The power of the AMP Suit lies with the human operator by magnifying the strength and mobility of the driver. Unlike more exotic designs in which weapons were integrated into limbs, the AMP suit is a multi- purpose machine, able to mimic all the abilities of the infantry soldier.This allows a wide range of functions, including the ability to operate a variety of weapons systems.
Because the pilot's arms and legs are synchronized with the AMP Suit's limbs, the pilot affects pressure and direction cues which trigger the suit's motions, executing the intention of the pilot, calculating terrain factors and momentum to perform precise, balanced movements. Force feedback allows the pilot to feel what the suit does. The suit can also be operated in full darkness by a skilled driver.
The AMP Suit is an agile, powerful all-terrain ground combat unit that can defeat most opponents and cut a swathe through both dense jungles and hardened enemy positions. Pilots are protected within the enclosed cab's "Built-in Breathing System". Using the AMP Suit, the driver has the ability to punch through a wall, lift a half ton cargo crate, or rapidly build prefab units without a construction crew.
The suit's weapons are even more lethal than its raw strength. The hip-fired GAU-90 thirty millimeter machine gun can fire 250 explosive rounds per minute. The gun can be slung using an over the-shoulder rifle-sling to free the hands for other tasks. The other non-standard weapon is a combat knife of self- sharpening diamond-hard ceramic. To match the scale of the suit, the blade is over three feet long and cuts through many metals. It takes about two months to learn how to operate the AMP Suit but a lifetime to master it.
