US Army plans 'Iron Man' armour for soldiers

[InSanity]

The army wants soldiers of the future to be better equipped

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.

Pray to the heaven make this not possible... PLEASE... Don't let it happen, the suit should work the same as the suit from "After Earth", it changes as it should, not cuz u want to make it look like a graffiti master piece lol.

It's really not the iron man suit your expecting, at the moment it's this

It also won't fly in which case it will have to be small and lightweight for agility, so basically the above skeleton.

The final machine would most likely be Human amplification based and will end up looking like that robot from Avatar. In which case it will be more of an exo-skeleton and less of a suit since the final product won't run on an arc reactor and will need the space. This weeks popular mechanics has a good article on human amplification and the possible future.

This is epic, I'd love to go check that Popular Mechanics article out. I love it how people improve warfare, one day would have Boxer or Startale Life just sitting in the Pentagon playing what seems to be sc on a massive screen! And then the Koreans will win hahahaa. But all jokes aside, this is really cool!
