Background/Overview: The Military Performance Division (MPD) at the U.S. Army Research of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM) conducts research to optimize Soldier performance under all conditions. Exoskeletons are emerging as a tool that aids in performance enhancement. Currently USARIEM lacks the capability to perform tests on exoskeletons due to lack of access to such devices. Much of the research on exoskeletons to enhance military ground troop performance has focused on decreasing energy expenditure during steady state movement at different walking speeds, for example during a road march or while on patrol with and without the addition of a carried load. USARIEM MPD seeks to acquire (purchase, rent or lease) exoskeletons in order to continue this line of research, and extend this line of research by examining additional military physical performance tasks/metrics and to assess whether performance improvements also concurrently increase injury risk.
