With the latest innovations and new techniques that are going on in arms and defense equipments, future soldiers will turn out into a ‘Army of One’ Technology that would be capable of carrying out different operations on their own, even without any sort of intervention from outside. The advanced sound equipment and smarter lasers, new technology and arms that are under the development process of Future Force Warrior scheme of the U S Army, will make the future soldiers more fatal than ever before, and possibly be available by 2010.
These are some of the advancements that will turn future soldiers into Super Soldiers:
� Advanced radar
Advanced radars will allow them to see through the walls and high-tech armors will give them strength and protection from intruders and foes.
� Body-worn sensors
Latest body-worn sensors that monitor respiration, heart rate, and shock waves from bullets will shield and provide a more protective 2-inch gap between soldiers and their armor.
Jean-Louis Dutch DeGay, an equipment specialist at the U.S. Army Soldier Systems said
They will also tell a soldier’s distance and direction, so a medic knows where to go.
� Borg effect
The Borg effect soldiers will be equipped with the laser mounted arms that will enable them to spread the position of enemies to their fellow combatants and then to the Apache helicopters. Next-gen helmets would easily elevate pulsations from the skull and spread sound straight into the head, improving the capacity to distinguish changeable sounds around the soldiers.
� Nanotechnology
With the advancement in nanotechnology soldiers would be able to see even the smallest particles that are sightless to the naked eye. Integrated battle-suits sensors would help to discover chemical and biological weapons. Incorporated automated medical care in the battle-suits will help diminish the hazard of bleeding and hemorrhagic shock in wounded warriors.
� Microscopic trusses weapons
Enhanced weapons prepared by the network of microscopic trusses would absorb energy from bullets, shrapnel or explosion waves as similar as crease precincts in vehicles. The U.S. Army is developing a supple, lightweight amorphous, silicon solar power cells coated onto fabrics for fabricating tents and other foldable exteriors that can revive batteries and replace conventional bulky batteries and power sources.
� Military Free Fall Advanced Navigation System
The Military Free Fall Advanced Navigation System that fits onto a helmet and over the eyes like a pair of goggles will enable soldiers diving from ever high altitudes and land safely even without any previous experience. Built-in GPS unit will confirm the accurate position in help in safe landing. Dan Shedd, a senior mechanical engineer at the U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center said,
Hopefully by the end of fiscal year 2007, we can start procurement of these for the U.S. Marine Corps.
� Sanitize surgical system
Chris Doona, Research chemist at the U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center, has also come up with a sanitize surgical system that can sterilize a kit of surgical instruments using chlorine dioxide just within 30 minutes even without the need of electricity or energy and just weighs under 20 pounds. It certainly would prove life-saving in far off operations.
Doona said,
This system might also eventually find use in emergency response teams, community hospitals and humanitarian aid in Third World countries.
The hot inventions and systems will equip future soldier with up to date technology that will turn them into super-soldiers with lethal weapons as well as powers.
