The project was established with special forces operatives in mind. Along with the advancements in technology lighter materials and designs are used to maximize the reduction of weight of the necessary gear carried during missions. A further step is to use special solutions that will facilitate the user in carrying weight. Not only will it improve a soldier's combat abilities but will also reduce fatigue which inhibits cognitive processes. Reduction of encumbrance will also allow to avoid injuries that could make a person unfit for duty for an extended period of time.
The Uprise exoskeleton is made of titanium. Its shape was designed as not to obstruct movement in any way. Thats important, the device transfers 50 to 80 percent of carried weight to ground.
