Pentagon Tries Jetpacks for Air Mobility: DARPA Testing New Military Technologies
The U.S. Defense Department is taking their security up-to-date. This possibly means strapping jetpacks to their special forces, with this technology being called the Portable Personal Air Mobility System.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) offers up to $1.5 million in development costs for research proposals involving air mobility systems. A total of $225,000 will be used in the study phase of this program. If the proposals pass this phase, they will undergo ground and flight tests to check field performance. The agency invites any innovative research concepts on the technical domain of improving aerial operations.
