We Have Met the Predator, and He is Us

We Have Met the Predator, and He is Us
Do you remember the armor worn by the Predator in the Arnold Shwarzenegger movie of the same name? It allowed him to blend in with his surroundings, making him nearly invisible. His suit was also a coat of armor and seemed to give him super human speed and agility. It even served as a traveling first aid kit.
Well, it seems that just such a suit of armor is on the horizon for our own elite soldiers. Scientists and engineers at the Massachussetts Institute of Technology have just signed a $50 million contract to develop a Predator uniform for our special forces.
Gee, how much better can they get?
