Origin of Exo-Dynamics
Exo-Dynamics start out developing and producing high quality high performance knee braces. However now in 2024 Exo-Dynamics is developing prototypes of a functional combat capable suit of powered armour. With a composite armour, a fully supporting carbon fibre inner exo-skeleton, fitted with electronic actuators providing gravity assist along with a suite of additional electronics. All to provide improved protection and lethality for the soldier on the modern battlefield - while making science fiction a reality.
Features, Goals and uses for the Power Armour Project
The suit is.
- Fully self-supporting and designed to be weightless on the operator’s body.
- Has a composite armour that stops 5.56mm Nato ball ammunition out of a 22inch bolt action at 25 yards.
- Has a CNC machined carbon fibre and aluminium inner exo-skeleton.
- Will soon be powered by electronic actuators (8 in total) that provide gravity assist (soon to be fitted).
Use case.
- 90-95% armour coverage in firing positions heavily reduces the risks of room clearing.
- Heavily reduces the risk of shrapnel wounds from shells, IED blasts, grenades and small FPV drones.
- Allows for heavier more powerful weapon systems to be utilised without putting the weight on the operator.
- Becomes a force multiplier, increasing lethality and survivability.
- Works as a platform for future technology integration such as a mixed reality helmet display.
- Can be re-engineered for medical/rehabilitation use.
