Force Multipliers

[rcaf_777]

so we talked about how many people the project needs to complete the project

well what Force Multipliers what do you see the project having?

UAV?
UUV?
Robots?
UGV?
New Tech?
powered exoskeleton?

One of the biggest multipliers for the Project is knowledge both what's in the team's heads and any media (books, ROMs, etc.) they have to work from.

I think it would be MP/Team knowledge and some newer tech. The MP library should be the most valuable tool there is. But a bit of newer higher tech is also a boost.

I would second the concept of the knowledge the MP has is a good force multiplier. But I think you are using the term in the military science way. In that regard, exoskeletons are a given. The HAAM suit is canon. I think there would also be UAV. They can have multiple roles that include mapping, surveillance, NBC detection and monitoring, ad hoc radio networks, and others. I can make a limited case for UGV, especially for exploring bomb sites. UUVs are of very limited utility. That's my opinion anyway.

The M-61....... Miniguns... Just have to go there..

Agriculture is another UAV role that's often overlooked. Take DJI's AGRAS which can be used for mapping, crop seeding and inspection, and applying fertilizer/insecticides/weed controller.

Meteorology

If the Project can predict the weather, this would be invaluable. And it wouldn't be very difficult to equip teams with sensors.

Weather forecasts can help farmers, fishermen and also assist if MARS are conducting combat operations.

Night Vision

Very few groups will have the technology for operating at night. This should give a major advantage to the Morrow Project
