looks slightly modified from the issue..

For those of you curious, it is
FHM February 2004, Page 24.

I'll go through the 6 bullet points on here (no pun intended)
Weapons
This boom-stick can launch four heat seeking rockets as well as automatic 4.6mm rounds. The targeting system recognizes the enemy's firearms and uniforms to ensure that soldiers can fire only on the bad guys and not civillians
Helmet
Think Terminator The motorcycle-style helmet provides a 3-D display of the soldier's surroundings thanks to infrared and thermal capabilities. It also allows for video transmissions and satellite connection.
Body Armor
The carbon nanotube and ceramic-plate armor can withstand rifle at point-blank range. The SSC is working on chameleon armor technology that adjusts to light conditions to enable a soldier to blend into his surroundings.
Communictions
Built into the helmet, the communcation system provides full contact betwen every soldier and with home base. No need to worry about giving away your position to the enemy -- or CNN-- either: The helmet is soundproof.
Power Source
Today's field batteries are bulky and provide only 48 hours of life in ideal conditions. New, integrated hybrid-fuel cells are lightweight and provide six days of continuous power to all parts of the Future Warrior 2025 system.
Exoskeleton
Hydraulic lifts at the joints mean that soldiers will be able to load a 600-pound missle onto a helicopter without breaking a sweat. Not that the system's body-temperature-controlled cooling unit would permit that.
