U.S. Army wants an actual Iron Man suit


The soldier user will get night vision, improved strength and body armor .

The U.S. Army commissioned the creation of a " Operator Tactical Assault Suit " ( TALOS for its acronym in English) , something like an Iron Man suit that would give super abilities to view the person as night vision, improved strength and body armor .

Each suit would have an onboard computer capable of responding to specific situations and provide information to the user, the institution said in a statement. In addition, the suit would have temperature sensors body, skin , heart rate and hydration levels, including adjustment systems such as heating , air and oxygen .

The suit could use " liquid armor " , a system that is under development at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT ) , which has the ability to transform solid minisegundos liquid when an electric current is applied . The idea is that the suit is bulletproof , so that the user can walk between shots without dying.
