Description
The Air Force has a vital and urgent need to provide overmatched capabilities for mobility to meet real-time requirements and match mounting threats from near-peer adversaries like China and Russia. Powered exoskeletons for the lower limb are being explored for mobility augmentation, and the Dephy ExoBoot platform enhances the ability for Airmen that need to walk long distances or with heavy loads with less metabolic expenditure such as Wildland Firefighters walking long distance over rough terrain while carrying equipment, to fight fires.
