Halo Armor - AKA The Trojan

The Trojan Ballistics Suit of Armor is a protection suit designed by Troy Hurtubise for U.S. and Canadian soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, respectively. Troy claims that it is "the first suit of its kind in the world, it is the first ballistics exoskeleton body suit of armor." The suit has yet to make a significant sale and so the inventor is promoting it
Development
Troy Hurtubise spent 2 years and 150,000 dollars developing the Trojan suit. When worn, the Trojan provides 97% coverage of the body and 95% flexibility. The suit also weighs only 50 lbs maximum. He claims that it could be suited to a soldier for 2,000 dollars Canadian if it was mass produced. It was originally designed to stop Improvised Explosive Devices like the kind used in Iraq. However, he has had yet to test the suit against a live IED.

The suit uses a bullet-resistant foam of his own design to repel bullets and knives
Features
The Trojan Ballistics Suit of Armor's main weapons are dual pistols on magnetic holsters. There is a sheath on the wrist that contains a knife for close-quarter combat. The suit also contains a Pepper spray (called "bear spray" in Canada for legal reasons) capsule for emergency situations. Troy stated that this could be used to incapacitate 40 insurgents. This is supposedly made possible because his capsule will contain 3% oleoresin capsicum. However, it would be illegal to use in a combat situation as it is banned for use in war by the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention.

The helmet utilizes both an intake fan and an exhaust fan to keep the soldier from overheating in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan. It also includes a perfectly centered laser targeting system to mark a target to be taken out by a sniper or assault vehicle. Troy integrated a voice-activated radio into the helmet for easy communication. Two high-power lights are integrated into the side of the helmet. Troy also included a voice-changing mechanism into his helmet.

A compartment on the left arm contains a small vial of salt for the soldier and the inventor stated that each Trojan suit would contain one dose of morphineAlso, a "last-words" recorder can be taken off of a soldier and given to the family of the soldier. A transponder chip is included that can be swallowed by a soldier so that he can be extracted. A light transponder on the chest can also be activated to signal a helicopter.

On the right leg is a small remote-controlled surveillance robot. The soldier watches the robot on a small fold-out screen on the left leg. A military time world clock is integrated into the groin protector that he claims is "where it's got to be." One of the shoes also has a small handheld shovel locked in.

You know I first pointed out when I seen this video how you can see clearly his throat and chin area under the helmet and pointed out much of a weakness that could be... but I'd rather 97% protection, even with the slightly open neck area, than practically nothing in terms of protection. This really is an amazing military tool. I mean full suits of armor have been used for thousands of years in various forms. Why not use them? You can get bullet proof shieds can't you?

Bring back the armor!!!!

You have to remember though you cant just run around with armor it's flexible so you can get cover like normal infantry and stuff

@8wyatt

True. I was being sarcastic. But I suppose it wouldn't make much difference after the US murders 100,000+ non soldiers for profit. >;\
