In movies like Alien, Avatar, Edge of Tomorrow, and Iron Man, we’ve seen exoskeleton forms that people wear, sometimes for military purposes, sometimes to oppose the planet’s strong gravity. Many countries have been working on this technology for many years. Turkey, on the other hand, has reached the testing stage in its domestically developed passive exoskeleton project.
The passive exoskeleton system developed by Interact has started to be used!
These exoskeletons and similar systems, which we see in movies and admire, are used by armies to increase the performance of soldiers and to provide resistance to harsh conditions, and they also enable people to perform above the existing ones in jobs that require muscle strength.
The system, which was developed locally by Interact, is actually similar to this. This exoskeleton, which is made by targeting the military’s areas of use, helps the soldiers to feel the load of up to 40 kg, 80 percent less, that is, to carry 8 kg. When used in natural terrain conditions, it will also have a great effect in climbing-like situations.
Peace is made with the enemy: UAE is building an SİHA army with Bayraktar TB2!
The UAE (United Arab Emirates) has reached an agreement to buy a large number of Bayraktar TB2s. 5 more deals may follow.
Native exoskeleton features:
- Easy and fast to wear.
- Compatible with ballistic vest, knee pad and helmet.
- It absorbs dynamic forces.
- It protects the joints.
- It effectively transfers the load to the ground.
- It relieves the felt load by up to 80 percent.
- It is suitable for land conditions.
- Increases stamina.
- It has high joint clearance.
- It adapts to the user.
- It supports agile movements.
- It is compatible with tactical maneuvers.
- Provides support on sloping terrain.
- It supports climbing.
- It is durable and lightweight.
- It works silently.
- It complies with the MIL-STD-810G standard.
- Field tested.
- It has passed biomechanical tests.
In the post made by İsmail Demir, President of the Defense Industry, the following was stated:
“We have completed our Passive Exoskeleton Project, which makes our soldier’s load of up to 40 kg feel 80% light with minimal impact on his maneuverability. We gave the first prototypes of the system developed by Interact to our security forces. After field feedback, we start deliveries.”
