This kind of tech is still, IMHO, a long way from the battlefield.
It could make a huge difference pretty damn soon on the loading dock, warehouse, tarmac, etc. And how much of a military "effort" consists largely of moving heavy shit from place to place? Every bomb, missile, or bullet sent downrange gets thrown onto a truck or some such at least a few times. |

I like that camo pattern. Funny how one whipped up quickly for a prototype works and one that billions was spent on is a turd. |

Power is the problem, not the build material. Yeah, battery size is still way too cumbersome So, put the battery on a wheeled cart, and use the exoskel for prisoner extractions. Prison guards will love them! |

Watching the slow progression of man from biological machine, then to cyborg, and eventually to android is fascinating. So we're going to change into THIS??? |

Advances in battery technology will make some of this happen to some extent - sooner than later I hope  Fuel cells are making great strides, as well, as long as you have a source of liquid hydrogen. And keep it from hitting atmosphere and an ignition source. 
I can see someday having hydrogen tankers like we have JP8 tankers, but that's a way off, yet. |
