The chief of the SEALs wants to develop a suit for soldiers (registration is easy). Exosqueleton and liquid body armor are on the menu.

Given that the link triggers a whale load of pop ups demanding that I subscribe to whatever that is, could you give a brief synopsis of what it says?

EDIT Nevermind. I typed the link in manually and bypassed all that popup stuff. No idea why it did that.
I note that a demonstration has apparently already happened. Wonder how it went.

Considering that guys in mud huts have managed to destroy armored vehicles that cost half a million dollars, I'm not holding out hope that this will be as effective as they think.

 

[Klirshon]

It won't be as effective as they want it to be. It still has a squishy human inside it.

 

[PigKnight]

A nearby explosion would still liquefy the person inside.

 

[Hand of Evil]

Think I would go Dalek - you could have a small flying platform along the lines of a Parrot AR Drone and get more out of it.
