Working towards power armor

I don't belive I'm the first one to notice this here, but I thought some of the others might like to know about it.

Testing has begun on power exoskeletons for the US military.

Hmm... an exoskeleton system like this would make carrying extra thicker plates of armour easier, not to mention the other heavy equipment that It'll likely be able to help carry. just a matter of time now.

Yeah, but if it would be extra thick and on the whole human body, then there would be no place to put air conditioning...
