M6B Special Operations Battle Armour

The M6B Body Armour is the newest version of the M6 body Armour, made famous by Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. The armour remains similar to its predeccesor and with new updates to its systems allows it to continue to see frontline service.

The body armour is made of composite materials, using a skin of nanotech polymers. The surface layer is titanium alluminide, with a underlayer of boron carbide which is resin bonded to carbon fibres. This is all on top of a Kevlar diamond weave internal layer. The armour is of a thicker composition than that of the standard body armour, without heavily affecting mobility. The nanotech polymers are controlled through the central command system in the helmet, linked to the users neural interface. This is also connected to the CTC, IFF, motion detectors, HUD systems on the polarised visor with thermal capable vision

It carries as as standard thermal regulation systems keeping the user comfortable at all times by warmimng and cooling the inside and keeping the outside as a 'black body' on infrared. It is both airtight and holds enough air for fifteen minutes of operation. The unit, as standard, carries a small fusion powerback and a energy shield.
