H.U.L.C. EXOSKELETON(SCIENCE FACT)
The average soldier often carries heavy loads, which can and will lead to potential injuryThis issue is now a thing of the past with H.U.L.C. (Human universal load carrier): a hydraulic-powered, completely untethered, anthropomorphic exoskeletonGives the average soldier the ability to carry a huge quantity of gear for prolonged periods of time
Works on all terrainsHas a flexible design so the user can still be light on his or her feet
CONTINUED Onboard micro-computer ensures the exoskeleton moves in unison
with the user H.U.L.C.’s major components are interchangeable in the field Can operate on battery power because of its power-saving design Does not restrict mobility Can also carry a maximum load with or without power

RELATION TO FORCE
The hydraulics take large amounts of force, with the help of a
microcomputer, to move in unison with the soldier or whoever is using
it
H.U.L.C. is
hydraulic-
powered
RELATION TO MOTION
The built-in
microcomputer is
calibrated to the user
With the help of special
sensors, H.U.L.C. can
move in unison with user without restricting mobility
Can carry up to 200 pounds of gear (rifle,
sidearm, magazines,
food, etc.) for extended periods of
timestill allows the user to walk, run,
sprint, leap,
preform deep
crouches, and go
prone and crawl

Beetles, ants, and lobster have their own natural exoskeleton. Now humankind has stepped up to bat with their own wearable exoskeleton.

AstronautSuits
http://soberinthecauldron.blogspot.com/2011/06/world-bitesluncheons-with-astronauts.html
Astronaut suits may not augment one’s abilities but does keep the user from suffocating by covering and sealing their body from the outside.
Scuba Diver Suits
Like astronauts, dry suits and wet suits, along with the oxygen tanks, protect the user from the outside.

HazmatSuits
Hazmat suits are like scuba diving suits, instead hazmat suits are built for blocking lethal radiation.
