NUSR OGO145
Series Body Armor


145 Series Body Armor: The 2145 (The series approval year) or 145 series armor was being rushed into production when the NUSR came through the dimensional rift in 86PA. There are 2 helms across all branches of NUSR, Standard and Officers/Communications.

Standard NUSR 145 series armor features:

  • Full enviromewntal/atmospheric, 4 hour air supply, hot swapable with IDA125 oxygen cylinders, can filter/purify air with a NBC removal system -150-900 degree tempiture tolerance, and radiation shielding.
  • Strapdown Inertial Guidance System. Telling direction, speed, and altitue chage. Used by Naval personel as the Coalition Navy uses its gyrostablized one, the Strapdown system does not need the finely machined parts. Ground forces use it on long marches for navigation assistance and in white out condidtions such as blizards and ice fogs. It increases the systems accuracy to once a day recalibrate it by standing stil and reseting it for the system to regain an accurate rest position.
  • Laser range finder, which can be tied into NUSR grenade launchers, mortars, and rocket/missle launchers, range up to 12,000ft line of site.
  • Laser designator, up to 12,000ft line of sight.

  • 'Lock' software when tied in to a RPG, see Glosary entry. It is also used by the Hydrothruster system (See next.)
  • Quad-Hydro Thruster System. 2 thrusters on the back and one on each of the outsides of the Marines legs. the leg thrusters are controled by up/down foot presure for mobility. the 'lock' system stops the Marine from moving but the leg thrusters are a thrust vectoring system, the back thrusters are for thrust. Speed is controled by wrist pressure. The lock system can release the other arm to fire a pistol, but a rifle at 6mph is a little difficult. It can maintain 6mph for 2 hours, each thruster needs its own NUSR long e-clip.
