In order to integrate promising technology into a comfortable and lightweight fitting fitting, the US military research institute is soliciting suggestions, which will help soldiers to prevent injuries and increase endurance. < /p >
< p > infantry has to face many risks. The most common is the long time in rough terrain, often carrying more than 45.4kg (100 pounds) of equipment damage. Heavy load increases the possibility of musculoskeletal injury, and also increases fatigue, leading to acute and chronic injuries, which impedes soldiers' physical and cognitive abilities in performing specific tasks. To help meet these challenges, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Warrior) has asked for the final phase of the Web project. < /p >
The < p > Warrior Web project aims to build a soft and lightweight fitting fitting to help soldiers reduce injuries and fatigue and improve their ability to effectively carry out their tasks. This set of accessories can protect vulnerable areas and promote efficient and safe exercise in a wide range of activities (walking, running, jumping, climbing, etc.). Comfortable, durable and washable, it will not interfere with bulletproof clothing or other standard a href= "http://m.pmae.cn/news/index_c.asp" > clothing < /a > equipment. DARPA is trying to create a work prototype that can significantly increase endurance, carrying capacity and overall soldier combat effectiveness, but the energy consumption does not exceed 100 watts. < /p >
< p > "many single technologies are being developed, showing the prospect of reducing injuries and fatigue and improving endurance." DARPA Warrior Web project leader LTC Joseph Hitt said, "our goal now is to integrate individual technologies into a complete system -- hope is also some new technology. This system can be worn by almost every soldier and will have decisive benefits in real world conditions. " < /p >
The current success of < p > project is derived from the support of Warrior Web A mission (Warrior Web Alpha). Previous efforts focused on developing a hybrid core component technology that can be worn on ankles, hips, knees and upper bodies. The executors of A have been looking for ways to directly mitigate the causes of injury and increase their muscle workload and reduce their physical burden. The task A consists of rapid joint stability, functional structure, energy injection, regeneration kinetics, load transfer and distribution, and flexible dynamics and kinematic sensing. < /p >
< p > the next stage of the project, Warrior Web B task: the development of advanced technology aims at making use of the A task to form technology investment to further promote the development of fully integrated a href= "http://m.pmae.cn/news/index_c.asp" > tights "/a" system. DARPA is currently looking for ways to best develop and implement ideas and technical recommendations for Warrior Web systems. < /p >
< p > DARPA seeks advice in the following technical areas: < /p >
< p > multi node integrated advanced control system; < /p >
< p > material, fabric, structure, sensor, sensor interface and human factors related to qualified auxiliary wearable technology; < /p >
< p > in combat situations, greatly reduce the potential acute or chronic injury of wearers; < /p >
< p > techniques to increase human activities and / or human endurance in activities, such as running, weightlifting, climbing, loading, shooting, etc.; < /p >
< p > for rehabilitation, physical therapy, or additional supplementary wearable technology aimed at helping the elderly improve their quality of life. < /p >
