OPFOR has a list up of their wishes for goodies from DARPA.  It’s good, but I have my thoughts:

1. Better Body Armor: The IBA has a pretty good track record- but what if body armor 10 years from now weighed 10 pounds instead of 40 and provided better protection? Perhaps some polymer can be invented […]
