American scientists newly developed "Tail Attack Light Armor (TALOS)", which can give the wearer super power
According to the British Daily Mail, at present, American scientists are developing a new generation of liquid bulletproof combat armor, which will be put into use within the next two years. It is reported that the design of this new type of combat armor is inspired by the high-tech nano armor in the sci-fi movie "Iron Man".
The newly designed "Battle Attack Light Armor (TALOS)" will give the wearer super powers such as: visual ability in the dark; superhuman power and methods of deflecting bullets. Designed to improve the mobility and protection of SEALs and special forces, the combat armor is expected to be tested in 2018.
Matt Allen, a spokesperson for the US Special Operations Command (SOCOM), said: "The ultimate goal of the TALOS project is to prototype a liquid bulletproof combat armor in 2018 that will be used to assess the impact of military operations."
The technology is currently used to develop body suit exoskeletons, power enhancement systems and body-attachment protection devices. The US Special Operations Command says that some protective technologies are used in combat attack light armor development, such as advanced armor technology, command and control computer systems. , electric generators and enhanced mobility exoskeletons.
At the same time, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are working on a new generation of armor - "liquid body armor". The US military official said that when a magnetic field or current is applied, the armor material will be converted from a liquid to a solid within a few milliseconds. In addition, the armor's sensor has a "neural system" that monitors core body temperature, skin temperature, heart rate, body posture and body hydration index.
Professor Gareth McKinley of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has developed "liquid armor" technology for 11 years, focusing on abnormal material flow technology. Currently, he and the research team developed this new liquid armor based on an understanding of the liquid metal's elasticity or solid properties under certain circumstances.
Once developed, the armor can instantly transform the liquid form into a solid under the influence of a magnetic field or current, which can be used to monitor the soldier's heart rate, body hydration index, and core body temperature in the future. The liquid combat armor responds to body data, and the computer system can be connected to the sensor to keep the soldiers on the battlefield. Professor McKinley said that this liquid armor is very similar to the combat armor in the sci-fi movie Iron Man.
