America develops 'Ironman' warrior

The US military is making great progress in developing the outer layer of clothing for a normal soldier to become as strong as "Iron Man" in the fictional film of the same name.

National Interest magazine said the US Special Operations Command (US SOCOM) in collaboration with scientists is making great progress in developing the "Iron Man" warrior . The program is called a lightweight tactical outfit or Talos.

This outer skeleton was developed to equip special units such as the SEAL of the Navy or other units, helping the US task force to move tirelessly, breaking doors easily and bulletproof effectively.

Talos will have a sensor system in contact with the wearer's skin to monitor body temperature, heart rate and biological indicators to maintain life. The shirt frame has electrically controlled joints and moves in the footsteps or movements of the wearer's hands.

The task of the frame is to minimize the impact of gravity on the muscles on the human body which is the main cause of fatigue during the battle. Talos also helps people to wear heavy objects that normally cannot be done.

In addition, it is equipped with durable armor, computer control, communication system, night vision equipment and power source. Talos helps improve the ability to identify threats on the battlefield, enhance combat performance and minimize casualties.

Lieutenant Matt Allen, a spokesman for SOCOM, told US military news magazine Scout Warrior on May 31 that: "The Talos project will produce prototype in 2018 to conduct operational evaluation. dynamic ".

The development department of the project has made steady advances in technology with the advice of William Harry McRaven - former director of SOCOM. In addition, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are developing a type of liquid armor.

This particular type of liquid can be transferred from liquid to solid in just a few milliseconds when the force of sudden impact on it such as a stab knife, or a warhead fired from a personal weapon. New armor has the advantage of light weight and flexibility than Kevlar armor.

"The idea of ​​the Talos program is to help ensure life safety for special forces as they walk through the door into the battle zone , " spokesman Allen said.
