Even though this could potentially save lives I don't see it working because I can imagine how much weight this will be on the person using it. Let me know what you think about it.

In an attempt by fact to imitate fiction, the US militarys Iron Man armor will take an important step towards reality in June, when multiple prototypes will be revealed and tested.

According to a report by Defense Tech, Navy Admiral William McRaven said three prototypes of the TALOS Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit are currently being put together in the hopes that theyll be ready for testing this summer.


According to Defense Tech, these Iron Man suits are currently being developed by a wide range of organizations: about 56 different corporations, 16 government agencies, 13 universities, and 10 national laboratories.

Hopefully this armor will be put into place. It look really cool and it will probably save so many lives.

Do they not say what the weight will be?

It look very very expensive.

I really doubt this will come to anything, more showing off than anything else. But I may be wrong.

Yeah, that guy must be the strongest man alive, because that suit must way hundreds of pounds and there are no robotics to help him move. So this suit is far from complete.

Save a lot of lives, or just further the ridiculousness that is the US Army.

Go 'Murica.

It looks a little more like a halo suit in the video but it still looks cool

If only I could get it designed to actually look like Iron Man and had the money for it I'd have the best Halloween costume xD

Honestly this is going to fail so hard..

And even if they US seriously wanted to put this in place, they would only get a hand full of these suits, and only let DEVGRU (or mainly known as the Seam Teams (seal team six?)) have them and use them..

They would not mass produce these and send them out to everyday infantry soldiers, they could care less about them..
