The U.S. military wants to create protective shield soldiers can automatically activate upon detection of dangerous

Agency of advanced defense projects (DARPA) of the U.S. Department of Defense recently announced a research project to develop a compact, cylindrical and can automatically inflates immediately make sure the wall protect soldiers surrounded. In other words, even when detecting dangerous pathogens, the device will be triggered automatically without human control. This is a very unique idea that can help support and significantly reduce injuries to soldiers in the wars of the future.

Said on unique project named "Block Access to Deny Entry" (roughly translated "impregnable structure") is short for "Blockade". This is a fascinating project in pride of DARPA promises to create super equipment for future wars. According to the original idea of ​​the research devices will have cylindrical shape diameter of 0.3 meters, 2 meters long, weighing not more than 136 kg overall and inside contains all the materials are compacted to .

When activated, the device will form a barrier strong enough and cover a specific area in order to stop or even prevent dangerous pathogens soldiers. At the same time, the device has the ability to create a magnetic field strong enough to slow or dispersing agents damage as bullets, fragments from hand grenades and knives, saws, hammers, ... Even The researchers said the devices could help reduce the damage of ballistic missiles.

Besides, the surface of the barrier are made of self-healing materials in order to improve the sustainability and can be reused many times. After the danger passed, soldiers can control the equipment automatically shrink back to its original shape in quick time.

Until now, above technologies appear on movies or video games however, DARPA has shown the world that with the development of science and technology at present, it is possible to return a reality. In addition, the researchers also said external military service equipment can also be used for other purposes as against natural disasters or used as one room for people in emergency situations .

According Theverge, iO9, DARPA
