Admiral William McRaven said in July at SOCOM headquarters in Tampa, Florida, that he is very committed to making these suits available.
The liquid body armor is being developed at MIT, and what is does is it "transforms from liquid to solid in milliseconds when a magnetic field or electrical current is applied." In other words, it moves when you do with minimal resistance.
In addition to its wartime advantages, the suit will also provide heat, air conditioning, and oxygen, as well as monitor health and aid in the healing of wounded soldiers by spraying foam into open wounds to stop the bleeding.
Lockheed Martin is attempting to get the suit to Afghanistan where it can be tested in actual war conditions within a year. If it works, the Iron Man suit could easily turn the tide of future wars .... http://www.sott.net
