Iron Man'-style suit in
early stages of development
U.S. Special Operations Command wants its operators to be
protected with what it informally calls an Iron Man suit, named after the
fictional superhero. In September, U.S. Special Operations Command, known as
SOCOM, made a Broad Agency Announcement for proposals for prototypes of the
Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit, or TALOS. The goal of TALOS is to provide
ballistic protection to Special Operations Forces, along with fire-retardant
capability, said Michel Fieldson, TALOS lead, SOCOM."We sometimes refer to it as the Iron Man suit, frankly to attract the attention, imagination and excitement of industry and academia," he said.
