The engineering graduate and naval architect, who works for Babcock International, told Sky News it would be foolish to discount such advanced ideas as nothing more than pure fantasy."When does science fiction become science fact - the technology in Star Trek from 40 years ago is now embedded in our lives in our phones and watches," she said.
Engineers were given a glimpse of life as a marine before they got to work on their futuristic designsAn exo-skeleton made from lightweight carbon fibre, with a weight-bearing frame that allows marines to carry heavy loads and withstand forces thousands of times greater than its own weight.
"The Royal Marines don't have all the answers and as a constantly evolving organisation, which is always open to new ideas, this seemed like a no-brainer to get some new ideas," he said.
