FUTURE SOLDIER of the 50s. How Close Did The Military Get?
the US military put out a future soldier concept in the 50s. how close did they get? a helmet radio?we have gone from limited radios to most soldiers having at least squad level radio access in the field, so. IR night vision goggles are also common. face mask? sure. kinda. microphone for radio? sure. ir metascope just seems to be more night vision? an m14? we've already replaced that rifle two or three times over, so nope. nylon vest and armor? this was before kevlar, so would offer some resistance. but we've gone way past that. explosive foxhole diggers did see limited use around that time, but... nope. and lastly jump belt. a jetpack. I wish.
