US Army plans ‘Iron Man’ armour

 

Well, it was only a matter of time before the US army would come up with a smart armor similar to an Iron Man suit. They probably already have … I would love to see it in action though!

“The US Army is working to develop “revolutionary” smart armour that would give its troops “superhuman strength”. It is calling on the technology industry, government labs and academia to help build the Iron Man-style suit.

Other exoskeletons that allow soldiers to carry large loads much further have already been tested by the army. The Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit (Talos) would have such a frame but would also have layers of smart materials fitted with sensors. The suit would also need to have wide-area networking and a wearable computer similar to Google Glass, the US Army said.”
