NATO has released its first international strategy on biotechnology and human enhancement. What do you think we'll see in the next decade? Better exoskellies? PEDs? Biosensor-augmented IVAS type beats?

>HATO supersoldiers will be real
Human Enhancement Technologies are biotechnological and non- biotechnological interventions that enable individuals to operate beyond normal human limits or abilities. Opportunities to leverage human enhancement technologies for our defence and security include improving:
Military medicine and rehabilitation of military personnel, leveraging advancements in prosthetics, devices and treatments;
Mobility of our operators, especially by using exoskeletons to assist with physically demanding or dangerous tasks; and
Cognitive awareness, especially in complex operational environments where human-machine interfaces and fatigue countermeasures can enhance decision-making beyond baseline human capabilities.
Steroids?
>fatigue countermeasures
we are so back
If only great-grandpa were alive to see this. Alas, he died fighting Russians in Ukraine. A true trendsetter.
Aviators and SOF in most countries already get some type of medication during intense periods of fatigue, such as modafinil or dextroamphetamine.
Isn't current policy to deny that this still happens?
It happens in wartime, pretty openly.
It isn't currently wartime for most.
Enhanced wieners that allow you to deeply penetrate and fertilise Russian wombs without experiencing their personality.
>raping any russian
I wouldnt live that dangerously, its how you get aids outside of botswana
Hence the enhanced penises that protect you from that. I just prioritised the protection from personality because that's still the most dangerous part.
Balls of steel prevent AIDS infection, also has double the pee capacity of meat balls
That's a war crime anon.
Yeah, sure, have fun with Svetlana the serial gold digger. I’m saving Yuri the fair Moscovite from the vatnik hordes.
No i dont wanna be a nato drone nooo
>The mulatto NATO Bio-warriors are real and willcrush Russia just like they said.

>I can now get a NATO grant while being a biochem gay
Thanks nato, or should I thanks russia for making NATO grants more funded than ever ?
Dubs decide on what my grant project will be
what's your research area
Something to strengthen tendons. Those are a real nightmare to heal.
Combat catgirls
Old men, running the world
a new age
Where do I sign up to be a HATO super soldier? How much red team bussy can I expect during a typical deployment?
David Lynch's transcendental meditation movement was funded by NATO.
I suspect the next level of warfare is upon us...
i want to be a super cyborg, come on coach let me in im ready!
wump
enhanced empathy modules and an inability to say bad things to minorities to women
*or women
Except that NATO contains the Balkans.
So instead of your nonsense the super soldiers are going to receive neural capacitors that allow them to understand Hegel.
So we'll have NATO built Catgirls in our lifetime?
My body is ready.
Only if me and like three other guys convince them to fund it. It's achievable, to a first approximation. A buddy has written a decently thorough paper on it.
>nothing too outrageous
now that we've gotten that out of the way, lets larp to freak out the schizos
>artillery-borne synthetic virion
>the D.I.V.O.C. protocol
>cord-banking super serum
>IGF-3
>clones of peak scarjo from limitless or whatever it was called, but her enhancements unlock 90% of her sex brain
nothing too outrageous
I'll provide translations
>Detecting, identifying and monitoring chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) threats using AI-enabled bio-sensors;
better/easier to use detection kits for chemicals and mediacal diagnostics
"AI-enabled bio-sensors" is a load of buzzwords. A pregnancy or covid test is a bio-sensor.
>Decreasing strategic dependencies on strategic competitors and potential adversaries by using synthetic biology and bio-manufacturing; and
subsidies to Merck/Bayer/Sanofi so they return antibiotic production home after they outsourced it to China
>Leveraging unique properties of BHE-enabled materials for military platforms and infrastructure, including those that are stronger, lighter, self-healing, less toxic, more efficient, and/or faster to manufacture than current alternatives.
better band-aids
>Military medicine and rehabilitation of military personnel, leveraging advancements in prosthetics, devices and treatments;
better prosthetic limbs for guys who had them blown off
>Mobility of our operators, especially by using exoskeletons to assist with physically demanding or dangerous tasks; and
this one is pretty clear- exoskellingtons
>Cognitive awareness, especially in complex operational environments where human-machine interfaces and fatigue countermeasures can enhance decision-making beyond baseline human capabilities.
"we will give money to Elon Musk and try what we can do with that Neuralink thing"
>AI-enabled bio-sensors
The AI can read and declare the results, and prescribe appropriate responses. Not a buzzword.
>Better band-aids
That's fricking huge.
>Cognitive awareness...
No Musk-ovite need apply. I think NATO are a little shocked at how well Delta integrated herself into their systems, and then integrated various Ukrainian actors into *that*. That Ukrainians have an AI responsive enough to provide relevant data on logistical supply to a Ukrainian battlefield before officers even search it let alone before foreign powers are even aware of their capacity to assist is nothing short of remarkable.
>Delta
You're talking about the BMS?
>What do you think we'll see in the next decade?
Shit ton of wasted money for nothing
>guns of the patriots
You realise that against a regime so evil that it is willing to play around with God's creation there's no option but extermination? With this paper, the West has given President Putin complete carte blanche to initiate Total HATOid Death.
You are cheering on your own imminent destruction.
>born too late to be a bioenhanced HATO supersoldier
>too late
Pronouns-based camo, advanced combat tactics adjusted for gender and transgender equality, medkits enhanced for transperson needs, exoskeletons and supersized armor for plus-plus-plus-sized soldiers, AI-enhanced advanced communication systems to report misgendering, deadnaming and unacceptable slurs.
this is one of those areas where China might actually get an edge, because they would have no qualms about experimenting on people. Any sort of genetic engineering is a huge moral clusterfrick in the west
I have gamed it out a bit, among the handful of other biotech people I know who are willing to discuss the topic* with no filter. People come away with different conclusions, but we're all in solid agreement that china's biotech r&d gap is currently so large that it will require a long and obvious build-up for them to establish an offensive program of any real potential.
We benefit tremendously from the ludicrously low quality of chinese academia.
*Red-team bioengineering is such a no-go topic. It's hard to get professionals in relevant research areas to open up to the cold blooded wargaming mindset. People cling to their biodefense-above-all norms for fear of themselves being labeled dangerous.
