X
president at a press conference this week where he announced the top secret
program the US military and working on
left for them today I am joined by
researchers who invents on the most advanced metals on the planet
designers for modeling
prototypes in the digital cloud folks from the pentagon who helped to support
their work
a basically I'm here to announce that we're building Iron Man
I'm gonna blast off in a second
we're gonna miss messinger product we report on Co
I not really
them
maybe
has class by Co
so there obviously he's joking he was there to talk about something out thanks
have no idea what but they're not actually making Iron Man but amongst the
many extremely expensive up future military technologies we are developing
there is something actually kind of similar to the Iron Man see that you've
seen in the movies
it's called the tallow since the tactical Assault like operator suit 3
leeway to mechanized our infantry
and you're gonna see a little at CGI animation that
what looks like a first year student at a for-profit computer animation college
made but
its good demonstrate the basic idea bow if I made this I would think with those
awesome thing that ever made so
your when I know you can't be in action yeah
well with ak-47 they've clearly in couple to
finally that's not the
artist conception up the Taliban event
I would move out yeah I don't care if you're wearing some serving credit like
electro ballistics to
dodge the bullets yeah that's not something that's not like
Iron Man that is our that is higher hey let me when I remain was in Afghanistan
yeah that was it like it you don't have a became like a 2008
lie any hits you energy had your hand I don't think it I remember we are going
to tell you what me and ill
like it over here like okay we'll have high I have higher standards I guess but
here's some not some %uh but merely look at Los will have
i'd get layers of smart material and sensors Ilham enable lot
it will better enable and protect so soldiers during combat situations
basically the most important part a bit in that not going to be literally metal
plates all over their body there's a couple different ideas on how to work
but it either
some sorta ballistic gel that when force is applied to instantly harden such that
I can block bullets
or at some sort of material that when you play an electric current to become
strong enough
again to block bullets at least small arms like you would find in a
battlefield the Middle East but also it's a it's not just the sioux its gonna
integrated electronics and ways to monitor your health
in fact it might also have a sort of an exo skeleton sorta
like job outer portion kind of similar to what you saw in like the Alien movies
when she gets nothing
%uh though ill have hydraulic arms and legs you know amplify the motions are
the person wearing it boost speed and overall mobility
and they're like super any Weaver had yet he writes nothing like I rancher
so we do not but it doesn't have the ability to send some sort of punctures
and balloons it'll be able to apply some sort of basic medicine to it
it'll provide 360 vision I'd allow you to communicate
inside the hiding your helmet with other soldiers things like that
will lose your ability to use a doorknob yeah I'll be outta here pooper I i
they said that it has smarts has is not very smart to go in take about a hundred
boats before
radio silence by I no I actually think that I'm with Ben I think this preview
imposed Iron Man
and I I'm surprise lead did that we have built yet it seems very doable it's not
like some futuristic thing like oh my god I can't imagine it
we're all on our this already exists already testing in this year with the
idea that they could deploy by 2018 although that the military projections
are expected to be ready by 2012 is exactly like is a.m. on really spoke
only exactly like it actually is robo-cup yeah that's what
yeah an elite not integrated web I don't know exactly how to work with that so
they've been selling
so their video at I'm so it may have iced little in the back their head
because if they have a helmet late 20s or soma
where it's not only at night vision but you could also cap cameras
in the back your helmet so you can see what's coming up behind you and to your
side
for a share video possibly from one soldier to another so he's looking
around the corner every soldier can see what's around there those right thing
and needed mission article but was also in
I would imagine incredibly easy to put a drone or any kind of vehicle up there
be the video into him so he has a bird's eye view the battlefield so and then he
can literally run faster he will be stronger because of the soup
et cetera so it's pretty badass the only downside is that the storm troopers
are so easily killed I'm ready to land him
but whenever let you anyone ever shoot a stormtrooper that's got all that
equipment is the horse
their me like but go on yesterday stormtroopers a quote in their stores
they would have had some ability to stop
some arms by yeah it's time to regale
should not diet bulletproof so it wasn't aware that
Yahoo leasable quietly get laser rupert
so %uh but in the purple her story than just the same america *** yeah look I
pitch the story because I love this futuristic technology stuff especially
when its military technology
but this is not the solution to all of our military problems for small to be
incredibly expensive
in my network uncertain environment they're gonna have some sort of
integrated oxygen and cooling and things like that
just below where rock yeah how exactly would I don't so look we build the biz
which by the way of course the Chinese are working as a night that the russians
organza like this what about a yes
whether indians know that are like out twenty thirty years away
okay and so we build this that'll stop an ak-47 rounds so that leads them to
developing ammunition it won't be able to stop or using IED's or something like
that
they can take out a home be they can take out our soldiers I think that this
just is another step
in a in an arms race basically that now will integrate technology that integrate
this is the winner I think wars will be over
yeah whatever I wanted these guys that are you need
yeah I mean I I hope for overconfidence it's the American Way
yeah what you want to do this it's all gone
