TALOS - U.S. military is on its way to getting its Iron Man

 

The military's suit will be made of liquid armor that can solidify on command.

 

Fitted with the protective gear -- the Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit, or TALOS -- troops would be more lethal and better protected, particularly the vulnerable first soldier to breach a compound.

 

An amalgam of academics, defense industry types and Pentagon personnel are trying to fine-tune the battery-powered exoskeleton, which would reduce strain on the body, provide superior ballistic protection and in-helmet technologies to boost communications and visibility.

Sounds more like Master Chief's MJOLNIR armour from the Halo series.

We now have a Personal Announcements subforum.

Sounds like it.

The suit contains a gel-filled layer underneath a thick black armored bodysuit. The gel layer regulates temperature and can re-actively change its density.

To all the denizens of the DFJ, especially my S5G Brothers

Totally worth it.

Thought that was cool. Numbers.

Other people are talking about this guy too.

Well, mess. I can't listen to it now.

Damn you, Ditch.

That's ok...I don't think anyone around here is going to get these anyway.

Actually, I take that back...Jeffro, PDXcomics and a couple others will probably get some of these.
