Is The Iron Man Suit Still Getting Built?

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.

It was supposed to offer protection against bullets and help soldiers on operations when scanning for the enemy. However, the project met an untimely demise.

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 technology developed has allowed the military to develop new lightweight armour along with helmet displays offering situational awareness.

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.

It just wasn’t enough to create the super suit ready for testing and mass manufacturing.

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.
