Not a powersuit like Starship Troopers (the book, not the movie) but more like Robocop or Batman, or Boba Fett minus the combination jetpack / rocket launcher.

Heheh ^^
I remember the one that broke the guys legs, that was silly.
*edit* oh wait... the one I was thinking of was the goliath suit... much siller.

IWOOT.
The guy is a legend. Not only is the suit cool, but he's doing this to save the lives of soldiers in the field. I would certainly buy one. Legend. Absolute legend. Sounds a bit loony, but legend all the same.

Good idea but if we can't even get body armor to our own troops what are the odds of getting them super suits?

So a laser pointer to recon nmy snipers... so If I was the nmy sniper I would think: hey a red line/dot that goes back to some fool ... lets shoot at it
I like his attitude, save lifes and al that - but it seems as hes just a big boy that want big toys.
And whats wrong with nimble and agile?

i've been reading up on Troy Hurtubise on the internet today and critics have referred to him as a nut and a *****pot. he does display some odd behavior in news video footage but he gave me the impression that he is genuinely interested in making things that will save lives.
i wonder why he doesn't have a website

Its best to ask the everyday grunt who's in the field if such a suit would be feasable.
Hell, if they say its of use, for example, to exposed gunners on top of humvees, I say more power to the suit and him. At least he tried giving something to the men and women who are fighting
EDIT: also, I wouldnt mind getting one of those myself. Would help alot on the daily commute to work/school and home. Lots of muggers here

I had a friend get attacked by a bear once. The mere fact that this guy's suit let him walk away is good enough for me.
And, no questions on how he got the elephant gun, I'm simply impressed that it took the round! Next test... armor piercing NATO rounds. Of course, if ya can't protect major joints (ie: knees, elbows) what good is the suit actually going to do against explosives... or a well-aimed/lucky, stray bullet? A soldier without legs may as well be a dead soldier.

Not to mention looking helluva-cool in the process as well.
Sidenote: Joint protection can be easily done by wearing some of those cloth-like bulletproof stuff. Heard it was made from spider's silk for strength or something.

The US and the UK are actually already working on a type of armour like that. The US is also hoping to have Chameleon armour and smart bullets (like in the Fifth Element).
CLICK HERE --
Another cool future solder project is Future Force Warrior (FFW), and the UK's Future Integrated Soldier Technology (FIST). There are also French, German, and Austrailian programs too. Look up Future Force Warrior on wiki and that page will have links to all the other country's programs.

I know he has put effort into it and all, but really its laughable what he has done. He is sitting there being completely ignorant to the fact that he's wanting to design something for the US/Can military... does he seriously think they havent already done research leaps and bounds more along than his? 1 person, and maybe a couple buds, doing research vs an entire government research agency with billions to spend. I know sometimes the less money and smaller research teams thinking outside the box is better, but I dont think thats the case in this.
I cant remember where / when I seen it but his idea with laser pointer on his head, in US military theres already a system similar to that except much better. The system shoots an IR beam at the target that is not visible to the naked eye, but all the soldiers could see it due to their own equipment. I'm not an expert on this sh!t but I've lived in the military the past 22 years of my life, I'm 22. And I'm pretty sure this system is actually already being utilized in Afghanistan's mountains, and if I'm not mistaken the IR beam actually creates a small heat signature that they can continue see'ing after the IR beam is lost and they can infact 'tag' multiple targets with it. However, this system isn't an exoskell or part of the future warrior concept, but is a small eye piece dropping from the helmet and IR beams attached to the sight of the rifles.

This is pretty fascinating, but what's with the really stupid descriptions given of the components?
