L107 Adaptive Combat Armor
The L107 is composed of nineteen primary armor plates, thirty secondary plates, and a one-piece, fabric-based under armor. Each of the main plate is constructed out of a 10 mm to 15 mm thick shaped piece of Titanium-A, developed specifically for the L107 by Lochinver Ordnance. Titanium-A is composed of a high-grade Titanium-50 alloy, specially strengthened at the molecular level and then through weathering and continuous layering in super-heated environments. Titanium-A is perfect for use in combat armors, due to its lightweight and extreme strength-to-weight ratio, with a high tolerance to heat. Secondary plates, shielding the user's feet, joints, obliques, and neck are composed of 13 mm Reinforced Carbon plates, graded against 9x19mm Parabellum ammunition. On center mass, where the Titanium-A plates are their thickest, the L107 is able to deflect 5.56x45mm assault rifle cartridges, and .45 ACP where it is at its thinnest (10 mm). The plates are all connected to a molecularly strengthened cotton suit, its make-up forming boron carbide molecule. Used to protect tanks, boron carbide is an extremely hard substance, between Corundum crystal and diamond on Mohs scale of hardness. Underneath this fabric is a contained 20 mm layer of hydrostatic gel. One of the Hydrostatic Gel's main purposes and drives is to conform to the wearer's shape and body temperature, regulating environment temperature. The Gel has the ability to be pressurized to various levels via an electrical charge, allowing it's wearer an amount of cushioning during hard impacts, such as being hit by a gunshot. This way, a wearer can survive falls from slightly great heights or other similar conditions as long as the gel is pressurized. Because of this, a great portion of the trauma normally felt by a soldier wearing Kevlar is alleviated, preventing broken bones and extreme bruising.
The L107, while being equipped with a multi-environmental visual camouflage pattern, is equipped with multi-spectral camouflage, designed to thwart active infra-red imaging. The body heat of the user is shielded from wearing the armor, due to the armor plating and the temperature regulating properties of the hydrostatic gel. However, in night vision optics, the armor's figure would normally differ from its background, becoming darker. However, with the application of infrared paint, the armor is considerably harder to detect. The L107 is completely modular. Pieces of armor plating may be detached and replaced with others, or left off completely. In its completely bare form (just the under armor layer), the L107 is graded against 9x19mm Parabellum and is only 3 kg (6.6 lb). The thigh plates, waist, the chest plate, the back plates and the shoulder plates are equipped with clips which ammunition, packs, tools, and other essentials. A magnetic weapons rack may be attached to the backplates, allowing for the user to simply slide his firearm on his back without the need for straps. A similar attachment may be mounted on the waist for the user's sidearm, which is extremely useful in close quarters situations. Velcro stripes are mounted on the shoulder plates and knee plate to allow space for rank markings, unit insignia, and medical markings. In addition, the L107 is equipped with motorized joints which exaggerates the user's movements, while retaining precise action. This system aids the suit overcome its weight and size, even enhancing performance in combat situations.
The L107's helmet is equipped with an air filtration system, similar to that of a gas mask, a communications device, a polarized visor, and voice/hearing amplification device. The visor, being polarized, reduces glare and light intensity dramatically, aiding the soldier in high-heat areas. It is also equipped with 5x magnification and is constructed out of shrapnel proofed, shatter proof crystalline, providing protection to the user. The visor is outfitted with an advanced, light intensifying infrared lens which may be toggled during night operations. This gives the soldier extreme convenience, not having to carry a bulky night-vision set for this environment. The visor projects orders from command, transcripts of communications, the integrity of the suit, the battery level, and ammunition count. The L107 comes with 12 devices which may be inserted into the soldier's magazines. By inputted the weapon caliber and the amount of ammunition in the magazine to begin with, these devices transmit ammunition count to the visor. This function means the soldier always knows how much ammunition he has left, even during the night time when visibility is minimal.
All of the suit's electrical functions (motorized joints, visor functions, communications, and air filtration) are powered by a twenty-cell Lithium power conduit mounted at the based of the spinal column providing adequate power for all the systems, plus emergency systems if need be. This battery is graded to be able to function continuously for 50 days, and may be recharged via solar panels mounted on the conduit.
