A high tech infantry kit has been designed for soldiers based on the Gundam anime series.
Japanese nerds (otaku) are all for it.
he Advanced Personal Armament System - is Japan's version of the Future Soldier.
Network-linked helmets and night and thermal vision are standard features.
Gundam is a hugely popular anime series with "mobile suit" robots.
The "Gundam suit" also has global positioning system (GPS) technology, allowing the wearer's location to be tracked.
There are calls for defense ministers in Japan to have GPS tracking devices installed in their monkey suits so they can be kept from colluding on defense contracts.
Yeah...shouldn't all politicians have a GPS attached?
