| No EMP will not affect a human (for the most part).
But it will affect electronic circuits.
Body armor doesn't have electronic circuits (unless you count the cooling unit). This will still enable Western troops to fight with a slight advantage even if their electronic weapons are somehow out of commision.
Future versions of full body armor should be lighter and may not even need a cooling unit. However its good to have a cooling and heating unit for such armor, but its use shouldn't be dependent on the unit. |
