When Canadian Air Force pilots go into battle in Afghanistan later
this year, they will have a decided edge with the introduction of the
full-body armor system known as C.U.T.I.E. - Combat Uniform Technology
Innovation Equipment. During a press briefing held at the Joint
Combat Forces Equipment Test Establishment in Stubblejump,
Saskatchewan, Vice Admiral Alvin 'Ro Ro' Yerboat, Director General of
Really Neat Fighting Kit, outlined the unique features of C.U.T.I.E.
"The air-conditioned system is fully computerized and features an
advanced heads-up display on the face shield. It also interfaces with
the aircraft's electronic systems allowing the pilot to multi-task
with little effort." When asked about the strength of C.U.T.I.E,,
the Vice Admiral carried on by explaining that it is capable of
deflecting all rounds up to and including 57 mm. In the unfortunate
event that the pilot is forced down while engaging the enemy, he can
count on his trusty Excalibur Mk. 2 sword to behead or hack off other
body parts in one fell swoop. Final tests will be carried out in
March before introducing the system into the Canadian Air Force
inventory.
