Martian Light Armor

Martian light armor is the primary armor worn by the Martian Marine Corps and Martian soldiers. Like those of the United Nations Navy, it combines both vacuum capabilities and armor protection as standard. The light armor is functional as both a vacuum suit and for general body protection even on Earth, if visiting there on a Martian embassy detail. The armor covers the torso and all limbs while retaining flexibility to allow the wearer good movement. Inbuilt into both wrists are holographic computers which can be used to scan DNA via the fingertip. The armor also contains thrusters for maneuvering when in zero-g environments. There are two variants of helmet worn with this armor, the 1st variant with increased face armor, and 2nd variant with a full face panel. Both helmets include a sun-visor that can be pulled down over the face panels. Both Marines and Navy personnel can wear this armor. Air for vacuums is provided by a backpack which can be attached. For rapid decelerating an expendable thruster pack ejects from the backpack and provides downwards thrust for a few moments before detaching. The armor is able to filter the wearer's blood of certain substances to protect them from injury to a limited degree, such as by removing excess potassium resulting from muscle damage.
