Then you're talking about power armor with grav/jump belt capability...

If you have the capability to accurately target 
FROM such a jump, your enemies might have the 
capability to accurately target SUCH a jumping 
target.

You're going to handle being silhouetted from the 
sky how? You're going to have a signature. You're 
not in the weeds, at some point you're going to 
make a VERY nice, crisp target to the mk1 
eyeball. With sufficient processing and good 
optical sensors, you're going to be nice and 
crisp as a target...

It's kind of like choppers in combat. If you're 
up against a similar opponent, you're going to 
have to be VERY careful about how you use the 
tools. Great for approach march, not so great for 
the final run into the target. If they're lower 
tech, you're good. If they're NOT lower tech, 
then you're going to have a SERIOUS problem.

Likely armor PDS AND ADS systems could be adapted 
to handle shooting down the jumping crunchies. I 
wouldn't want to go jumping up on any armor or 
high tech forces.
