In Russia, there are trials fighting exoskeleton

A fighter in a promising exoskeleton will be able to transfer up to 100 kg of payload and fire a machine gun with one hand, reports Interfax-AVN a message from the chief designer of the life support system for combat equipment of TsNIITOCHMASH Oleg Faustov.

The main purpose of the exoskeleton is to increase the physical capabilities of the user. We have already tested samples of the exoskeleton, in which you can conduct a fairly effective shooting from a rifle or machine gun using one hand,

said Faustov.

According to our calculations, a fighter in the "right" combat exoskeleton will be able to move around the battlefield at speeds up to 20 km / h, while carrying on up to 100 kilograms of payload,

added on.

According to the designer, many elements of the exoskeleton can actually be created now, but there is a problem with batteries.

We have a scientific and technical background on them both in Russia and abroad, but so far no “battery” has been created that would meet the requirements,

said Faustov.

He explained that the active exoskeleton, in contrast to the passive, ensures its work at the expense of an autonomous source of energy. An exoskeleton that does not have a power source reduces the weight load of the carried loads on the user.

Earlier, the commander-in-chief of the Land Forces of the Russian Federation, Oleg Salyukov, reported that the exoskeleton could also be integrated into the new set of combat equipment “Warrior 3”.

What progress has come to - unprecedented miracles! I would test with great pleasure!

The armored skaf (aka "active exoskeleton") could have been made in the 60s of the twentieth century.
But just such a little was missing. Portable energy source. Just for nothing. Such a trifle ...

What a dumb thing !!! What terry idiocy .. Priorities should be set, and not engage in nonsense .... People do not fight in the modern war in the 1st echelon .... and even in the 2nd do not fight ...
You have this machine gun with an exoskeleton instead of brains ... You’ve seen enough of the “Starship Troopers” and are developing a dead end direction ... Yes you need, but in the third turn ... Do the first thing - learn how to find the enemy and targets without military and even visual contact, without death people ..- create an LSI ....

[Vato dobro]

Why are you splashing something here? Designers write what kind of garbage they suffer. Explain in detail that you can do without this. In a discussion, call someone "a moron who knows nothing about military affairs." In reality, why is it only 20% of what is being developed at the research institute comes in handy in the army? What kind of waste? After all, everything should turn out right away, and the first time in all directions. The high technology that the army is now equipped with is just like 2 + 2, and you can accurately predict that the army will come in handy in the future. Right?

There are also compact ICEs! At the moment this is the only real way out! And the batteries will not be effective soon

What do you think technology drives in the Arctic? Pour you bullshit, so you have a machine gun in your hands, you can quickly deal with the "Zampotech".

Have you ever seen any diesel engine mixture in a half-cup for models? What a little thing - you can faint!
And a can of alcohol to every soldier!

With an alcohol canister no exoskeleton is needed.

Well, the ICE is clearly not suitable here, it makes noise, smokes, it is still warming suddenly and will bend the valve))

[Mooh]

Whistling gas turbines, and leaving behind clubs of raised dust and haze of hot gases, the soldiers burst through the bushes. So more realistic.

Well, an internal combustion engine is not an internal combustion engine, but the fuel cells would be just that. Something has not been heard anything about them lately. Either abandoned, or just the secret part of the work began ..

Out of date! Graphene capacitors and fuel cells (but not on alcohol !!! )

Well, I’m sure that the time of the batteries in their current form will never come, this is the wrong way, even if it's capacitors ...
Energy does not need to be stored and generated ...

[sharp-lad]

You are inattentive. Fuel cells for continuous energy production, and supercapacitors for stopping peak loads.

Perhaps he did not clearly outline his thought ... but I can understand your position ...
Hooked-outdated
I remain with the opinion: the next 50 years, the internal combustion engine is not a full-fledged replacement

[sharp-lad]

We don’t argue about addictions, but fuel cells have an undeniable advantage - low noise level.

a message from the chief designer of the life support system for combat equipment of TsNIITOCHMASH Oleg Faustov.

Well, at least not Skolkovo, already happy. It remains to create a nuclear reactor with a matchbox and a bandage hive with killer nanobes.
And why BMP and armored personnel carriers? Helicopters? Landing?
I somehow do not really imagine the company of fighters in these skeletons crossing the border with Poland, for example, dragging everything on themselves to their full height.
But the direction is correct, if only the grandmas would not be wasted.

Within 5-7 years, I think and they will come up with a battery for it ... so far this is only a prospect ...

The most option is a miniature gas turbine using liquefied gas + a lithium-ion or lithium-polymer battery. Miniature GTE can be done without problems right in the block with the generator. - The cooling problem is also solvable.

[Mikhail m]

An exoskeleton that does not have a power source reduces the weight load of the carried loads on the user.

It has long been invented, crutches are called. And a bundle on a stick over his shoulder.
The modern option is unloading.

[Mikhail m]

I almost forgot another option.

[MoJloT]

For special operations for 15-20 minutes of assault, it is quite possible to come up with a battery. But what effect can cause a tank on two legs with heavy machine guns in their hands, shooting exactly at 10k.

[MoJloT]

In the video, notice how the exoskeleton would look for Alpha in the artist’s fantasy of course.

[tchoni]

An exoskeleton is good ... but, troublesome ...

[Incvizitor]

firing a machine gun with one hand

What is the meaning? So that with 2 machine guns it was immediately possible? Then from the "cliff" or from the "cord" and the removal of the sight on the helmet shield.

[Spec]

It’s interesting, but the new technique, the one that is just being developed, tested and implemented, will it be designed for the increased dimensions of the fighter, for the changed biomechanics of the person, or will you have to remove the exoskeleton when landing in the BETR, and frantically cling to the carcass when landing? Or will we again think about ergonomics after we have to screw a square bolt into a triangular nut?

[dnestr74]

They also opened up America to me, only everything has long rested on a source of energy, So far, as in Jumble-pro clock with a battery))

[Sadko88]

Apparently this is why they clamped the nuclear battery several years ago. And "Starship Troopers" is the right movie. Well explained the difference between a citizen and not a citizen

Maybe because there was no aluminum? Did not think about it? And why not make all planes out of titanium?

[Darvin dv]

That everyone was obsessed with these exoskeletons? Do you want to break someone to tear off your head? It is much more practical when a robot dog pulls junk and its battery, a fighter sits on another dog and shoots, not tired at all, and after that the field kitchen runs and the bathhouse.

[Clueless]

About the idiocy who writes. Honestly, you have very little mind.
Those. Do you need to start development when a battery of sufficient capacity appears? But isn’t it easier to develop the mechanism itself now, and with the invention of the battery, just insert it and start mass production of the product?
And there’s no doubt that they’ll invent a battery, because the United States is developing such programs so actively, plus all kinds of robots with legs, swarms of drones and others.
As a compact and powerful power source appears, a new era will begin .. which, as it were, did not destroy all of humanity

[Katanikotael]

Why not make one mobile reactor under a thick layer of armor and a retractable rod for wireless energy transfer, feeding a company of iron lumberjacks within a radius of a dozen kilometers?
