Exoskeleton Systems For Military and Civil Uses

More from Sarcos during CES.


 
From Soviet journal (I think, between 1960 and 1990) - "magical skin", with self healing and moisture drainage:

(nanosuit from "Crysis"?)
...
In first half of 60th, in NII-100, worked at 500-kg armoured exoskeleton, with small ICE, machine gun and AT weapons in hands.
A few years ago, in Russian Federation, also, started works at military exoskeleton with ICE.
...
Russian passive infantry exoskeleton (late 1990th or early 2000th), named BSIKPE (Translated, Armoured-power indiviadual complect - passive exoskeleton):

Full weight 53.4 kg, weight of exoskeleton 17 kg. Use old Russian rating of armour, canceled in 2014. Helmet and details of body armour, 5 rate, or, 7.62x54R with LPS bullet (steel core, not AP), from Dragunov SVD, on 5-10 m. Other details of body armour - 6a rate, or, 7.62x54R with B-32 AP bullet (special core). Other elements - 3 rate, or, 5.45x39/7.62x39 with PS bullets (steel core, not AP), from Kalashnikov AK-74/AKM, on 5-10 m. Protection area - to 180 square decimetres, or 19.375 square foots.
...
Other passive exoskeleton, later than BSIKPE:

Adjustible sizes, use under armour, equipment and warm clothing.

You can see, variants of use. I think, the most interesting - with "Scorpion" system:

I would guess they need 1 to 2 more iterations to get more flexibility and speed. Then they need to revise the material handling area to segregate heavy (50-200 lbs) items so the power of the suit is put to real use.

Speaking of small ICE, is there much in this or any of the other topics on very compact microturbines? We're working on a 30kW 2kg motor generator module with inverter but looking for decent turbine partner.
 
I wouldn't regard this as an exoskeleton but they are calling it that. They mention racing but of course everyone must be privately thinking combat.

Consider me sceptical. Lots of techbro hype, cgi and mock-ups. Not much else.

It's probably not quite as egregious as this:
