Functional Areas

The TALOS vision is divided into distinct functional areas, each charged with integrating state-of-the-art technologies into a single, purpose-built combat suit system. An overview of each functional area is provided below:

Power & Energy
The TALOS power supply must generate enough power to support the suit for a typical SOF mission profile. It must be self-contained, in a man-packable form factor, reliable, redundant and tactically realistic.

Mobility & Agility
This area focuses on the development of a exoskeleton system that provides full-body load transfer, while dramatically improving the physical performance of an Operator, providing beyond optimal performance capabilities, with no hindrance to movement.

Survivability
The mission of this area is to maximize protection from common man-packable combat threats, emphasizing a focus on historic vulnerabilities while minimizing impacts to agility.

Operator Interface
The Operator Interface will use integrated movement control and intuitive cognitive interface systems to provide an exponential leap in situational awareness.

Human Factors
This area is focused on utilizing modeling and simulation tools to guide TALOS design approaches. It incorporates technologies for real-time physiological, cognitive, and medical monitoring, maintaining optimal thermal state, and integrating human- machine interfaces to maximize Operator performance via biomedical modeling.

Computing
This area requires an onboard multi-core real-time processing open source architecture to support agile upgrades, seamless systems fusion, and onboard data storage.

C3I
TALOS requires a modular communication solution that can digitally sense environmental data via multiple modalities and allow high bandwidth communication with other assets.
