As important to the

New

Mod soldier

as

intelligence and com-

munications

will be

the ability

to land

on

his

feet

in the new

helicopter warfare. To

fashion "shoes" for

the foot soldier forced

to

parachute

-land

or

drop

onto

a tree -top

landing mat from a

helicopter, Lockheed

borrowed

from its moon -landing

know -how.

Originally

designed to cushion the lunar

excursion

modules

(LEM) when they land

on the moon,

the DynaSorb

"shoes"

are

fashioned

of

metal tubing

slotted

at

one

end.

Under

stress the

metal curls in upon itself,

much in

the

manner

of

a party

noisemaker.

In

this

way,

the

new shoes

will absorb

energy

impact on landing.

In Lockheed's design, a cylindrical

tube

is notched at

measured

intervals around

its

base. On

impact

a

cone rises within the tube

and

extends

the splits

which have

a

natural

tendency

to coil. A control

ring on

the

out-

side

of the tube

will

govern the

splitting

rate

and

the tightness of the coils

which

bear

the

impact. The

"shoes"

come

in

a

variety

of

hardy

metals that can

withstand

Super-

man

stresses.

Red

the

most amaz-

ing

of all the

new -day

small

-wonder

weap-

onry

is an anti -aircraft

missile

a

soldier can

fire

from his

shoulder,

giving

him for the

first time an

effective

weapon

to

protect him-

self against

low

aircraft.

DynaSorb footwear,

originally

intended to

cushion moon landings, may also come

in

handy

for parachute

jumps

and helicopter

exitings. Design

of device

is such that

it automatically absorbs stress of

impact.

namics has

already tested a 4 -ft., solid -fuel,

infrared -nosed

weapon

weighing only

28

lbs.

Not only will

it fire from the shoulder,

but

the device

also

is designed to

home onto

any low

-flying

craft and

blast it with

a

high -

explosive

warhead.

Tomorrow's soldier

will simply

point the

fiber -glass launcher toward the target.

And

when

the missile

signals

audibly

or visually

that

it's

sighted

the target, the

gunner

will

uncage

the

seeker, let

the

red -nosed

wonder

soar toward

the

heat of

the enemy's engine.

A

two

-stage

job,

the first stage

will

thrust

20 ft. after firing, sufficient distance to

safe-

guard the soldier. The second

stage

will

then

soar on target, with

the

missile's control

taking

in

continuous

target

information and

signalling the

fin wings

just

what

to do to

speed toward enemy

rendezvous.

With

its microelectronic circuits

all

on

tiny

silicon chips, the

amazing

small- wonder

missile

will

form part of the

harness

tomor-

row's soldier

will

carry. Significantly, a pack

including

all the new

weapons systems just

described will weigh no more

than a portable

television

set. But it

will

give tomorrow's

soldier

the most sophisticated

weaponry

man

has

ever

known.
