Description:
EX-Gear (Extender Gear) is known as a type of powered suit, enables the comprehensive ability magnification of the wearer not only by power assisted flight (space flight)/traveling unit but also with night-vision, telephoto features, communication features, and data retrieval functions. However, this is only one side of EX-Gear. A more special function is that it forms the core of the cockpit system "EX-Gear System" for the F/A-23e is the point. EX-Gear is part of the cockpit mechanism for the F/A-23e, "EX-Gear System", transforms into a G-proof seat in the cockpit and the surrounding equipment (the control stick and foot pedals) serves as the interface that connects the fighter and pilot.
The EX-Gear's driving force is that the exoskeleton has a transformation function to a G-resistant seat for fighter cockpits. In addition, control sticks are built into the forearm exoskeleton in addition to foot pedals built into the leg exoskeleton functioning as the man-machine interface that directly controls the fighter. However, it does not mean that merely a powered exoskeleton function is incorporated with a fighters interface. A pilot's habits are memorized by the self-learning function and it can control with the feeling of "wearing" the fighter like wearing EX-gear by reflecting in the operation program of the fighter.
Although G-proof functions are mentioned as an important function of the EX-Gear System, it differs from the operation system; when the EX-Gear transforms, it is attained by becoming a G-proof seat. The G-resistant seat is intended to automatically adjust so that the burden on the pilot is reduced and these G-proof seats are said to be a feature which harnesses the EX-Gear's drive characteristics and the transformation mechanism. EX-Gear motor-gliding flight unit connected to the back consists of folding-type wing and two chemical rocket engines. Moreover, the high-maneuverability powered suit functions of the EX-Gear is also used as part of the escape systems.

Control of the amplified power, especially for fine work, is difficult and requires specialized training. With the servomotor built-in to the exo-skeleton, a wearer's strength is greatly enhanced. Movement of the wearer is traced, a wearer's hand is stored in the Gear forearm with the 5-finger manipulator where only the hand section is independent.
It has a total of 4 wheels (built-in wheel motor) on both feet, and high-speed movement is possible. Gliding wheels for running are installed in the sole to ensure a artificial wind during jumping, and lift-off when dashing by the amplified strength. During turns, center-of-gravity movement is used during running. Although it often accelerates with a catapult, leg wheels, etc., vertical secession is possible when escaping from a cockpit.


Classification: Powered Suit
Weight: 60 kilogram
Quality: Class-6
Other Feature(s):
Transformation
When connected with a fighter , EX-Gear transforms into a G-proof seat where the control sticks and foot pedals are attached (consoles are arranged in the cockpit). Therefore, the pilot in the cockpit is lightly dressed equipped with only inner-wear and a helmet for the EX-Gear and moves easily compared to a usual pilot suit.
The pilot's head, when the head cover of the EX-Gear moves to the seat's rear, is only equipped with the usual helmet. The head cover's base is the head rest.
The chest, shoulder and renal sections are freed from the main frame of the EX-Gear and serve as a G-proof seat with a flexible range of motion. Parts that restrain the pilot are not seen.
After ejection, the flight unit, which is used for the EX-Gear's independent movement, the central thruster module is arranged at the rear of the seat and the wings are arranged at the seat between the arm rests.
The arms of the EX-Gear unfolds and becomes an armrest. The interface built into the forearm section functions as the control stick and throttle lever.
The leg cavity section cover unfolds and a foot rest forms. In addition, the foot pedal built into the bottom of the cavity section is exposed.

Functions of the EX-Gear System
Combine a F/A-23e with the "EX-Gear System", it is possible to say it is the essential shape of the EX-Gear. The cockpit which adopts the EX-Gear system gains some new functions and the functionality which exceeds the conventional cockpit.

Escape mechanism
EX-Gear with flight function is assumed to be an escape mechanism. Ejection from the airframe is performed by the rocket motor of the EX-Gear support frame. During supersonic flight in atmosphere, the shock wave generating board under the seat is ejected and the pilot is protected. The canopy is separated before the escape. It functions as a space suit and for military use, the survival time is about 3 days or around 1 week is possible in suspended animation mode.

Remote operation outside the airframe
The system which operates the fighter outside the airframe is registered to an EX-Gear beforehand. Although in combat is considered to be difficult, simple operation is possible and performing transformation and movement according to motions of the EX-Gear. Through the support A.I. that simple operation is presumed.

External control connection
It can control a machine equipped with an EX-Gear System by connecting other EX-Gears from the outside. Control, including firearms-use, is possible through the connected EX-Gear without transforming into the seat. When the pilot is incapacitated, it can be used for rescue.

Main Power/Engine
Two or possibly three HR-3UTG Hyper-Eneloop fuel cells
Two M.D.A Industry VSR-02A chemical rockets engines for high-level flight performance.

Performance
Maximum airspeed: about 500 km/h (in atmosphere)
55km/h on level ground with gliding wheels
