Summary of the individual technologies
The ACIA Project combines many state-of-the-art armor technologies.
1. The Black Widow Spiderweb Biosteel project. Through genetic manipulation, the genes that produce the black widow spider’s superior webbing amongst its ilk were isolated and produced in common animal livestock to produce a fiber known as biosteel. The rate of protection on a single fiber is 20 times stronger then that of steel, and a fraction of the weight. Produced for first layer of the Achilles project and is classified as BSCT-V10 (BioSteel Cloth Technology; Variant 10) It is used both as the cloth cover of the body armor, and as a clothing-style armor that is worn beneath the Achilles Armor.
2. STF ‘Liquid Armor’ specially treated kevlar
The key component of liquid armor is a shear thickening fluid. STF is composed of hard particles suspended in a liquid. The liquid, polyethylene glycol, is non-toxic, and can withstand a wide range of temperatures. Hard, nano-particles of silica are the other components of STF. This combination of flowable and hard components results in a material with unusual properties.
This is the first layer of the external body armor, STF Treated Kevlar.
3.Rubber-Ceramic Compound Disc Scalemail (RCCD ‘Scalemail’)- ‘Scale mail’ design using similar technology to Dragon Skin armor. The concept of spreading out the impact force of a bullet resulting in greatly reduced hydrostatic shock has been applied to a specially developed ceramic-rubber compound disc, in overlapping layers.
4. Polyethylene Thermoplastic Trauma Plate (PTTP) – Offering slightly less protection then standard steel and ceramic trauma plates, the PTTP fits in well with the flexible and lightweight design of the Achilles Armor, and is the recommended material, but can be interchanged with the Trauma Plate Pockets for other materials.
Summary
As shown in the above photo, the armor is produced in two parts. The first layer is produced in a cloth-like fashion of biosteel, weighing no more then average clothes. This is to make every square inch of the wearer invulnerable to penetration from such objects as bayonet, knives, and related material.
Intial testing also indicates that it is highly resistant to small arms fire, and extremely fire retardant but does not protect the wearer in blunt force trauma. Consequences such as hydrostatic shock, blunt force trauma, and penetration, though greatly reduced, are still a factor with this layer. Estimated at level II protection.
Iintial testing has placed the Achilles Body Armor at an astonishing 347% increased protection form standard-issue modern body armor. A chestplate, knee, shoulder and elbow pad variations have also been developed. Suffice to say a standard issue M4 rifle cannot penetrate an Achilles Armor, nor produce a hydrostatic shock sufficient enough to debilitate an average soldier.Classified at level VI protection
Statistics:
Weight: Full armament with Standard issue in less then 17 Kilograms.
Protection: Level VI - Immune to small arms fire and bladed weaponry, and highly resistant to repeated M4 and Ak47 level ballistics. Offers increased protection from shrapnel, napalm, IED explosions and anti-personnel explosive weaponry.
Variations:
Shadow Cloth Armor (BSCA-12} This is only the biosteel cloth, that is snug to the skin, and intended to be worn underneath casual clothing: Developed for undercover police, agents in the field, and those whom cannot afford to be seen wearing standard armor.
Stalker Variant (ACIA-24)– Intended for Reconnaissance Troops, Snipers and related fields, this is a very agile and light version of the Achilles Armor with minimal protection that does not inhibit the motion of the wearer at all.
Regular Variant (ACIA-25) As pictured above, this is the version that a standard troop might wear. Utilizing a Lightweight Tactical Vest, elbow, shoulder, and knew pads, with Boot and wrist bracer attachments. Restriction is minimal.
Light Assault (ACIA-26) This is a slightly bulkier version of the regular variant, based on bomb squad body armor, where the vest is a one piece cover the entire chest area from neck to slightly past the groin, the shoulder to the lower portion of the upper arm. Restriction is more of a factor, but greatly increased protection.
Heavy Assault (ACIA-27 Vs. A, B, C.) A version still in development that would resemble an exoskeleton more then body armor, it would cover the wearer from head to toe in the combined technologies with much thicker plating that may even be resistant to grenades and other small explosions. Initial testing shows that this problem results in the affected area ‘stiffening’ thus immobilizing the soldier. Alternatives are being researched, with several promising leads.
Production capabilities: The ease of manufacture of both biosteel and STF along with industrial-level manufacturers allow for these suits to be produced at a near exponential rate.
Unit Cost:
Shadow Cloth Armor $!2,500
Stalker Variant $20,000
Regular Variant $25,000
Light Assault $35,000
The Government of Tersanctus has recently accepted our proposal, and with the intitial purchase of 400 Suits; 100 in each available variant, and testing them in proper combat situations, special ops training, and Wargame Central, has elected to use our combat suit in the Military Modernization Program. We feel that the simplicity of the suit, that is, it does not rely on electricity in any way, nor horrendously expensive nanotechnology, which while being produced on an extremely small scale and phenomenally high costs won out over all other competitors.
Currently, we are not licensed to sell these armors in foreign markets. However, the Government of Tersanctus has recently decided to allow an in-region sell and export of this armor.

Attachment: As a sign of inter-regional goodwill, any Gholgoth Nation will receive upon request 400 Units of the Achilles Armor, 100 of each Variant for their own Purposes and testing.
