The problem comes with not just stopping the bullet, but dispersing the energy that comes with something as massive as a .50 BMG. Even if we catch that round, best case scenario, the bullet still breaks your rib cage and turns your internal organs to essentially mush. Not to mention you’ll get knocked off your feet and get the wind knocked out of you. Effectively taking you out of the fight in just the same way as if it had killed you. That’s why we would need something more like black panther’s armor, instead of iron man’s, as cool as flight would be.

@@jeaton1224 sounds like something that can be done. You need a layered system. Titanium outer plate for absorbing the brunt of the hit and large enough to spread it across a larger area, a compression pad or shock absorbing material which can compress to absorb the energy across the entire area of the plate placed between the titanium and infused Kevlar, and then you have the Kevlar itself which can absorb some. It might not be comfortable but it wouldn’t be debilitating.

@@mariastevens6406 I highly doubt that a single 50 cal round can take down an airliner. WW2 American fighter planes used 6 or more 50 cal machine guns to shoot down planes, and it usually required a few hits to take down something that was much smaller and with much less redundancy built in. In fact, the 50 cal was deemed to be on the low end of what was considered effective which is why planes started mounting 20 mm cannons. And that is why modern jet fighters use rotary cannons in the 20-30mm range with rates of fire measured in the thousands of rounds per minute.

It's worth noting that whilst the hard armour plating may stop a bullet, the energy of the projectile still needs to be effectively disseminated and absorbed by the armour to prevent transfer to the wearer which would kill them. You could have several inches of titanium to stop a .50 but the energies transfered to the wearer would still cause serious if not immediately fatal injuries. You need to find a way to absorb the energy and disperse it safely away from the wearer.

@connerforbis1466
Жыл бұрын
@@UNSCPILOT Halo's depiction of the VISR definitely predates the I2 Fusion technology present in the ENVG-B, though it might be a stretch to say that Halo inspired the technology. Instead, it's actually just a really intuitive way to add objective relevant information to your field of view. With our real world tech, the I2 Fusion is simply a thermal outline derived from predefined temperature differentials overlayed on top of a standard White Phosphorus Image Intensifier display. This adds to the situational awareness of the soldier and allows them to rapidly identify objects in their environment likely to warrant attention. Something I'm surprised 00 didn't mention alongside the Hololens he uses for Project Mjolnir, is the US Army's own use of the Hololens and other AR assets. I'm not as familiar with the IVAS, the Army's application of the Hololens, but with the ENVG-Bs we also had AR Capability. By pairing a smartphone with ATAK (Android Tactical Assault Kit) with the NVGs, we were able to overlay friendly forces information and navigational data. It looked a little less like Halo and a bit more like Battlefield if you're familiar with that. In addition, the kits came with special night time optics that could pair directly to the ENVG-Bs and give a readout directly into our line of sight. So whereas 00 mentioned attaching a camera, we could use our optics both normally like a standard scope, or indirectly with video feed into our NVGs! All this situational awareness technology that exists in an ODSTs helmet not only already exists, I've seen it first hand.

The thermal overlay and AR elements were only visible in the right tube, so if at any point it was distracting or confusing because of the environment, you could just close your right eye and see raw Infrared. In addition to the outline, the Fusion could be a black hot or white hot, like more conventional systems. (it's CALLED black and white, but it's actually just light and dark orange) Nah, the weight wasn't too bad. After a certain point the weight doesn't really register on your neck. I found it to be more bearable at times than the PVS-14s because the weight of the batteries was in the battery pack on the back of the helmet instead of up front with the tube.

The question is not "can" we make them, the question is when? We can make them for sure, but the question will always go back to money. How important is the armor, do we really need it right now, is it more important than the other stuff we have, etc. If the army doesn't deem it as important, it will only get shelved let alone get proper funding. It only took us less than a century to start from wooden mock up planes to get them to fly, to super advanced supersonic aircraft, to being able to fly to the moon. Imagine what we could do if they focused on this kind of project with proper funding. DARPA, if I remember, did make something like a heads up display for infantry back in the day.

With the ammo counter, I know that the sensors and displays have been invented as I've seen a video of someone's modified Glock pistol that had the same ammo tracking capabilities as an M41 pulse rifle from Alien, including the ability to tell if there was a chambered round or not. An alternative for the radio tracking system on the magazine's follower could also be the addition of an electric potentiometer, where there's a strip of electro-conductive material that will vary on how much current is carried by it and a contact on the follower. This is basically the same technology in an analog radio's volume and frequency controls and could feed the information gathered into a computer that could calculate the rounds remaining based on that information. For transmitting this information into the soldier's armor, the gloves of the armor could be lined with electro-conductive plates that match up to the handle scales of the weapon in their hands, like when the plug for a pair of wired headphones is plugged into the appropriate socket, especially when the helmet will probably interface with a similar technology in the collar of the torso armor.

Electronic parts and 90% of visor are availible for production right now (including the NV function and "friend or foe" marking: it just need some serious neuro-nets working). Electronic polarisation of visor's exterior is to be questioned, though. As for armor plates: it all goes down to actual milirary requests - right now kevlar-based vests are required due to "all ballistic" need of hasard protection, while the ODST's armor plates and BDU are better at withstanding heat-based covenant plasma weapons (and increased heat inside the drop pod if it's forced to pass the dence layers of earth-like planet's atmosphere: basically ODST's are, usually, dropped from low-orbit (just like in Halo 3: ODST - so that the spaceship's hull would take most of planet-entry heat, instead of drop-pods). But it is still possible to be engineered and mass-produced. Low-level xosceletons, added to armor's main frame could strongly improve operator's efficiency: exo would take armor's, ammunition's and weapon's weight, allowing the operator to move like he/she' running naked. So, once again - it IS possible to produce ODST armor nowadays: lt's a question of efficiency and utility, rather than industrial and scientific capabilities. +It's not a question of funding: ODST's are Elite of non-transhuman UNSC forces (compared to US Delta Force or Russian Alpha group Spetsnaz) - you Don't save your money on their equpment: every one of those Elite troopers worth much more, than their equpment.

Heres the thing about armors in that uh… era. Humanity is generally united… for the most part. So the armor system would need to focus more on chemical, high energy, and hybrid (plasma) weapons, lesser so on physical. Yes, theres still some kinetic munitions like the Needle weapons. But they travel at a low velocity and are considered light projectiles. In this case, soft armor suits to protect from light splash of hybrid, chemical, and slow burn from high energy weapons would be a great asset. Kind of like a Spall liner. The main body armor that uses titanium is best used as the stopping wall of main projectile. Good. Not much is needed, but best to armor everything it can, because its not the main point of the armor. Military grade ceramics is the core of the armor system here. US military grade ceramic body armor plates have a melting point of 2000*C, it should be much higher in the year 2400. But titanium has a melting point about 1700*C. An inline gel you mentioned could be highly heat resistant as well. But itd be best if they were molded in as Trauma pads for impact protection from melee attacks, explosions, ect

Realistic ODST armor would have to be 1/4 of an inch thick and would only need to stop armor piercing 30.06 and deflect all lower caliber rounds in order for it to be practical and worth the money to manufacture. Since we are not dropping individuals from orbit, then the paint/coating in the armor system wouldn't need to be a hear shield. It would instead need to be a thermal reducing paint (something similar to what Intermat Defense makes for vehicles) and the body suit would need to have a Cordura 1000 or 500 fabric to reduce the IR signature of the wearer. There would also need to be a small exoskeleton to redistribute the weight of the armor in order to retain mobility. Running with an additional 60 lbs. of armor and gear with another 40-120 lbs. backpack really slows you down. That is a current Green Beret loadout in terms of weight btw. DARPA already has a protype exo suit that looks very similar to the one seen in the Tom Cruise movie Edge of Tomorrow. They are also working with the U.S. Army to make a new combat suit that uses a much smaller version that not only doesn't require any electricity to operate(just physical movement), but also redistributes the weight allowing for faster running. The only real problem with making an ODST armor system is the cost. It would require tens of millions of dollars worth of research alone just to get a protype(without any of the fancy integrated electronics) and it would cost a few million dollars each just to produce. Until there is a cheaper way to refine and forge titanium and its alloys and composites, it is not going to happen for a long time.

While i think we can almost faithfully recreate it, the question is how effective it might be. With any ballistic hit on a hard surface, there's spalling; The bullet shattering on impact and the fragments going places you don't want. In any case you'd be looking at a soft aramid outer layer to catch fragmentation, which will inherently add some bulk to the armor. A second problem i'm seeing is the weight. Modern soldiers already carry 100+ pounds of gear, LMG squads being between 150 to 200 (though the latter is a more extreme case). I don't see an armor like this being adopted widely any time soon, even if we were to recreate it faithfully and modify its weaknesses. It's too complex, there's too many moving and individual parts to it... And the weight, while on it's own manageable, would be compounded with standard operation gear to be over 150 pounds. I can see this being useful in scalpel scenario's, high value target extraction... High level special operations units. And even then, mobility would be a major drawback, even with all the added protection. Probably to the point of being a death sentence. There are definitely some features individually worth looking at though. Temperature regulation being a REALLY big one; Going commando in desert heat wouldn't have to be a requirement anymore, and some active heating in colder climates might not be a bad idea. The other is the composite silica polymer armor weave as a full body penetration resisting suit, with the before-mentioned temperature regulation worked in. That, and lighter composite metal/ceramic armor plating is always a welcome sign. I think those three combined with the new NVG's, aimbot scopes, and a handful of other toys could aid special climate tactical operations. In the end, i really only see this type of armor being deployed as a highly specialized tactical operations addition, for very specific scenario's only. Widespread adoption would be too costly, cumbersome and error-prone. Bear in mind we're talking about the same people that forced PT belts on everyone because one time someone got run over; The equivalent of "someone shat their pants so now everyone needs to wear a diaper.". But again, there's definitely some technologies worth looking at here.

That does exist but would be top shelf custom vr display equal to natural eye which I don’t think exists yet but is possible. Also the cameras and sensors are still way to big for that. Russian titanium 1/4” thick armor I think can stop 30-06 AP rounds which is impressive and could be used on a helmet, composite might be lighter but they deform badly on modern helmets, all the halo helmets I pictured as you probably can’t look through them, would be a pretty heavy helmet but might be able to have to it and the suit in general have power assistants like an bionic xo suit.

6:36 Dunno which is better for you, but there are quite a few youtube tutorials on how to make shock-absorbing non-newtonian fluids. Some simply uses washing glue, water and borax to thickening it. The name of the video is "Making and testing polymer gel (slime)." Polyurethane is also a great shock absorber (and fire resistant) material, it has a lot of different types and uses, this kind of polymer is even used on the space industry to protect sensible equipment. I mean, maybe it is cheaper/easier to make in your case, and besides, I don't think you would like to be in the other side of that titanium block without some kind of padding/shock absorbing material.

I had a solution for a built-in ammo counter for a weapon, basically just add onto the bolt carrier mechanism and have it hit a button on the inside when it slams forward chambering a new round, of course said weapon would use a bolt catch because we're in the modern era and not savages, and it'd be simply programmed to return to the max number set once the button is hit after it reaches zero, a simple loop, with simple buttons hidden behind a panel that can be simple slid out of the way for manually programming the amount of rounds you have per mag so you have a reliable and accurate count displayed. You could easily have an added component for it to wirelessly sync with a helmet HUD. And because the programming and actual functionality is ridiculously simple it wouldn't add any bulk or weight to the weapon with the computer components necessary, the bulkiest bit would be the battery pack honestly. Edit: I'd also like to mention, you forgot the part about the visr being able to distinguish friend and foe, this is also simple enough by having IFF chips in the helmets, which would send the signal to the visr system that "hey I'm friendly!" And by default be programmed to mark anyone not with in IFF as hostile, yes that can cause problems if you're around civilians but a human brain and ability to think rationally makes up for that. Another concern one might have is if these ODST'S are around other friendly soldiers from different branches, the simple solution would be for all branches to have IFF chips, whether imbedded into a helmet or the dog tags. Another concern is if an enemy kills a guy and puts on his suit and helmet, this can be countered with having to recite your serial number, rank, name, and a pass phrase, like we see with the Halo Legends episode Prototype, or as we see Chief kind of do when he's- *SPOILER* preparing to delete The Weapon in Halo Infinite's campaign. And basically set it up to disable the IFF and other functions of the helmet if incorrect information is given, or even to prevent any chance of tampering, have it self destruct the systems, fry the components and wipe the software.

I think the EVA systems are the inhibiting factors for creating a real life ODST system. A high altitude drop could be survived by the appropriate tech within the drop pod, leaving the ballistic and heat protection as the only real concerns if we wanted to create ODST’s as soon as possible, along with the necessary VISR tech within the helmet. We still need to progress a ways with space suits before incorporating them into combat uniforms, as someone who used to wear them lol

Currently the closest practical application of ODST would be the "RATNIK #2" Warrior system issued to Russian Federation Troops in Ukraine. Equipped with a passive inertia "exoskeleton" to improve load carrying, weapon stabilisation and endurance. The uniform incorporates fire protection, environmental control (they are heated) and connection of sub systems. The armour incorporates metal/resin skin layer offering good protection. Where RATNIK excels, troops have access to battlefield awareness via heads-up and arm mounted interfaces, that allows a trooper to upload target info or issue direct fire orders to land/air assets.

The primary issue with armour is it's weight, there are VERY experienced SOF community people who talk about armour, pros and cons often, there are some people who just don't wear it because the weight to protection ratio was not worth it for their job set, and there are people who DO wear the armour because it fits their job set, but the best way to employ that armour is to have a better shooting stance, which has nothing to do with the armour itself, a big issue they found early in GWOT is that the shooting stance they were taught had them with their chest almost pointed down, leaving a direct path to their chest from the top of the armour, sight risers help with this a lot, gives a more stable shooting platform and more chest protection. Very sadly I don't think we would ever employ something as cool as ODST armour because it's just impractical for real world application, HOWEVER, the helmet might be the best piece of tech we could develop next, as long as weight is paid attention to, I think that's the most adaptable piece of ODST tech we could use for real world application

I remember a sitting at a conversation years ago with a Bradley gunner where he mentioned the main reason fully enclosed helmets for infantry weren't a thing yet was because shock waves from artillery or something would turn the brain to jelly. No idea how accurate that ever was, and I'm going to guess if it was a problem, it's near solved if not solved by now.

I wonder if maybe talking with the Grizzly Suit guy would get you some of his armor material. I seriously want to get a suit of ODST at the very least. I wonder if maybe an exoskeleton like the military was working on would allow for more mobility and such, like, a cut down version that works on kinetics rather than powered structures, built right into the 'skinsuit' so the armor could be thicker/more durable overall? Quite interesting, especially paired with that silica-impregnated material for ballistics armor, that'd be amazing. Speaking from experience wearing body armor for a living, the soft body armor concept is great, but man, does it get -hot- and for a guy my size, my BRV weighed almost 50lbs. And that was rated up to 12 gauge. Imagine something thinner like a t-shirt with titanium thread woven in with Kevlar and the silica impregnated material combined...that stuff would be a god-send!

I think the most logical way to produce a armor system like this would be to have soft Kevlar inserts built into the BDUs themselves at key points and then steel or titanium backed polyethylene plates. It would be almost comically expensive but I dont see any other way to keep it light enough to patrol in without giving too much in regards to protection.

A secondary or maybe tertiary advantage of the mechanical pressure case is it would also function better in positive pressure environments as well allowing euro DSC's to operate on planets with heavier atmospheres or even underwater to a Degree period of course if the local pressures get higher so it's buoyancy and you run into the other issues there but it would at least allow the body to function normally in those environments. In relation to the titanium plating balancing between weight and versatility I imagine there's a lot that can be pulled off of late era mid year mid evil plate armors and Renaissance plate armors that used shaping to shaping to encourage the collection as well as gradient thickness or density offering the highest resistance we're necessary and balancing the weight we're less likely to be critical to the operator's life.
