US spends $ 7m to develop a skeleton to help soldiers become 'super warriors'

Combined with special sensors and artificial intelligence, the US military's future support framework will allow soldiers to carry heavy weapons and increase their durability with difficult terrain.

The US military has recently signed a $ 7 million deal with Lockheed Martin to develop a skeleton called Onyx that helps soldiers improve their combat capabilities in all terrains.

With new tech support, US troops will be significantly strengthened.

Initially Onyx was created to assist people with disabilities who have difficulty moving. However, with the potential of this skeleton, the US military was unable to ignore it.

It supports and increases the leg strength for tasks requiring troops to lift or pull heavy loads, holding instruments or equipment, kneeling continuously or continuously or squatting, crawling, hiking, walking sets with loads, walking up or down hills or carrying goods on stairs.

When human strength is challenged, Onyx will be the assistant to make a difference, reduce muscle fatigue, increase endurance and reduce injuries for users , "said Lockheed Martin.

Special support will help the American troops to reduce fatigue greatly.

According to Lockheed Martin, the Onyx skeleton will be integrated into American military outfits, including armor, night vision and modern radio equipment.

In fact, today, the armor and support equipment of the current US soldiers have a total weight of up to 64kg. This is a startling number and it is roughly double the 23kg payload for every Pentagon soldier at the limit.
