OMG its about effing time.

Our dreams of dropping 6 soldiers into a rival country with the mission of complete domination are one step closer today.

A few years ago the military was looking for research institutions to bid on the cost/timeframe of a few key technologies they wanted, like invisiblity cloaks, paperthin bulletproof fabric, exskeletons, and other fun toys. The requirement was that the research provide a working prototype in 10 years. My school lost out on the bids, but other schools won some of the contracts, so look for more of this good stuff in the coming decade.
