I think there is definitely a future for lower body passive augmentation to help fatigue and carry more armor to protect vital areas in legs and groin.

more armor? nahhh more ammo and stuff

It would be cool to see how much someone could carry wearing that and some type of endurance test.

Nah, if it doesn't make me Kruger from Elysium I don't want it.

In that case, let's wait another 20 or 30 years for something similar to that to appear. I want an exoskeleton suit like the one in Crysis or Halo.

I'm waiting for folks to strap ballistic plates to these things, I mean it only makes sense for it to sap the weight of armor.

Adding to my wishlist on Amazon!!😁🤑

The level of mobility and passive load bearing of this makes me excited to see where this project goes.

This isn't bad, I think lighter-weight gear is a better answer at the moment. As a 13F U.S. Army combat veteran, I carried 90 pounds or more of radio, batteries, gadgets, water, ammunition, smoke grenades, and body armor over 10 miles every day in complex terrain in Kandahar Afghanistan. On one mission I carried 180 pounds of gear for a little over 20 miles. The army likes to save money by issuing heavy gear, rather than buying more expensive lightweight gear. Now I'm medically disabled and constantly paid _(with taxpayer dollars)_ for chondromalacia, degenerated meniscus, tendonitis, and fibromyalgia. It's not PTSD, shrapnel, or missing limbs. Just physical injury from carrying a crap-ton of weight over rocky hilly terrain. If the army was more proactive about reducing the weight of gear and weapons this might have been avoided. I had to stay in the army an extra 6 months _(while still getting paid)_ to be assessed medically before being discharged. Soldiers would be more easily retained, reducing recruitment and training costs. Lighter weight gear would also benefit combat effectiveness while on mission, being less fatigued and able to move faster/farther could easily make all the difference between being a target or hitting a target. Doing things like changing the quad-rail M4 handguard to a polymer one that has detachable rails would go a long way. Military generals don't seem to understand it's all connected. _"Soldiers keep getting shot, we better put more body armor on them..."_ And then we have hundreds of knee injuries for every bullet wound, and we still get shot up as much because we're moving slower and can't run to cover as quickly.

I paid 2K for my plate carrier. Two plates and side plates at RF1 rating plus the carrier and doodads attached = 9 lbs. I bet a 9 lb rifle rated 4 side plate carrier would do wonders for people's joints, but that is quite expensive.

@Ranstone You want to know what else is expensive? $1,900 a month. I'm 80% physically disabled and can barely walk. I also can't work anywhere that I know of, so it's not like I can "give anything back" to society.

Looks like that'd be something good for hikers and the like as well.

God damn my back wants this so bad

That looked really cool!

Now this is interesting.

Did he mention how much it will be, or is it even available to the civilian market?

I’d like to see one fitted to an expert gymnast or martial artist to verify “no restrictions of movement”

seems like a snag hazard

Did they not demonstrate it actually carrying a heavy load?

That belt rail looks like it can be fucked with by environmental stuff locking your rotation in place. Was this thing tested in muddy and sandy terrain or just in a warehouse?

Hasn’t the Army tested similar exoskeleton concepts and they didn’t get anywhere with them?

one of the problems is it's not improve that much power as they want unles being bulky and they want something compact slimline and still improve power load to the maximum also the software's not quite on par with human movements a wearer will feel resist force a little bit when start and stop the motions not as smooth as moving with real body

Both the US and Russia had exoskeleton prototype programs running, they both basically found it's not worth the cost or improvement to outfit a single soldier with one. Maybe when the tech is lighter and better optimized we can use it for military purposes, but all they can do rn is help you not get back pain from lifting boxes at your loading dock job.

What would be the cost?

Call of duty Exoskeleton suits

Could you show it with an 80lb bag. Do jumps,squats and some running. If you can’t run with full Gear it’s not gunna go far.

so it transfer the load all the way down to the base plate in the shoe... but doesn't that mean as soon as you step all that weight transferred back to your feet? or does it balance out as long as one foot is on the ground? also shame they didn't have this guy carry around something heavy to show it in action.

as long as one foot is on the ground, it does work.

how to put plate carrier with this suit?!!

Price point?

Singapore army is having trail on this equipment.

40 yr old me wants to steal this and go back in time to hand it to 20yr old me. I'll have to steal as time machine first. Was that at shot show?

How much does that gimmick cost?

If it doesn’t do what call of duty advance warfare’s exoskeleton suit does then I don’t want it!

I want to be able to lift a battle tank by myself and throw it into the next country otherwise I don't want it.

Take my money how much

Looks like it's going to take ages to put on
