SOCOM’s Iron Man Suit Sees ‘Astounding’ Progress: Adm. McRaven:

"Three unpowered prototype suits are being assembled and should be delivered to SOCOM
in June, McRaven said at the National Defense Industrial Association’s Special
Operations/Low Intensity Conflict conference here. The first operating suit is due by August
2018. What will the “astounding progress” yield if all goes well? “That suit, if done correctly,
will yield revolutionary increase in survivability and lethality,” McRaven said."

Tiltrotor Drone Could Haul Supplies, Rescue the Wounded:

"Take the wing from a V-22 Osprey tiltrotor, mate it to the top of a septic tank and you’ll have

aircraft of choice for delivering cargo and lifting out wounded troops."
