TALOS (uniform)
TALOS (Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit) is the name given to a robotic exoskeleton that United States Special Operations Command intends to design with the help of universities, laboratories, and the technology industry. The brief for TALOS states that it must be bulletproof, weaponized, have the ability to monitor vitals and give the wearer superhuman strength and perception.〔http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/film-news/10955747/Iron-Man-suit-for-US-military-thanks-to-Hollywood-costumers.html〕 The suit would comprise layers of smart material and sensors. The suit may not be intended for an entire squad, but for a lead operator who will breach a door first, to protect them as they are the most vulnerable team operator in that situation.〔(SOCOM’s ‘Iron Man’ Suit Faces Major Technological Hurdles ) - Nationaldefensemagazine.org, 28 January 2015〕
==History==
TALOS was first presented by Admiral Bill McRaven, then-commanding officer of the United States Special Operations Command at a conference on May 2013. He said that the protective suit was inspired by one of his troops in Afghanistan.〔
United States Special Operations Command expects ”1st gen capability” inside a year. Though realistically, it might be longer than that. Three unpowered prototype suits were to be assembled and delivered in June 2014. Development of the suit is a collaborative effort between 56 corporations, 16 government agencies, 13 universities, and 10 national laboratories. They are working together to incorporate features including a powered exoskeleton, full-body armor, and situational-awareness displays. SOCOM plans to hold a "monster garage" event to encourage mechanics and craftsmen to create components for the suit. They may seek permission from the Pentagon to distribute prize money to generate interest. Admiral McRaven expects a system to be fielded by August 2018.〔(Admiral: ‘Iron Man’ Prototypes Coming in June ) - Defensetech.org, 11 February 2014〕
Special Operations Command per Lieutenant Commander Li Cohen have started and completed the selection process using prototypes that competed for the contract. Admiral William McRaven, who leads the Special Operations Command, says in the video, “I am very committed to this because I’d like that last operator that we lost to be the last one that we ever lose, in this fight or in the fight of the future.” According to a video produced by the command, the program is on track to have a “first-generation capability” by summer 2014.〔11〕
