The U.S. Army looks to optimize the physical and mental performance of soldiers through the development of an exoskeleton suit. Scientists from the Army Research Laboratory have been testing the suit since 2014 at the Soldier Performance and Equipment Advanced Research facility at Aberdeen Proving Ground as part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency‘s Warrior Web program, the Army said Friday.
