So how close are the military to building an Iron Man suit? What new technology do they have that comes close?

Modern soldiers can take advantage of lower body boosters to make
marching long distances easier. These are inconvenient for battle
however so will need to be removed during a conflict.

The military
is already familiar with Load-reducing exoskeleton components, such as
Lockheed Martin’s ONYX and FORTIS. These will continue to be implemented
in future missions.

These more elaborate suit designs are primarily held back due to issues of power supply.

There is a lot more research and development required before any type of full-body exoskeleton becomes practical.

So
for now a real life Iron Man Armour is not available. Only once a suit
can be powered away from a reliable power supply will it be feasible for
use in combat situations.

And this is why Stan Lee needed to create a power source for Iron Man that defied the laws of physics.

The ‘Iron Man’ suit is becoming more real every day. The
Pentagon and the Special Operations Command is looking at the ideas for
an exoskeleton suit. 

TALOS or the Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit will offer new advantages to the American military operators.
The SOCOM lists the advantages this suit could offer, such as:

• An exoskeleton that can carry 75 pounds without a power supply. A fully powered suit could carry up to 150 pounds.
• Echolocation mapping and Doppler imaging as well as other sensors allowing for better visibility for the wearer.
• Better
  protection in a firefight to the operator’s head. SOCOM suggests that a
  transparent visor would give the face full protection against the enemy
  The suit would allow for more body armour additions as well.
• Better aiming capabilities and a possibility to visualise the projectile flight trajectory
• SOCO
  insists on excellent communications technology as an addition to the
  suit. It should be able to pick up several signatures and signals from
  the battlefield. Enemy position, weapons systems and vehicles as well as
  ISR assets and IEDs.
• The suit should have enough energy to operate silently and non-stop for several hours
• SOCOM
  wants a suit that would monitor the physical and mental well-being of
  the wearer, making it easier to diagnose trauma in battle

TALOS
certainly fits the idea of Iron Man and other sci-fi fighting forces,
there are concerns about the weight and reliability of such suit.
There is a possibility that it would be cumbersome and do more harm than good.

The TALOS armour is made from a material that exists either
in solid or in liquid form which can be changed under an electrical
current. It could offer effective, lightweight protection against
bullets.

”I commit to this idea that the last personnel we lost should be the last we lose in this fight and the future fights to come,” McRaven remarked.

Although Adm. Willian McRaven said in 2013 that there are
plans for the modern military to build a super suit to aid soldiers in
battle, by 2019, people are more sceptical. 

McRaven
was committed to the finished product helping operators in battle. It
was going to improve the survival of soldiers in a firefight.

The prototype
drawings looked glamorous and exciting. For four years there seemed to
be progress with building an Iron Man armour but the final results were
not near what original intentions led us to expect.

The details were confidential, so the general public
didn’t see the efforts. In 2019 SOCOM stated that the finished product
was not quite what was promised.

The
technology seems to be unreachable at this stage and the project is now
retired. Surely, engineers and scientists will take it off the shelf
and dust it at a later date, but for now, it’s still only possible in
movies and comics.

There is interest from the British military to create
suits of armour for assault on enemy vessels. It could create a new
style of combat on land or at sea offering a more effective way of
dealing with pirates at sea.

Gavin Williamson, the
Secretary of Defence spoke about the budget allocated to defence. He
made an announcement in Portsmouth, England while watching a
demonstration by a private technology firm – Gravity.

This company
offered a demonstration of a prototype suit that can propel it’s user
up to 10 000 feet into the air using a jet engine. Jet engines are not
new, but their use this way would be an innovation as never before.

However,
this technology is expensive costing about 340 000 GBP or about 450 000
USD per unit. Williamson was keen on sketching out possible scenarios
where this technology would offer an advantage over the enemy.

He also talked to the test pilot from Gravity to share insights into the suit and the new possibilities it offers.

Iron
Man’s suit and the idea of re-creating it in real life is not new. The
last five years several different variants have been tried but February
marked a first real success.

U.S. Special Operations Command
(SOCOM) is the closest of all as far as technology and manufacturing are
concerned. They had plans to start testing the exoskeleton suit as soon
as possible.

Most people nowadays are familiar with Tony Stark and his
powerful Iron Man suit. But how close are we to building an Iron Man
armour? Are The Military Building An Iron Man Suit?

When
it first appeared in the comics in the 60s people fell in love with the
billionaire genius in a super suit. It didn’t seem like a possible
reality, but technology advancement might prove people wrong.
