The metal suit the Pentagon wants would be all but impervious to bullets and shrapnel, and be able to continuously download and display live video feeds from overhead drones. Relying on tiny motors, the exoskeleton would enable a soldier to run and jump without strain while carrying 100 or more pounds.

It would, at least in theory, be able to stanch minor wounds with inflatable tourniquets — in the unlikely event the armor is breached. It also would carry a built-in oxygen supply in case of poison gas, a cooling system to keep soldiers comfortable and sensors to transmit the wearer's vital signs back to headquarters.

Think of the wars we'll endure when we don't have to send humans into battle

There will always be humans in battle on Earth. With drones more will be the ones who don't do the fighting, but suffer the consequences anyway Sad
