T.A.L.O.S. or Tactical Light Assault Operator Suit Coming
The high-tech battle field of the future is not just for the Navy and Air Force. The T.A.L.O.S. or Tactical Light Assault is coming to the Army, DARPA and Department of Defense are working on the TALOS project. The Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit whose acronym is the name of the Greek God “TALOS” is a powered exoskeleton giving the wearer many advantages. Extra strength and stamina, bulletproof plating and mesh, health monitoring, power monitoring and even wound sealing foam are the promises on this early deisgn stage technology.
This video is from the July 2013 TALOS Demonstration (Unclassified) SOCOM. It shows people demoing various components on the system. Forty six companies provided 63 demonstrations for a baseline of relevant technologies that could go into TALOS. These early prototypes may seem large and clunky now but once in production most electronic and consumer devices are shrunk down by a factor of 10 or more in some cases. (When was the last time you saw a Motorola “Brick” phone?)
They might not be flying around and shooting lasers like Ironman, but these kinds of advances could save lives on the battle field and help ensure victory in ground based conflicts.
