Infiltration. Communication. Eyes. Laser-marking from elevated else unaccessible positions.

Not direct and immediate combat action and firefighting, of course. You cannot fly AND fire simultanbeosuly. Not yet...?

And then there is James Bond.

A drone can be used for all of that. No possible loss of life with a drone.

Todays fighter jet pilots has this special helmet, where he just has to look at a target end fire a missile.

I think the pilot flying one of these thing, will have some kind of similar helmet.

Aiming with his eyes, using his left fingers or verbal to chose type of weapon and fire.

Meanwhile when the rocket fires off the pilot gets toasted. Just how big a rocket do you think this suit can carry. Again, the drone is the platform of chose IMO.

The development in type of fuel used in rockets and missile is high.

And a missile that is fired from a fighter jet, doesn't ignite before after 3-5 sec. after been released from its peleton.

Never the less, a drone is platform of choice IMO. The Ironman suit here does not appear to be something worth pursuing militarily. The videos shown have the demonstration on a calm day out of the water. How are the suits performing on a windy day out on the water with say pirates that jump tankers and have weapons? Other than delivering a pizza to another ship I see no use for this suit militarily.

On that I may agree-Its military use.

Maybe one day in the future where this suite has improved it may be a choice for the military.

I figure this is just an Alpha version of a full Iron Man suit!
Alpha .0.0.2

Eventually it will reach the Mark 1 stage.
