The US Defense Department is planning to develop ready-to-use jetpacks for cadres of special forces. However, unlike the French forces, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) calls the device a “portable personal air mobility system”. DARPA recently opened a bid for proposals of the device. Vendors submitting a proposal for the development of the system will get an offer worth $1.5 million from the agency.
