The TALOs system in use with the U.S. sneaky-shit tier guys.
trash cans
powered armor isn't exactly a bad idea
as long as it isn't like a large mecha from the japanese side of sci fi
a suit that you can wear that provides protection above what a normal soldier can wear and be very mobile while carrying large and heavy weaponry while not being a giant mecha thing
mecha is impractical because its usually top heavy and the legs are the big weakness unless you get into high mobility stuff that flies
a walking tank of sorts
they would be a huge target unless a lot of people had them or had countermeasures to defeat things
the power source would have to last a long time so you don't have to refuel it every 10 minutes
>>28060612
>that
>related to Iron Man in anyway
Its just an exoskeleton which is fucking cool but not fucking Iron Man.
Lockheed Martin HULC is the best thing that includes it's own power supply. It's just legs, nothing else
>>28060706
There's currently no standalone, man-portable power system that could power such a suit. Remember, Fallout's world had succeeded in miniaturizing nuclear fusion
As for sheer ballistic protection, my vote would go to full cavalier style full body bomb squad suits
i dunno, a very small tanks?
>>28060720
well the point is that it or a better version with a lighter and/or more powerful power source would allow you to wear heavy plates of armour and carry heavy weapons without sacrificing speed or mobility, and even increasing those attributes by attaching shit like, i dunno, directed thrusters.
so yeah, actually it is related to iron man, to anyone with a tiny amount of imagination. more to the point, it is definitely related to OP's question.
>>28060491
You know you have to be 18+ to post on 4chan, right?
>>28060789
this, pretty much
>>28060807
Ya but why would the military ever use that tho? It would just make a solider a bigger target and no matter how well protected he is something will get through eventually. That or Jihad Jonny could shoot tin man with a rocket and call it quits.
Might as well just invest in robots that do the same shit as a real life "iron man suit".
>>28060491
TALOS can be equipped with the full armor complement while letting a guy carry around a 240. It is not a stretch for them to already have tested out what happens when they drop that heavy pig of a weapon and use that extra carrying capacity for armor instead.
60% Level 4 / ESAPI coverage at the moment if I remember correctly, though unsure if that was chest or whole-body coverage. It could easily be modified to have near total Level 4 coverage or step up the plate thickness or materials used to achieve a theoretical Level 5 for the chest.
It is funny how people keep asking if we're there yet when we're definitively already there, just a little fresh off the boat and still getting our bearings.
>>28060821
>That or Jihad Jonny could shoot tin man with a rocket and call it quits.
So you're essentially forcing the enemy to fight infantry with AT weaponry. Obviously that puts an already poorly trained opponent at an even greater disadvantage.
>>28060720
The mass media are always behind the times and only ever makes pop-culture references to movies and TV even though video games are the most popular medium, more news at 11.
>>28060872
I remember in one of the previous threads about this, Jihadi Anon suggested that insurgents would just put an impact-triggered explosive in a football and kick it towards some unsuspecting armored troopers. Needless to say many other anons had a laff.
>>28060856
Earlier today I was actually designing a plate for the front of the body, with it weighing about 12-14 pounds in comparison to the AR 500 plates that are 8 pounds. My design covered the front of the body with a small bend in the front similar to the keel of a boat, an outwards triangle shape just below the jaw for the helmet to fit and still move. That, combined with a back plate and a full face, riot style bullet proof helmet, mounted on a exoskeleton chassis might do well. Combine that with shoulder pauldrons, and limb protection in the form of heavy kevlar coverings with light resin fiber glass plates from the home made designs and you've got yourself an armored unit under 50 pounds.
>>28060872
AT weaponry is a bit generalizing. I imagine some form of IED would work also. Plus ISIS has stolen shit from the Iraqis which I imagine should include grenades and grenade launchers.
Also this >>28060882
>>28060882
But the point is that their weapons are no linger effective against the armament we've put our troops in, forcing them to use explosives. Besides, We roll in with a convoy that's already explosive resistant, Drop our ACP full of troops near a compound and watch the insurgency fight in close quarters against armored soldiers. Unless they're idiots, they aren't going to use explosives in close quarters. And if they do, as their weapons don't work against our new armored ground units, they'll blow themselves up in the process. You've got to remember; Even to our military, soldiers are expendable.
>>28060886
AR500? I know that one inch of AR550 will stop up to .50 BMG AP at relatively close range. As chassis designs and portable power sources improve, that would be the ideal Level 6 protection for the (frontal) chest and head on "mediumweight" or workhorse powered armor designs. I'm sure that using more expensive materials and multi-layered composites rather than a simple block steel will lighten the weight considerably.

>>28060905
Soldiers do more work when they are not dead. Soldiers can also do more work when they have more freedom in the maneuvers that they have access to; heavy armor protection means that what would have been a suicidal flanking advance in the past would become a highly advantageous push for power armored soldiers. That means less time spent waiting for support and less time for the enemy to bring their support into position, having your infantry go and kill the enemy faster and earlier with less casualties over time.
Actually, reading through your post I'm not sure if you're for or against PA, because the final conclusion does not match up with the points brought up.
>>28060892
Anon, the laugh wasn't directed at the people wearing armor...
>>28060936
My mistake I thought you meant real football where you throw the ball when on impact would explode.
>>28060944
The point is that kicking the ball would have caused the ball to explode. And I assume that he meant a *soccer* ball, because the topic of that old discussion was about ways that insurgents could hide their weapons as completely innocuous objects before ambushing their targets.
>>28060936
Both your responses were to my comments, beyond the football joke. Anyways, lets start with this; The company Ekso Bionics already has an exoskeletal design that can hold up to two hundred pounds. If we fit that, which is just a chest and leg mounting, With the AR 500, or even AR 550 armor, the 500 rated and tested to stop 7.62 and even .308, on the chest, both front and back in an angled design much like knights plate (Much like the rear of a boats keel) and fit the arms and legs with lighter material such as heavy kevlar sleeves, or even an apron, this could be possible. If its not to weighted, a gel layer might even fit in the chest, protecting the wearer from external concussive forces.
>>28060767
What good is it if it's just legs? Can he carry more shit? Can he run faster?
>>28060491
The closest thing to real "power armor" that might actually become a commercial or defense product is neither powered nor armor.
>>28061046
>What good is it if it's just legs?
Literal autism.
>>28060491

the bullshit super compact fusion power source aside of course.
>>28061069
>isn't whats currently being developed fairly close to the power armor frame shown in fallout 4?
No. There are no motive components or control circuitry in existence with the durability, power output, response times, energy requirements, or ballistic protection needed to justify exoskeletons beyond wearable crutches to stop troops from being discharged for blown out knees and other weight related leg injuries.
>>28060491
Power armor is useless without mobility, and they're only useful in close quarters where the main threats are gunfire and fragmentation
Basically if your power armored squad can't clear a building in half the time regular infantry can then you're wasting time and resources.
Deploying PA troops against AFVs is also foolish as you're still exposing your multi billion dollar equipment to ordnance that can kill their pilots through their suits
>>28061168
Its called POWERED armor. The whole point of it is to have someone have the same mobility while be able to have really strong armor to block most small arms fire. Presumably it will easily survive unless its a direct or near direct hit. The fallout power armor now works in a reasonable way (exoskeleton, before it was pure magic) that is realistic bar the power source.
>>28060882

>>28060936
The two big requirements for a power unit designed to energies a powered exoskeleton is:
- Energy density and
- Power density
The energy density being how long the power can be provided for and the Power density is how much energy can be given at any one moment.
Now current batteries easily have enough Power density but they are lacking something fierce in the Energy density area, everybody knows this.
However until recently, there has been a technology that had the energy density in spades but a very low power density. That is Atomic (nuclear decay) batteries.
The low power density is due to the low efficiencies that they work at (2 - 8%)
But recently new types of Atomic batteries have been developed with efficiencies of 53% with the possibility of even better levels. This gives atomic batteries an order of a magnitude higher Power density. enough to easily power a exoskeleton continuously for some odd 30 years.
Now granted its probably never going to be used in this fashion due to the word Nuclear and what not but the radionucleotides used are rather safe and only become a problem when released into the body, kind of like how most toxins inside chemical batteries would reck one day.

Its attached to an exoskeleton that completely opens up, so you walk into and out of it. Its not like a shirt.

it seems sort of risky to send someone into combat with a fission pile strapped to his back
>>28061308
Please do not use the term fission pile
In most circles that represents a full blown nuclear reactor...
The Nuclear battery references in the post you responded to does not contain any fissionable material.
Its not a nuclear reactor...
Probably the Raythean XOS 2, it just needs armor plates and a mobile power source.

Power armor will not be used by armies any time soon. That doesnt stop the private sector which is where it will really come from. Its only a matter of time till somebody goes powered bear suit. If one crazy Canadian can do this wait for a group of underemployed engineers gets working on it for the love of powerarmor and not just profit.
>>28062141
Mobility can be increased with some diesel powered jump boots. Throw some of those Japanese elderly exoframe servos, a back pack turbine geny and a passive cooling vest. GTG.
The biggest obstacle power armor doesn't address is how to navigate through mud and unstable ground?
>>28060936
Hell- I've seen a 5/8ths inch plate of it stop a .338 ball at point blank. Sure if it had been worn the user would have been severely injured due to deformation of the plate into his center chest, but it didn't penetrate.
>>28061177
>The whole point of it is to have someone have the same mobility while be able to have really strong armor to block most small arms fire
No. No, no, no. The 'man amplifier' is retro, it's a cool vidya theme and makes for ebin maymays, but blocking small arms is not it's job in conventional war.
The point of exoskeletons is carrying more stuff without getting as tired. That's what wins - troops that aren't worn out, and who can carry lots more guided weapons to defeat tanks with APS, crack uparmored trucks, or simply move through woods with a backpack without risking a broken ankle.
More hard armor is cool, and it helps in COIN DA, but it's not the point and it never has been.
>>28062175
Bellbottom pants, airflow from generator turbine directed through pants into hovercraft skirts around each boot. Ground pressure wut, my suits walk on water.
>>28062211
Reminds me of the STALKER version of the exoskeleton, honestly. I mean if you could have more armour plating as people have said, but that's not gonna help much if the enemy has some high caliber weapons. Probably better to have a soldier that's capable of carrying a shitload of supplies and ammo.
Less of a force multiplier and more of a logistics amplifier, right?

Here's Revision's entry.
>>28062306
The major protection factor in the bear suit was the inner air bag. A self replenishing crumple zone between the articulated plates and the occupant.
Use something pic related like riding on a form fitting frame with small disk breaks to slow and lock off limb movement. Use the bounce of the muscles dynamically riding the suit instead of opening valves statically making the suit follow and anticipate. Open valves and deflate for crouching and inflate them to get up, lift a load, or preload before releasing the breaks for burst strength. Bounce around letting the air bags take the weight only putting effort on the rebound, locking off the limbs with the breaks to be released later like a spring.

It's a powered lower-body system with a load-bearing spine linked to the chest carapace and helmet. Uses either Li-ion or aluminium-air batteries, lasts about 8 hours per battery but you can turn the power on/off at will.
Has 60% hard armor coverage; the spine keeps rifle hits to the head from snapping your neck.

>Uses either Li-ion or aluminium-air batteries
Last I checked they were experimenting with small turbine generators that were so quiet you couldn't hear them unless you were in the same room and fuel cells that used JP8 as a more expensive silent alternative, both would last over 24 hours if I remember correctly.
>>28061046
>Can he carry more shit?

How long till the suits incorporate the back half of big dog into a centaur suit letting one grunt haul a half dozen rucks at once.

>>28067625
Never. It was just a proof of concept prototype. The military has no intention of ever using big dog or anything like.
>>28067735

>>28060905
Can't they just use air fuel bombs to produce a concussive force to kill or deafen and disable the guy in the suit? Or a molotave and just burn him out? I feel a more vehicular thing like a tank is better.
>>28067956
Not in the field.
They have made full body rigs that run on shore power connections, but they haven't rigged them for independent operations.
I suspect the military is at the point of knowing it's a useful idea but still not being sure what to do with it.

>>28068007
Oh they sure as hell know what to do with it; tougher infantry is not such a complicated concept to wrap one's head around. The problem is how to adjust doctrine to fit the new product. A lot of current infantry doctrines (particularly the US) play very safe with their troops, sometimes overly so to the point of compromising effectiveness, because of how squishy each person is. Armor that could shrug off intermediate and full-power rifle rounds would require a very different and more aggressive approach to make the most out of them, but how will that reconcile with the other existing conventional assets and personnel and how should they now maneuver in support of these armored troopers? It will be a bit of a shakeup in organization once the technology is mature, I'm sure.
To sum the anti-PA arguments:
>Too expensive
>Can't power
>What are tanks
>Mud
>Hurr durr muh AP rounds
To counter:
>Too expensive
Make good PA, make less tanks to fund it. Don't need a batallion of abrams when we got a bunch of dudes in bigass armour
>Can't power
Well we are really close to solving this. In the meantime developing a low tech exoskeleton is important. Tanks weren't perfected overnight
>What are tanks
See above.
>Why do we need tanks? Thry'll just get stuck in mud, or blown up, or the pilots inside will be killed by X.
-You
>Mud
Regular soldiers struggle with mud as well. Power armour lets em lift their legs with more force and tire less quickly.
>Hurr durr muh AP rounds
>Why give our foot soldiers body armor? An explosive will just take them out anyway
With high mobility and eventual reduced costs, PA will beat out tanks in every way, especially when one man mortar teams become common with PA suits.
>>28060905
>Unless they're idiots, they aren't going to use explosives in close quarters
an easy way to power these things is to have on outboard generator, mount it on a humvee or something that also acts as transport for the suit when not in combat and have miles of power cabling attached in between.

Power armor is a bad idea.
The loss of mobility, the likelihood of malfunction, the voltages involved being lethal, the economics of carrying a power unit and recharging it.
Also it would wear the person in the suit out, the fatigue would be dangerous. It might have some use in a swat team style unit, maybe.
>>28073980
This is what i always thought. It seems like power armor could be crazy useful in those situations where you have to clear a hostile building, as a massive walking shield to the rest of the guys.
but outside of that one specific use, it wont be useful until its crazy fucking advanced.

Exoskeletons will only get better once nylon artificial muscles are ruggedized and actually implemented.

I think the marines from starcraft 2 have the best and most realistic power armor, I hope it was based off the original star troopers because the idea's were solid.

It'd be swiss cheese.
The FT was designed to stop WWI AP rifle ammo and shrapnel.

I still think this shit's gonna be a dlc for 4, bet ya 5 bucks.
>>28076957
It's all electronic so a safety for that situation would be beyond easy, have some sort of sensor to detect if the lense had anything on it, if it does, trigger pull does literally nothing until you fix it.
>>28077477
I want to know why the Hellfire armor was completely absent from 4...

Sorry to burst you bubble but everything in the game was literally based on 2nd Edition Warhammer 40k.
The lead designer was a former GW employee.
So let that potential "realsim" set in.
>>28077858
sounds about right with how it's been going since hots.
oh well, I still like the design >>28077789

>threat to a guy in a full set of T-60 power armor
wut... again
The only risk is glowing ones due to their ability to shit out fuckloads of rads, assuming the suit wouldn't block much of that in a universe where radiation exposure is pretty much expected in war even before the bombs fell.
Go load up on a bunch of PCP and try to kill a Humvee or something like that with your bare hands, probably won't go well.
Super mutants would actually be a threat.
>>28077916
I can kill a humvee.
with my bare hands.
