@VooDooMedic @Tfmonkey I believe this was already a thing, but perhaps I am thinking of guided bombs instead of artillery. Still 'dumb' guided munitions have been around for some time now.
@Stahesh @FinalDresdonation @VooDooMedic it's a matter of cost. How much would one exoskeleton super soldier cost versus how many equivalent drones could you make for the same price?
Why have a super soldier in a robotic exoskeleton at all rather than just remove the human and make the soldier a whole ass robot?
@Stahesh @FinalDresdonation @VooDooMedic the joints would have sensors whether they're drones or an exoskeleton.
The communications can get around jamming by having more advanced AI controlled "officers" that give the soldier drones verbal orders. It's literally what the CIS in Star Wars did with the Droids.
After the "Droid control ship" was destroyed, they used cheaper on board AI and "Tactical Droids" to lead the cheaper B1s and B2.

With current technology every exoskeleton would need motion capture technology for inputs with something as neuralink it would be much cheaper.
True you can just control it from far away.
But you can just use signal jamming.
There can be cheap ones and more expensive ones.
But different jobs need different tools.
