(WASHINGTON TIMES) The Pentagon is poised to put a real-life “Iron Man” on the battlefield in under two years’ time, and military officials say the state-of-the-art, sensor-embedded suit of armor will give ground troops a significant advantage unmatched this side of the Marvel universe.
Development of the Defense Department’s Tactical Light Operator Suit, or TALOS, is currently on schedule, and a first-generation model is expected to be ready to be worn by August 2018, Pentagon top-brass told reporters this week.
