[quote]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.[/quote]
Increasing strength? No that's mjölnir armour and we have known this for at least a decade since Halo became popular and the armour made a ton of sense with the technology being made and available.

Praise TALOS!

I've been keeping tabs on the program since 2007, it's pretty bad ass! I asked my uncle about it (he works for Lockheed Martin, which is similar to Raytheon) and he said that Lockheed has already developed a system for allowing infantry to hike all day with huge loads.

Better not get the Aldermeri Dominion here...

talos system is old news

Its just announcement. Really everyone is doing it or planning on it. Dedicating to job to someone else mainly means they are just starting on design etc.

[quote]Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit (Talos)[/quote] [quote]Talos[/quote] This is now the best armor ever

I'm deciding whether this is good or bad
-
I have a question. Who comes up with all the cool sounding acronyms in the military?
-
But does it have armor lock?

Edited by Trad: 10/10/2013 4:25:50 PMIn general, this is seriously old information. Why on Earth are news sites still trying to publish this? They must get an absolute ton of views if it is worth running the same story, just slightly redressed over and over. Also, [quote]Talos[/quote] huehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehue. Heimskr must be crying from obscene amounts of joy right now.

By the Nine!

doubt it.

Paully, you sound a little butthurt over this.
-
VERY old news. BTW, if anyone wants to try to participate, check out the Army SBIR/STTR website and submit your ideas. You have a bunch of hoops to jump through (especially with STTR's). We've answered 4 or 5 of them now (not on this project) and once you know how to do it, its tedious, but not hard. We almost got selected on one to go to Phase II.

Our saviour comes, and brings with him glorious firepower!

It's probably getting back into the news because it's almost done. Just like more ads for a car comes out when it's getting ready to ship out for sale.

I love how in the article it mentions the idea of the exoskeleton from Aliens... Bungie also used a lot of things from Aliens
