Video: Army Tests ‘HULC’ Super-Strength Gear, No Gamma Rays Allowed | Danger Room | Wired.com: "The Army is moving one small step closer to giving its troops super-strength, with a fresh round of biomechanical tests for Lockheed’s Human Universal Load Carrier exoskeleton. The trials, held at the Army’s Natick Soldier Systems Center, are supposed to gauge whether GIs can really move freely wearing the “HULC” system. It uses robotic leg braces to augment troops’ muscles, giving them the ability to carry loads of up to 200 pounds without tuckering out. If these tests work out, it could be on to field trials."
