Soldiers deal with a lot in combat.  Besides dodging bullets soldiers routinely carry packs weighing upwards of 80 pounds on missions.  The U.S. military is working to change all of that.  The answer:  TALOS!

TALOS -- Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit -- is expected to be a game-changer for the soldier on the battlefield.  If you've seen the movies "Iron Man" or "T2: Terminator 2" you might have an idea of what the future holds.  TALOS won't provide flight, but it will create near super soldiers!  The battery powered exoskeleton will provide strength and endurance for load carrying; while using liquid metal to give superior ballistic protection.  The suit will also monitor vitals, and will aid soldiers with their situational awareness through in-helmet technologies.  The program is on track to deliver a first-generation suit by August 2018.
