The program for a Japanese Defense Symposium was posted online late last month and the title of one of the exhibits caused quite a stir:

“Towards the Realization of Gundam (Advanced Personal Equipment System).”

No other information about the exhibit was provided.

Much to the dismay of giant robot fans everywhere. Today it was revealed that the Gundam equipment is currently a development program to combine existing technologies, specifically body armor, a computer, and health monitoring equipment.
