Army seeks to design bullet-proof ‘Iron Man’ suits

The U.S. Army is looking for innovative scientists to create a prototype design for futuristic, next-generation combat wear for soldiers inspired by the nano suit worn in the Iron Man films.

In an announcement posted in December, the U.S. Special Operations Command, which is part of the Defense Department, requested submissions from any ‘industry, academia, individuals and government organizations,’ interested in developing a special super suit for the military.
