SOCOM confirms TALOS ExoSkeleton

Post by Quickfire »

Yesterday Admiral McRaven confirmed in the public domain what all the RFIs and such had suggested was well underway: by 2018 SOCOM operators will have an operational Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit (TALOS) as an exoskeleton.

There is going to be what the Yanks call like a "Town Hall" or "Developer Fest" or something where randoms can get to create add-ons for the basic exoskeleton that is selected.

Oh well, it was all sort of public domain anyway last year.



But now it's official.

Also DoD has confirmed that platforms for cyberattack will become a SOCOM priority. Wetware as well as hardware. They are gonna develop a doctrine or something. Don't use Topiary as an XBOX network name in the meantime.

Little bit of EMP and that might not be as effective.

Looks like we have exposed the designs weakness', Ed. We should get a job in the pentagon.

I have visions of a soldier carrying a huge amount getting hit with an EMP pulse and going down like the Coyote.

Don't y'all understand how many new kitchens / chalets in Aspen / family holidays are depending on this schtick?

Don't y'all have a soul?

Of course it'll work y'all!

Not a fan of it Quickie? ;)
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?
