TALOS suit

The Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit, or TALOS will be made of liquid armor that can solidify on command. Fitted with the protective gear troops would be more lethal and better protected, particularly the vulnerable first soldier to breach a compound. An amalgam of academics, defense industry types and Pentagon personnel are trying to fine-tune the battery-powered exoskeleton, which would reduce strain on the body, provide superior ballistic protection and in-helmet technologies to boost communications and visibility.
