ISF Powered Assault Armor

ISF Powered Assault Armor is the most advanced infantry bodyarmor avaliable to the forces of the Interex Security Forces which utilitize it. And extremely powerful and technologically advanced battle exoskeleton designed to enhance human combat performance on all scales, only a precious handfull of these suits exists within the military of Interex, and represent the nation's most successful attempts to increase the longivity and lethality of the individual soldier. These suits of armor are the trademark feature of the Interex Armored Infantry, who spearhead the assaults of Interex military units, and use highly-effective and devestating "burn-in" tactics to surprise an enemy force.

Components
The armor consists of numerous components designed to aid its wearer in his duty; each of which are extremely vital to the success of the combatant.

Electro-Magnetic Armor
The outmost layers of the armor make up what is the most effective feature of its protective system: a series of powerful electro-magnets which produce enough force to negate the power of bullet. Powered by the suit's fusion battery core, the electro-magnetic systems are located in vital areas of the armor, namely around the heart, head, stomach, and back, and several other areas such as the legs. The system is also capable of deflecting even heavy weapons fire such as RPGs, which though the impact is deflected in full, the force of the resulting explosion will still rack the wearer of the armor. The defense system works by using the force of the enemy attack against them, meaning that a strong enough punch will trigger the reactive defenses. However, slower attack will completely bypass the protection; though fighting a six-foot tall enemy in power armor tends to discourage people from gauging their attacks.

Tritium-Alloy Armor Plating
ISF Powered Assault Armor plating is composed of tritium alloy, a very lightweight but extremely resilient material that is also found in the heavier IMI Enyo Mech. This armor plating covers sections of the wearer including the legs, shoulders, abdomen, back, chest, and helmet; its primary function is to protect against small arms projectiles such as AK-47s, FN FALs, and similars devices, as well as other munitions like plasma or high-explosives.

Pauldrons
While also serving as armor plating, shoulder pauldrons benefit the USIF Powered Assault Armor's wearer in ways other than protection. Their interior contains advanced micro-computer systems that help the armor better manage its already efficient power allocation. The armor's pauldrons possess highly efficient micro-computers that are awarded to soldiers upon reaching certain ranks (Sergeant, Captain, and finally General). These superior pauldrons permanently replace lesser ones on a wearer's armor, allowing increasingly more power to be diverted to upgrades for the armor systems. Thus, the higher a wearer's rank, the more efficient their pauldrons are at helping to manage power and thereby granting more energy for more deadly armor upgrades.

Synthetic Muscle System
Beneath the immediate surface of the armor is the suit's synthetic muscle, utilitizin decades of research, materials, and hard-earned money. The system consists of hexagonal-shaped titanium-reinforced nanofibers, all of which are connected into larger cords, which in turn strung together with even more cords to create the complex muscle system. The nanofibers react to constant electrical stimulation from the armor, causing them to move with the wearer. The synthetic muscles greatly improve the strength, speed, and reaction time of the wearer, allowing him to lift very heavy objects by himself and excel in close combat against otherwise superior opponents such as tanks.

The synthetic muscle system covers the entirety of the wearer, protecting them from weaker projectiles, such as cased rounds, that would otherwise kill them outside of the armor. The system can accept nanites which can repair damaged parts of the suit, and keep it in peak condition. Recent advances in technology allow the armor to utilize self-replicating nanites, and the armor constantly deploys them when damage is done to the suit, allowing for full regeneration of damage without a repair tool. However, this feature is reserved for only the most senior of the military with access to these suits. Additionally, it greatly dampens EMP attacks against the suit and allows the soldier to engage in Overdrive Mode, enabling him to reach speeds of up to 75 mph.

Most importantly, the synthetic muscles are able to completely absorb extremely intense G-forces and high-velocity impacts. This makes the synthetic muscle system vital to the wearer's survival whenever he is "burning-in", as it absorbs the G-forces that would otherwise render the wearer unconscious when plummeting from thousands of feet above the ground at extremely high velocities, and then absorbs the tremendous force generated from the otherwise fatal impact upon their landing, keeping the wearer unharmed from such a high-speed drop. This system also allows the wearer to jump from any height without fear of damage.

NUBIOCHEM System
Beneath the synthetic muscle is a layer known as the Nuclear Biological Chemical (NUBIOCHEM) System. This layer is composed of a tight-fitting but flexible nanocomposite bodyglove. It helps seal out any and all external substances from the wearer, such as poisonous air, liquids, radiation, and even a hard vacuum. It also seals the suit's built-in oxygen, food, and water supplies from external particles, in order to facilitate long-term operations in any environment. The NUBIOCHEM system is also augmented with ultraviolet radiation emitters within the armor to further kill off any particulate organisms.

Biolayer Interior
The final and innermost layer is a soft biolayer that sits directly on the wearer's skin. This layer acts as an extra impact cushion and helps regulate temperature, fit, and moisture. It also provides a further tight, yet comfortable seal. Inside this layer are multiple sensors linked to the suit's computer; these sensors monitor the wearer's biometrics.

Helmet
Protecting the wearer's head is an intuitive helmet, officially known as the ISF XS4 Tactical Helmet. It contains its own NUBIOCHEM system, augmented with advanced air filters unique to the helmet. These filters take in air from outside the suit and filter out toxins, bacteria, viruses, and even radiation via a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration system. The filtered air (pure oxygen), can be breathed in immediately by the wearer or stored in the armor's compressed oxygen canisters for later use. This helmet also contains a Heads Up Display (HUD), which shows information such as mission data, an ammunition counter, supply and oxygen levels, as well as the I dentification Friend or Foe ( IFF) display, which gives real-time information about where both enemy and friendly units are located. This is aided by the use of the Interex recognition chips, which are implanted int citizens at birth. Also in the helmet is the most advanced multi-spectral communications gear available to the Interex Armored Infantry.

The helmet consists of multiple layers, the first of which is a tritium-alloy outer layer identical to the armor covering the rest of the suit. This outer layer includes two small panels which cover the wearer's eyes. These panels can be retracted back into the rest of the helmet to allow the user to see directly out. On these panels are blue eye slits, two on each panel, accounting for a total of four. The wearer does not see straight through these slits, since they are actually optical cameras that are connected to the wearer's HUD. Underneath the armored layer is an orange-colored visor which displays the HUD. The visor is made of a type of durable bulletproof glass. The final layer is a mask that goes over the wearer's mouth. This mask supplies the wearer with oxygen, food, and water directly from the armor's storage areas.
