= Amplified Mobility Platform (AMP) Suit = AMP suits are fictional exoskeletal military devices seen in James Cameron's 2009 film Avatar. The suit was used to clear away debris, jungle foliage, defend the Hell's Gate RDA base, and was used in ground forces at the final battle of Pandora.

Weapons
The AMP suits are equipped with a small, but impressive arsenal. The weapons used by AMP suits consist of shoulder-slung, belt-fed GAU-90 30mm cannons, knives (one per suit), or an optional Bush Boss FD-11 flamethrower.
 * GAU-90 30mm cannon-- The GAU-90 was manufactured by Hirte and Fahl Arms Manufacturing Ltd. The cannon is belt-fed from an ammuntion box mounted to the AMP suit and fires either 30-millimeter high explosive incendiary penetration rounds, or tracer rounds. Weighs 100.7 kilograms and is estimated at 2,194.6 millimeters long. Equipped with an under-the-barrel cutting tool reminiscent of a bayonet.


 * AMP Suit Knife-- The AMP suit knife was manufactured by Hirte and Fahl Arms Manufacturing Ltd. for use with the AMP suit for clearing away dense foliage (on Pandora mostly) that inhibit the suit's movement. Weighs 34 kilograms and is 1,066 millimeters long.


 * Bush Boss FD-11-- This makeshift weapon was not used in the film. The Bush Boss FD-11 is a chemical-thermal incinerator used for clearing away flora manufactured by Bush Boss portable chemflame defoilant devices. Weighs 90.7 kilograms (dry) and is estimated at 1,828.80 millimeters long.

Summary
AMP suits are all terrain vehicles designed to be used by infantry forces. In the 22nd century (the century that the film "Avatar" takes place) the AMP suit is a refined version of 21st century (present century) military exoskeleton technology that was improved for various wars in the decades leading up to its use on Pandora. Sealed versions were used in toxic environments (such as in Pandoran atmosphere, which consists of heavy amounts of hydrogen sulfide, and xenon along with the breathable-by-man oxygen and nitrogen) and pressurized versions with full life support systems were used in the colonizations of Earth's moon and the planet Mars.
