SOFIC: The Special Operations Command had to kill its $80 million Iron Man suit in order to save its most battle-ready pieces, command leaders said here this week, confirming that some parts of the futuristic suit have already been shipped to troops in the field.
The plan is to spend around $16 million in the coming months to continue testing and evaluating over a dozen promising technologies originally designed for the suit and incorporate them in to an ambitious new effort to modernize how special operations forces move, communicate, and fight.
