The features and benefits of the ExoM Exoskeleton
The ExoM Exoskeleton offers four main features and benefits that make it a game-changer for military and law enforcement personnel.
1. Transformative load-bearing solution
One of the main challenges that military and law enforcement personnel face is the heavy load of equipment and gear that they have to carry for extended periods of time. This can cause physical strain, fatigue, injuries and reduced performance.
The ExoM Exoskeleton solves this problem by redistributing up to 70% of the load from the shoulders to the ground, using a titanium frame that supports the weight of the body armor and other equipment. This technology alleviates the burden on the wearer’s muscles and joints and allows them to focus on their duties without compromising their health and safety.

2. High-level full-body armor
Another challenge that military and law enforcement personnel face is the need for high-level ballistic protection, especially in hostile and unpredictable environments. The ExoM Exoskeleton provides this protection by covering the entire body with body armor panels that can withstand multiple impacts from high-caliber bullets and shrapnel.
The body armor panels are made of advanced materials that offer superior resistance and durability, while being lightweight and flexible. The ExoM Exoskeleton offers full-body coverage, which can protect the wearer from being hit by three 7.62×39mm rounds (which AK-47 rifles use) fired from a distance of approximately 33 feet.

3. Exceptional ergonomics and mobility
A third challenge that military and law enforcement personnel face is the need for ergonomics and mobility, especially when navigating challenging terrains and confined spaces. The Exon Exoskeleton ensures this by providing a flexible spine, a sliding waist belt, and articulated hip, knee, and ankle joints that mimic the natural movements of the human body.
These features allow the wearer to maintain up to 99% of their usual ease and range of motion while wearing the ExoM Exoskeleton. This flexibility proves vital for performing tasks such as climbing, crawling, running, jumping, and kneeling, without compromising the stability and balance of the ExoM Exoskeleton.

4. Self-sufficiency in remote areas
A fourth challenge that military and law enforcement personnel face is the need for self-sufficiency in remote areas, where access to power sources and charging equipment may be limited or unavailable.
The ExoM Exoskeleton addresses this by functioning as a passive exoskeleton, which means that it operates without the need for external power sources or batteries. This feature makes the ExoM Exoskeleton perfect for extended missions or remote locations, where the wearer does not have to worry about running out of power or carrying extra weight.
