The Military Jet Pack is a thing of the future, right? Maybe not. Gravity Industries has built and released a working jet suit that will soon be in use by Military and First Responders.
No longer just fantasy, this is the reality the military now embraces. With the introduction of jet suits, the military bolsters its surveillance and rescue operations capabilities. Enter the new game-changer in military modernization.
Flying High with the Military Jet Pack
The military jet pack, a groundbreaking creation by UK-based company Gravity Industries, graces the fleets of the Royal Navy and US Marine Corps. The Indian Armed Forces, too, are preparing to join these ranks. These jet suits do what tanks and helicopters did in the '90s - they revolutionize the battlefield.
The Daedalus Flight Pack: A Peek Inside
Richard Browning, the brains behind the Daedalus Flight Pack, gives a glimpse into the inner workings of these jet suits. Far from the simplistic devices seen in films, these suits demand a nuanced understanding and physical strength.
Mastering the Art of Flight
Browning explained that the jet suit's operation relies heavily on arm strength. The wearer maneuvers the suit by directing the thrust from the engines mounted on their arms. This design offers exceptional control and agility during flight.
Becoming One with the Suit
Mastering the art of flight doesn't come instantly. It involves learning to fly, hover, and maneuver with precision. Once mastered, however, the suit becomes an extension of the wearer. The once daunting task of flight becomes as intuitive as walking, opening up a world of possibilities for surveillance, rescue, and combat operations.
Development and Conceptualization of the Jet Suit
Jet suit training takes half a day, making it a swift process for our soldiers. Yet, we stretch training to several weeks for safe flying. The suits offer new capabilities, requiring new tactics to exploit these to the fullest.
Search and Rescue Missions
Jet suits are not limited to military use. They also have a place in search and rescue missions. They also show promise in the commercial field, particularly in working with drones carrying cameras or fuel.
The Future of Jet Suits
While jet suits may not yet be the next drones in warfare, they're an innovative technology that's changing the game. With Gravity Industries as the sole exporter, the future holds endless possibilities.
