The frantic race for hypervelocity weapons led to the emergence of the defensive shield, and then to the hyperfortress, which is its ultimate avatar. War will be changed forever...
The race for speed leads to a drastic shortening of decision making time. What is the limit, and is the coming war the realm of the machines ?
Does the hypervelocity of missiles challenge the current balance of power between belligerents? Is it a force for good or evil?
What changes in weaponry led to the emergence of the defensive shield, and then to the hyperfortress which is its ultimate avatar? What will the future war look like?
The hyperfortress is an integrated tactical-operational system capable of detecting and intercepting any threat, hypervelocitized or conventional, within 100 km.
What profile will the soldier of the future have in the face of ever-shifting challenges, what will be the profile of the future soldier? To what extent will their equipment, his environment and his missions change?
The hyperfortress infantryman, a key element of the defensive shield
Integrated haptic controls for taking control of any nearby drone, during a mission and for a given time.
The visor displays in augmented reality the interface of external (collaborative combat) and internal (health control, proximity sensor analysis, night vision) coms.
In addition to the role of reinforced protection, the helmet is equipped with proximity sensors.
The suit incorporates an inner layer of physiological monitoring and heat removal, a self-hardening defensive mesh embedded in the fabric fibers in addition to the breastplate for direct fire protection, and an outer layer of active camouflage cells.
The coms system includes its own embedded proxy (firewall, encryption...), hi-tech and low-tech redundancies.
A harness allows for specific setting to be adjusted according to the mission: sensors, ammunition and grenades, batteries... It is an attachment point for a possible exoskeleton.
External sensors make the infantryman a multi-frequency mobile observation drone. Data is available through its visor, and transmitted to the tactical cloud.
Ergonomic assault rifle, configurable in situ according to the mission. Connected by optical cable to the helmet visor.
In the near future, communities have structured themselves into "safe spheres". Will the French army be able to navigate this balkanized reality to rescue its citizens?
