

This army is expected to have superhuman strength and telepathy.

However, the heads of the US Department of Defense believe that new military technologies will appear in the next few years and will soon be applied in 2050 and turn ordinary soldiers into a super soldier.

A recent US Department of Defense study predicts special abilities like super-sensitive hearing, muscle control, and telepathy will become a reality within the next 30 years if the pace of technological development continues. Acting like today.

Specifically, the US Department of Defense's Cyborg Soldier 2050: Human / Machine Fusion and the Implications for the Future of the DOD highlights predictions of the soldiers' capabilities over the next 30 years. Which has some highlights as follows:

  1. Currently US soldiers use night vision goggles with a bulky size. But in the future, US soldiers may be equipped with the same type of inner lens that can even function digital zoom and support augmented reality (AR) technology to display important data. , such as enemy position, travel route.
  2. Future US troops may be equipped with a special military uniform, using the gene-optogenetic technology, which helps restore and control the muscles of the body. It aids in relaxing muscles when tired and helps them to recover sooner.
  3. Improve hearing, help increase the ability to coordinate with teammates when fighting. Hearing protection is one of the important elements on the battlefield. At the moment soldiers often wear ear protection and noise protection from gunfire. But this device is quite bulky and if there is a compact device, it will certainly be much more useful.
  4. Enhance nerve capacity, help to transfer information faster. This is definitely a revolutionary ability because it allows soldiers to communicate information to teammates and commanders right on the battlefield without the use of communication devices.

Most likely they will only be used for special forces of the army.

Technology feasibility is probably not the only problem because these new technologies will initially be very expensive. Therefore it is likely that they will only be used for special forces of the army.
