Russia is testing a combat exoskeleton

A fighter in a promising exoskeleton will be able to carry up to 100 kg payload and fire a machine gun with one hand, Interfax-AVN transmits a message from Oleg Faustov, chief designer for the life support system of combat equipment of TsNIITOCHMASH.

В России идут испытания боевого экзоскелета

The main purpose of the exoskeleton is to increase the physical capabilities of the user. We have already tested samples of the exoskeleton, in which you can conduct fairly effective shooting from a rifle or machine gun using one hand, said Faustov.

According to our calculations, fighter in “correct” combat exoskeleton will be able to move around the battlefield at speeds up to 20 kmh, while carrying up to 100 kilogram of payload, he added.

According to the words of the designer, many elements of the exoskeleton can actually be created now, However, there is a problem with the batteries.

We also have a scientific and technical reserve for them in Russia, and abroad, but not created yet “battery”, which would meet the requirements, said Faustov.

he explained, that an active exoskeleton, unlike a passive one, provides its work due to an autonomous energy source. Exoskeleton, powerless, reduces the weight load of the carried goods on the user.

Recall, previously Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces of the Russian Federation Oleg Salyukov reported, that an exoskeleton can also be integrated into the new set of combat equipment "Warrior 3".
