The Singapore army is currently trialing a titanium exoskeleton that is supposed to reduce the load of soldiers by up to 80%.

A video that was posted on the Singapore Army’s Facebook page shows a soldier donning an exoskeleton over his army uniform. It is believed that this technology is considered extremely expensive and it is unlike that the exoskeleton will be distributed to all soldiers as a standard-issue item.
The exoskeleton will most probably be issued to soldiers that carry heavy items over long distances such as those individuals in the anti-tank infantry and special forces.
