Allot of the planned exosuits are semi-powered they allow you to carry more weight buy actually distributing it to the ground through the boots rather than it having to hang on your shoulders and lower back.<p>This is effectively lowering the waist suspension belt which is built into every high weight backpack.
Effective weight distribution is just as important as core strength, a good backpack system with 60kg in it can feel lighter than a crappy duffle bag across your shoulder.<p>The system it self can be recharged using the wearer motion to give the additional speed and strength when needed.<p>Most combat engagements aren&#x27;t long the actually power output of the suit will be concentrated into a few short bursts rather than long active periods (one of the reasons many prototypes us a capacitor bank rather than a battery).<p>A suit designed like some of the supercap hybrids (Mazda 6 for example) isn&#x27;t that far away and while there are quite a few engineering challenges current power density isn&#x27;t a deal breaker.
So there&#x27;s a good chance that the first deployed suits will be very video game like and will have a cooldown, you need to jump over a 10ft wall? no problem.. you need to break a door in? easy.. just need to wait a bit before one stunt to another, that&#x27;s doable, and not a deal breaker at one any level.
