DARPA developing mechanically augmented ‘super soldiers’ using motorized exoskeletons
‘US soldiers are on the verge of evolving in powerful, new, and robotic ways. Prototypes of new motorized “super soldier” suits are currently being tested. They are designed to give soldiers an edge, showing promise for enhancing a fighter’s endurance and physical ability, reducing fatigue and injury.
In September 2011, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) launched the Warrior Web program. This program is paving the way for research and development of new “super soldier” suits that are to be fully functional, wearable, mechanically augmented motorized exoskeletons. This battle layer is designed to be secured under a soldier’s typical uniform, going undetected. These suits will help soldiers carry out tasks with more efficiency and speed.’
